RC Maker are excited to present their new revolutionary body mounting system for use with horizontal rear body posts. The handling benefits of horizontal rear body posts are unquestionable. The downforce leveraged onto the back of the bodyshell creates significant benefits to handling, by increasing the downforce distributed to the chassis, as well as making the body more attached during left and right transitioning. However, some major issues of this system are durability, stiffness and adjustability and this new design aims to address all of those issues with improved durability due to no longer have body holes in the rear of the body, stiffness has been drastically improved also through the use of carbon and clever design and finally adjustability is able to made in the smallest of increments, whilst having a total of 7mm of travel in each extension. Between the two different sizes of carbon extensions, 32-39mm and 39-46mm, there’s a possible 14mm of travel.
