Is there a stronger body mount option?

[beandog]

I have been totally thrilled with my new MT410. It's taken truly massive spills and never broken anything from the kit but a single bent screw...

Except for the body mounts. I've broken six of the posts, I believe, and now I've broken the plastic piece the posts bolt into. I'm years into my Slash 4x4 and I've utterly destroyed two Slash bodies but have had zero problems with the actual mounts.

Is there some aftermarket body mounting system that holds up better?

@beandog the body mount is probably the weakest link on the entire Tekno MT410, luckily they also pretty cheap too.

That said I know guys like @Overkill, @Amateurhour and others are running the Proline Secure-Loc kits. Check out what @Amateurhour did with a set of Arrma body posts and the Proline kit in his build thread here.

Also the bulletproof body post setup that @Slogrits is worth checking out as well.

I feel your pain. I'm running this. Proline thumb lock slash mounts. They line rt up and give a lot more. So far it's lasting twice as long. ?

I like those proline posts, I had them with the Apocalypse body. But now with my new body I'm going to use the stock posts. Hopefully they last a bit longer than mentioned here.
