RC Car Body Magnet Mount

Magnet mount to fit multiple RC car bodies on a single chassis.

• 👇read carefully

  I recreated these magnet mounts to either attach a body without visible fasteners to an existing chassis, or to be able to combine several different bodies on a single chassis and be able to change them according to desire or context.
  I hope RC car users will find them useful.

  The model below was printed in PLA TOUGH+

  - PLA Tough+ offers better flex resistance and is also less brittle than Classic PLA.

   

  You will need to get:
  x1 : Cutter.
  x1 : Pliers.

  x4 : M3x5 Flat Head Cap Screws (FHCS).

  x4 : Countersunk magnets.

  x4 : Round magnets.

  x4 : M3x8 Button Head Cap Screws (BHCS).

  
  x1 : Double-sided adhesive tape.

  or

  x1 : kraftprotz PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU glue

   

• Small guide or advice.

   

• some examples of use:
  If you're starting with a brand new base, you'll need either 4x Countersunk magnets and 4x M3x5 Flat Head Cap Screws (FHCS).
  To get the same result as photo 1, you can also use double-sided adhesive tape or kraftprotz PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU glue and attach 4x round magnets, as shown in photo 2.

  
  ⚠️Pay attention to the magnet orientation.

    

• Personally, I recreated them to be able to add multiple magnetic bodies to a single chassis.
  So I glued the round magnet onto the assembled mount with 2 M3x8 button head screws, with the ball joints at 180°, and I put double-sided adhesive tape on the extension which I shortened with a cutter. Once the settings were correct, I glued the mount part to the shortened extension and put double-sided tape on the extension part and glued them to the hotrod body.
