Technical Performance
The DURATRAX Nylon Body Post represents a straightforward yet essential component in RC car construction and maintenance. Constructed from high-quality nylon material, these posts deliver the strength and durability needed to support your RC body shell whilst keeping your vehicle as lightweight as possible. The 2-inch length is a proven dimension that works effectively with most standard RC car designs, providing adequate spacing between your body and chassis whilst maintaining proper proportions and weight distribution. The nylon material has been selected specifically because it resists cracking and splitting under the stresses of competitive driving, jumping, and bashng, whilst remaining easy to work with for installation and adjustment. These body posts are an absolute necessity for anyone running an RC car with a body shell, and maintaining spare posts ensures you're never left unable to compete or practise due to component failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are body posts used for in RC cars? — Body posts are the vertical support structures that mount your RC body shell to your chassis. They hold the body in place whilst allowing enough clearance for your suspension to move freely during jumps, landing, and cornering. Without proper body posts, your shell would contact the chassis and suspension components, limiting movement and potentially causing damage.
- Are these body posts compatible with my RC car? — The 2-inch height is a standard specification used across many popular RC car models. However, compatibility depends on your specific vehicle's design and mounting system. If you're unsure, check your RC car's manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm the correct body post height for your model.
- Why buy a pack of two? — Most RC cars with bodies use a dual body post setup, with one post at the front and one at the rear of the vehicle. Purchasing a pack of two ensures you have matched posts for proper body alignment. Additionally, having spare posts means you're prepared for component wear or damage without needing to reorder.
- Can I use these posts on different RC car brands? — The DURATRAX Nylon Body Post Z-DTXC2612 is designed as a universal replacement component suitable for various RC car platforms. However, you should verify compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchasing. The 2-inch height is a standard measurement, but mounting systems vary between manufacturers.
- How do I install these body posts? — Installation typically involves removing your existing body posts by unbolting them from your chassis and body shell, then installing the new DURATRAX posts in the same location. Most RC cars use simple bolt-through mounting systems, making replacement straightforward. Consult your vehicle's manual for specific installation instructions.
- Are nylon body posts better than other materials? — Nylon body posts offer an excellent balance of durability, weight savings, and cost-effectiveness. They resist cracking under stress better than some brittle plastics, whilst remaining lighter than metal alternatives. For most RC enthusiasts in the UK, nylon posts provide the ideal combination of performance and value.
