Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the magnetic body mount work with my SCX24 Chevy C10? — Yes, this mount is specifically designed for the Axial SCX24 Chevy C10. It's intended for this platform and replaces your existing velcro body fixings by using the long bolts and nuts to secure magnets to the mounting platform.
- How do I install the magnetic body mount? — Installation is straightforward. First, fix two of the magnets in place on the mounting platform using the provided long bolts and nuts, replacing the stock posts. Then, attach the matching magnets to your body either by bolting them on using the provided bolt, or by gluing them in place if you prefer not to drill holes in your body shell.
- Do I have to drill holes in my body to use this mount? — No, you have the option to glue the magnets directly to your body without making any holes. This is particularly useful if you want to preserve your body shell or if you're using a valuable or rare body shell that you don't want to modify.
- How strong is the magnetic hold? — Once fitted, the system provides a good, secure hold to the shell that's significantly more reliable than worn-out velcro. The magnetic connection won't degrade over time like adhesive-backed velcro does, so it will maintain its grip indefinitely with proper care.
- Will this make my RC car look better? — Absolutely. The magnetic mounting system eliminates the need for visible velcro straps, creating a much cleaner, more scale-accurate appearance that will significantly improve the overall look of your SCX24 Chevy C10 compared to the stock setup.
- Can I remove the body easily with magnetic mounts? — Yes, one of the advantages of this system is that your body can be easily removed and reattached as needed for maintenance, cleaning, repairs, or customisation, without any of the struggle associated with deteriorating velcro.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, installation is simple enough for beginners, though basic tools (screwdriver, spanner or socket set) will be needed. The process is more straightforward than many RC upgrades, making it an ideal first modification for someone looking to improve their SCX24.
- What is the difference between this and stock velcro fixing? — The stock velcro fixing loses its grip over time as the adhesive deteriorates, and it creates a visually bulky appearance. The magnetic system never loses its holding power, looks cleaner and more professional, and is easier to use for repeated body removal and installation.
