Body post Modification
 

Several ideas here, most are not new but applications from 1/10 or other kits I've done over the years.

#1 The DTM uses silicone fuel tubing over the body posts as a stop for the body. This both cushions the body to chassis and keeps from scratching the inside paint from the body.

#2 Use this same setup on the DPR

#3 Bend the ends of the small body clips so that you can get a grip on them

#4 If you continually lose these little clips, attach the clips to the body with short lengths of fishing line

What about drilling holes in the end in the top of the posts and using mini body clips?

That's what I do!!:D :D

Good suggestion, just be carefull to center the hole.
