plastic washer question

[EMPERORLAY]

When i'm at the track I keep ripping of my body. Does anybody know where I can find those plastic washers the go on top of the body and below the clips

Thank's

Egg your holes a little, it's the chassis flex that is causing the problem. Egging the holes where the body posts pass through will relieve some of that.

what do you mean by egg the holes and how can I do this:sick:

Elongate the holes towards the front and back of the mounts. This will allow the body to float forward and back as the chassis flexes.

Although, most of my wrecked body issues are due to landing on the rear and crushing the tailgate or landing on the roof and buckling the body...

I use these neat clips I recieved with a body a bought on eBay. They hold great, no washer needed. They are a bit tight and if the body support is tall you can't get them over them, but for my Savage and Nitro Sport they work great.
I think they came from a place called Lockwood Hobby, don't have any other info though.

also you can cut out a scrap piece of lexan and glue it around the hole in a washer shape, That will make it stronger too.

I have done this many times, works well.

I like to apply a nice layer around the holes with SHOO GOO. It gives the body some cushion when running. Also prevents the "body rattling" noise when running.
