body post options for FLM x pede? - 03.11.2008, 06:58 PM

I keep breaking the plastic traxxas body posts on my FLM pede. Anyone have ideas on aftermarket body post mounts? Where can I buy something stronger? I dont want to go aluminum but something bendable or flexable would be great.

Cheers

Jade

try boiling the stock plastic posts in hot water for a half hour before installing them next time. It should make them alot more flexible and more likly to flex rather than break.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

I'm thinking I could bend these plastic duratrax posts at a 90 degree angle and mount directly to the shock towers.
