These are sweet. Great for 1/8th scale and in many sizes to fit your needs.

after losing 2 clips today no matter which way i position them, i think in the long term a clip holder would be a good idea too maybe a couple of cable ties through a hole in the body?

Here is what I use to do on my sons buggy:
*Get one of those really thin zipties and run a body clip through the end
*Then slide about 2 1/2" to 3" of fuel tubing over the zip tie
*Then run the exposed end of the ziptie through one of the hole on the shock tower.
*To finish up, cut the end off of another ziptie put in on the end that went through the shock tower, sinch it down, clip of the ends
No more lost body clips.

I use fishing line, it works great!

I've found that not crashing and/or getting tangled up with other racers greatly reduces the chances of losing body clips.
Seriously, I just use a piece of fuel tube and a zip tie. I haven't lost a body clip in years.

But, my method is lighter.
