Except for some special edition parts for the Tamiya TA-01/02, you can't get white body posts for Tamiya chassis (unless you paint them).
What's special about Tamiya body posts? Can't you take any body posts, cut them to length and thread a 3mm screw inside from the underside?
Depending on the chassis model, they either screw into the side of the shock towers/gearboxes or plug into (usually) hex-shaped holes. I don't know what chassis this car uses, but in the first pic it looks like the rear body mounts have an S-shape to them...

It's Tamiya's way, don't ask why.

I have some Tamiya alloy body mount "arms" with square-shaped holes. I suppose if one wanted to, one could swap the square-ended body posts with normal white round-ended ones...but I digress. Back on topic. :mrgreen:
