[toymkr73]

I am trying to mount a beetle body (similar to a sand scorcher body in lexan) on to a CE gold pan Buggy, anyone have any suggestions for body mounts, I want something that looks original, if possible. thanks for the help

In 1994, I had this body (Parma sand scorcher replica) on my RC10T, I only use self adhesive Velcro on the side of the tub, never had any problem. You can try CRP body mounts from ebay (monster convertion).

Now I have this body on my bl T4, I have custom build support with Tamiya body mounts.

Matt, I have tons of CRP body mounts if you need them. But I think any standard body mount will work.

A friend of mine put longer mounting screws in the back where the motor plate connects with the chassi. He used the regular hex head screws and added a nut to each to be able to tighten the whole thing.

So a bit longer screws and 2 nuts. First screw nut onto screw, now screw into motor plate (trough chassi holes) BUT tighten with the nuts to leave a gap for the body clips.

In the front he uses long body mounts like in the pictures.

Hope this helps, Tony.
