Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a clipless body mounting system and how does it differ from traditional body clips? — A clipless mounting system secures the body shell directly to the chassis without requiring external clips or posts. This design offers several advantages: improved aesthetics with a cleaner appearance, faster body removal for maintenance and upgrades, reduced overall weight, and better structural integrity during aggressive driving. Traditional clip systems can loosen over time and require regular adjustment, whereas clipless systems provide consistent retention.
- Will this body conversion kit work with my existing Rustler body? — Yes, this conversion kit is designed to work with your existing standard Rustler body shell. The kit includes a template to help you accurately mount the clipless latches on your body, making the conversion straightforward. You simply use the template to position the latch mounting points, then install the new body mounts on your Rustler chassis.
- Is this conversion kit suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The kit is designed to be user-friendly, with a clear installation template included to guide you through the process. If you have basic tools (a screwdriver) and a little patience, you can successfully complete this conversion. The comprehensive hardware package means you won't need to source additional parts, and the step-by-step template approach makes the process straightforward even if you've never done a body conversion before.
- How much does the clipless conversion improve performance? — The primary improvements from converting to clipless mounting are practical rather than speed-related. You'll benefit from faster body removal for maintenance, slightly reduced weight, improved access to internal components, and a more professional appearance. The body stays securely mounted during normal driving, so handling characteristics remain consistent with your standard Rustler setup.
- What tools do I need to install this kit? — Installation requires only basic hand tools, primarily a screwdriver suitable for the hardware included in the kit. The comprehensive hardware package included means you won't need to source fasteners elsewhere, making the job straightforward and cost-effective.
- Can I revert to traditional body clips if needed? — While the clipless system is designed as a permanent upgrade, the conversion is not destructive to your chassis. However, converting back would require additional mounting hardware and potentially drilling new holes in your body, so it's best to treat this as a permanent upgrade to your RC car setup.
