Have you ever painted up a killer race body, only to botch the mounting job by aligning it off-center, crooked, or too far forward or back on your chassis? Everyone has done this at least once. That's why the guys at PROTOform developed the PROTOform Crosshair Body Mounting Kit! The PROTOform Crosshair Body Mounting Kit uses high-powered magnets to pinpoint the exact position of your car’s body posts. This simple but effective system is designed to make it easier to get your race body mounted up just the way you want it.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Place a Crosshair Body Post Cap on each of your chassis’ 4 body posts, securing them in place with a body clip. (Not included)
  2. Place your painted body on top of the posts, centering it from left to right as well as determining the fore/aft position, which can affect handling characteristics. (Standard position would be to center the front wheel opening trim line to the front axle of your chassis)
  3. Hold a Marking Magnet on the outside of your body close to where the body posts are. The magnet will attach itself to the precise position.
  4. Mark your body post position through the hole on the Marking Magnet with a fine-tip marker.
  5. Drill your body post holes on the marked locations with a body reamer or power drill.

Voila! All the hassle and guesswork of mounting your race body is taken out of the equation. Now you can hit the track in style.

Features:

  • Designed specifically for mounting painted r/c car bodies
  • Pinpoint accuracy from high-powered magnets
  • Made from high-quality red-anodized aluminum with convenient storage box
  • Fits most on-road chassis body posts

Includes:

  • (4) Crosshair Body Post Caps 
  • (4) Marking Magnets 
  • Storage Box

They worked great twice and then one of the round magnets broke in to 3 piece. Contacted support and was told that I would have to buy a new set.

These are cool and work great. EXPENSIVE for how often you really need. If you are really passionate about your paint jobs they are worth it, other wise save up for something to make your car faster!

Awesome, easy system to use. Very strong magnets that takes the guesswork and frustration out of mounting a TC body. Convenient storage case. A must have in your toolbox.

Garbage material. Magnets break. Their customer service is worthless.
