Yeah Racing adjustable on-road body mounts

Yeah Racing have introduced their new adjustable body mounts for the 6mm body posts of most 1/10th on-road cars. Machined from high-quality aluminium and coming black anodised for looks and protection, the body mounts offer an adjustable design by simply rotating the mount on the post to access the different level mounting holes and then fixing the platforms with the included screws. This ensures the selected height will always stay the same compared to the popular threaded twist-type mounts whose height adjustment can change over time. The set included four body mounts and four mounting screws.
