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.

thanks for the help guys,
opened my eyes to some different possibilities
