Body Mounting Ideas for Scale Trucks from GCM

[@GrimsockRC]

Ive been doing this for a while now and never thought of the clips underneath. Great ideas! Thank you for sharing all these.

[@GCMRacing1]

Thanks for the comments!

[@steveparr7816]

great simple body mount ideas on some v-nice trucks

[@heymikes]

I've used several of these methods on my trucks over the years. My last one, the Axial G6, I used some neodymium magnets I got off the E-bay. Shoe goo'd 4 under the lexan and 4 on top of the body posts. holds pretty tight, until side loaded.

[@GCMRacing1]

That's a great addition! Using the magnets does work very well! Thanks!

[@paulschryer9571]

Ya, that's what I thought !!! - Thankyou for your input, I am trying to decide which mounting system to use !!!? - I probably will use the magnent style mounting approach !! 🤔..... ??? Or the velcro style, cuz I won't need a whole lot of "hold" for my light weight JEEP CREEP BODY !! 😁 It's going on a GMADE (GS02F) CHASSIS !!! - OH YA !!!! 👍😜🤘😎 My GMADE (GS02F) "IS" THE BEST AVAILABLE, (STOCK) RC CRAWLER, IN THE WORLD !!!! .....SO FAR... CHECK IT OUT ON THE "ADVENTURE RC" CHANNEL !!! AND YOU WILL SEE WHY IT IS THE BEST PERFORMING (STOCK) CRAWLER, OUT OF THE BOX !!!! - PERIOD. 💪 GMADE "ROCKS", NOW THAT THEY CAME OUT WITH THIS NEW RC CRAWLER BACK IN DECEMBER 2020 !!!! 🏁 [#☝️] IN THE WORLD !!!!! 🤘

[@MWall711]

Neodymium magnets work well too.

[@RC_Trailblazers]

They do work well. I purchased a gen 8 pack and in the process of a custom build for a trail truck. Works well. Magnets was tough didn't sit low enough for magnets to contact. Using brackets with a rear hinge system works well.

[@terryallen3550]

Hi, we could use some sort of locating pin with the velcro if the body is not aligning every time, just a thought. And thanks for your great efforts in showing your tips. You go to length in detail and camera work brother. :-)

[@GCMRacing1]

Pins yeah! That's a good idea also.. to get it centered, and then have the velcro hold it down. Yeah.

[@paulschryer9571]

- "Greatest Idea" in this comment section, at least it is new to me !! - I have never heard of it before !! 🤔...!??? - Thankyou sooo much !!!!👍

[@emorywright7607]

Nice video, very informative

[@GCMRacing1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ferndogg310]

This is cool. I'll be watching more of your videos.

[@gogotrololo]

this gets the brain juices going for sure!

[@GCMRacing1]

Great! Happy trucking!

[@brianport3691]

A lot of great ideas for sure. I was really hoping to see how you guys came up with mounting the jeep Cherokee hard especially when the 2 front locations can't be used after the hood is cut open.

[@GCMRacing1]

We have a full mount setup for CMAX and SCX already, and you can open the XJ hood. Yes.

[@brianport3691]

@@GCMRacing1 you guys sell a mounting kit for an xj hard body for the scx10.2?

[@CarmineRC]

WHY didn't I watch this BEFORE drilling holes in my Landfreeder body!!!???? 😲 Well, I'm glad I've also got a Vaterra 67 Ford F100 body. I'm trying #5 for SURE! Thank you

[@jamurphy8386]

Carmine Allocca - Because you didn't know this yet! 😜😜 It's all good brother. At this time, you and I have started our first "real Scaler Rig" projects!! Hopefully, someone will step up soon, to help you guys get out of this mess. There's even a couple of RC'ers who've made videos, asking their subs to donate a little money, to help your family get back on your feet again! Some people here are GREAT! Murph

[@OswaldBeef]

Better simple bracket is using Spring Steel banding straps... there's free scraps to be found at your local lumber yard... more ductile... and come in various widths. Heavier but barely.

[@Pedar01]

Awesome! Thanks for the different ideas!!

[@capciphoby7944]

Very nice👌🙏

[@GCMRacing1]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@patrickseals5746]

Great ideas. Thanks.

[@REVAMPtheindustry]

smart.. ive been using velcro on my new bright cause the body needs to come off pretty often, but the brackets seem like the way to go if your willing to take some time taking it on and off

[@JessVideoDude]

Great video, thx for the tips.

[@robertshaw1270]

I put a vaterra blazer body on my scx10 using bent aluminum post, then velcro works nice

[@martinwheat2018]

nice tricks i use velcro

[@u_t_d_s_h-1_a]

Great video. Do you build chassis?

[@GCMRacing1]

Yes sir, gcmracing.ca

[@andrewbright4932]

yup i used 2 simple brakets to mount a hilux body to my scx10 thay work for the new bright mud slinger body that i have customized thay duble as rock sliders

[@scaler4483]

GCMRacing1 where do you get all of your custom body's for the SCX10

[@Traulus83]

well with hard body and pickups its easy.what about the vaterra blazer body?

[@GCMRacing1]

I would add some styrene features into a lexan body and use many of the same tricks. Glue in posts, or slots for clips etc.

[@u_t_d_s_h-1_a]

Did you guys build the chassis of that blue Ford pick up truck?

[@GCMRacing1]

We did build that chassis yes, we have many new chassis now at gcmracing.ca

[@joshgraziosi8159]

Plus one: Scaler 44. I was going to ask the exact same question. I really want a jeep hardbody. Hard to find

[@GCMRacing1]

+Josh Graziosi great hobbies canada, rc mart, and ebay.

[@joshgraziosi8159]

+GCMRacing1 - Scale Truck RC in Canada ...Great, Thanks for the info!

[@jrduenas3678]

What kind of tires are you running on the blue ford?

[@AngryTurds]

[@samrebert6410]

[@GCMRacing1]

Yes. Wire it all through a 6s lipo balance plug. One end on the cabin, one end on the frame, single plug.

[@craigtreeguy]

Thanks !

[@ExtremeRC4x4]

[@Gavins_Crawler]

[@GCMRacing1]
