Default Velcro Body mounts, a how to on my TA05v2 Gallardo
Some bodies are too pretty too drill holes in...

I used balsa wood because it is light, and keep cutting body posts until I have the ride height I want. Then drill the balsa wood. This will act as base for he velcro mount. Use a rotary sander to sand down the body posts for a flat surface.




Apply hook and loop velco, make sure it is secure.

All done


Done product. No body posts for a clean look. The velcro is so strong you can pick the car up by it.






Got a 60a 6000kv system coming for this sucker this week. Also HPI X-Patterns. Hope you guys enjoy. Body posts are a pain in the ass. This requires no body pins being lost, and is strong as hell. All you have to do is align the body with the wheels/chassis when you remount it.
