I just bought these and have mixed feelings. "the idea is great tho a little more thought and engineering is needed" - I agree. These are permanantly set to the narrow setting so they will not work on bodies already drilled for wide front, narrow rear like the stock post locations. So if you have a fresh uncut body, go ahead and get these. But be prepared to cut the rear posts down to fit SC bodies. This kit should have included an extra set of front/short posts for running SC bodies. I'm sure it works great for rally bodies. Also, the mounts feel weaker than the RPM mounts. I'm used to being able flip my truck over on the bench and the posts being able to support the truck - the pro-lines will bend and I had to bend them back to shape. Not so with the Traxxas or RPM. I currently have the 'front' mount in the rear, and RPM up front to fit my currently cut bodies. But you can't argue that using thumbscrews is a cool idea to replace bodyclips.
basically these are terrible, not even one battery pack and thumb parts were pulling through, the idea is great tho a little more thought and engineering is needed.
Very flexible and weak Stockers are much better. I purchase the RPM body mounts after one day with these. Not a good upgrade
These body posts are too flimsy, while trying to mark the body for the holes they would move just under the weight of the body so I had to mark two different sets of holes which look like crap, not to mention the pro line bronco body doesn't fit the slash 4x4 very well, which I wrote a review on that product as well.
These body mounts work great. I bought them orginally to convert my slash 4x4 to a rally car but have decided to use them for short course racing. They take the abuse and my fingers love no more body clips.
Reviewers are divided on these body mounts for the Traxxas Slash 4x4. Several praise the adjustability, easy installation, and removal of body clips, and report the mounts holding up to racing use. Others call them flimsy or flexible, with some reporting thumb parts pulling through, posts shifting under body weight, and weaker support than stock or RPM mounts. A recurring issue is fit: the mounts are set to a narrow front position, so they do not suit bodies pre-drilled for wide front and narrow rear, and one reviewer reports a front fit problem on a 4x4 Ultimate. Some reviewers say a short-course front post set should have been included. Reviews are mixed and some are from non-verified buyers, so confidence is moderate.
