These mounts work great as far as magnetic mounts go. Also, this is a full set. The post attach horizontally to the shock tower for the rear and the small bullet like metal things go on your stock front body mount post after you cut them down close to the appropriate height. Just wanted to point that out before others passed on these or bought two complete sets based on other reviews. My only grips is that since the magnets are so strong, they can come together with enough force to crack them. However this is not uncommon with magnets this small that are also this strong so I only took one star away for this. It's a good idea to put a layer of tape over the ones you put in your body so it softens the impact should you let it go too soon and it clicks in hard.
Great clean way to mount a drift body. Easy install on MST RMX 2.5
Original comment: Just like a previous reviewer, I had a problem with missing set screws. I usually don’t write negative reviews of any kind, but when you charge $60 for RC body mounts & have missing parts, trust me, you’re gonna upset a lot of people. Revised comment: After seeing this review, Jared at Amain rectified the issue immediately. Scale Reflex makes quality stuff but their packaging effort leaves a lot to be desired. The lesson here is that the safest way to try Scale Reflex is to BUY FROM AMAIN HOBBIES unless you want to get set screwed.
Nice kit easy to use but….. only 2! Mounts! Soo you will have to drop $100+ dollars to mount the body. It’s not worth the money for that kind of cost especially when othe kits and half the cost but just a bit a of labor in set up.
These are expensive no doubt. However they are way stronger magnets than any of the cheap versions I’ve encountered. Like others have said this is a set to setup your chassis for one body. The front bullets use the original body posts. The rears mount to the rear body mount posts. I’m using these on a Yokomo RD2.0 and they work great. The front are self centering, for example I’ve hit the wall at the drift track and most times my body will pop right back into place and I can just keep on practicing.
Reviewers generally find the Scale Reflex Gorilla Mounts magnetic body mount kit (Black) strong and well built, with easy installation on drift chassis such as the MST RMX 2.5 and Yokomo RD2.0. The front bullet mounts use the original body posts and the rear mounts attach to the rear body post. Several reviewers note the kit is expensive and covers only one body, and some reviewers say the set is limited to two mounts. Recurring issues include missing set screws in some kits, and one reviewer warns the magnets can snap together hard enough to crack when not protected. Reviewers suggest taping the mounts in the body. One reviewer says the seller resolved a missing-parts problem promptly.
