No more rolling up bodies....

I did this mod so that the rear-end of the body does not get bent up when doing wheelies. All the info is here: http://hpiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=10936

I don't know, it looks to me like a good way to lose body clips.

How well does it work?

I haven't yet had a chance to test it out, but I will try to tommorrow. (It's 101 degrees outside)

Today at the track, the body post broke so it didn't work. I didn't ever get a chance to try it out w/ doin wheelies tho.

I think there's only a couple things you can do to help prevent this. One, mount the body further forward. Two, build an extension on the rear bumper itself with something to either replace the bumper or go on behind the bumper like an aluminum plate or something. It may be a bit getto, but it would probably work better in the end. You have to remember that the rear bumper gives. So if you do add something on, it needs to stick out past the body even when the bumper/skid is compressed.
