I'm sure you guys are aware of the issue with the MT410 body posts where if you bash hard they like to crack and snap off. I recently figured out a great way to stop this from happening with very little modification. It also works even better with my personal favorite body for the MT410 - The Proline 2017 Ford F150 Raptor Body.
So step 1 is you cut the fender flares off of the body as well as the lower part of the front bumper. (I only cut off the lower part of the front bumper because it catches on obstacles and tries to cause rips). Cutting off the fender flares allows you to lower the body without the Camber Turnbuckles coming up and hitting the body at full suspension compression.
Step 2 is lower your rear body posts all the way to the top hole, this decreases the leverage placed on them and in my experience makes them never break again.
For the front posts you want to lower them down almost all the way, to the second hole starting from the top. On top of doing this I also reinforced them with E6000, I did a coating of it all the way down to the first hole and inside the first hole. Ever since I did this they stopped breaking completely.
The end result is perfect for everything I want. I have an indestructible body, indestructible body posts, and the body is lowered down as far as you can lower it, which gives me the look that I want and gets rid of the ugly gap between the chassis and the body. Also this body is quite good for self-righting, which is important to me.
