Anyone know if they make different length body posts for the Axial AX-10 Scorpion? Back in 2012 I won a Chevy Proline body that was painted by them and featured in some Proline advertisements on an AX-10 Scorpion. (See pic below). Well, I finally got around to buying a used AX-10 to put this body on but the mounts that are currently on there holding the stock AX-10 body in place are way to wide for this proline body. Does anyone know if they make short body posts for these types of kits or did they mod the existing body posts to make it fit? I found some posts on ebay that I think might work, meaning they look shorter than the existing posts but pictures can some times be decieving so I thought Id ask you guys to see if anyone has any experience with these types of body posts.

I have a similar car cir. 2006, called a Komodo Rocker. I doubt you will \find any body posts specific to the AX10 platform but you can adapt other parts.

I searched body post on Amain and the first thing that came up was a 3" post, below.

However, since you have a fresh body you could put them in a different location like the top with a right angle post

There is also the magnetic option

Whatever solution you decide on, it will take a some research and a bit of work.
 
I found some green aluminum ones from Integy that I'm hoping will work but if not I believe that first link would also work and I could just cut them to length. Thx
