Technical Performance
The RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Aluminium Side Body Posts represent the pinnacle of precision engineering for scale RC crawlers. Machined from solid billet aluminium and finished with a professional black anodised coating, these posts deliver both aesthetic appeal and functional reliability. The anti-rotation design is a crucial engineering feature that prevents the common problem of body posts gradually twisting during aggressive off-road use, which can lead to misaligned bodies and poor handling characteristics. The two different bar lengths (long at 135mm and short at 71.86mm) provide builders with the flexibility to achieve the exact scaling and body positioning they desire across different Trail Finder 2 configurations. With a combined weight of just 27.5 grams, these posts maintain the lightweight philosophy essential for proper suspension performance and battery efficiency. The 4mm outer diameter ensures a solid, secure fit in the body posts, while the anodised finish ensures these components will withstand the rigorous demands of rock crawling, water crossings, and extended outdoor use without degradation. These are genuine RC4WD parts, not cheap imitations, and the precision manufacturing guarantees that every set will fit perfectly with zero interference or adjustment required.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the RC4WD Z-S1882 side body posts fit my RC4WD Trail Finder 2? — Yes, these posts are specifically engineered for Trail Finder 2 variants including both standard and LWB (Long Wheelbase) configurations. They are compatible with Trail Finder 2 RTR models and truck kits featuring Mojave II bodies. If you have a Trail Finder 2 that isn't listed in the compatibility section, we recommend contacting our team at RC Model Shop to verify fitment before ordering.
- What makes aluminium body posts better than plastic? — Aluminium offers superior durability and rigidity compared to plastic alternatives, providing better long-term reliability and a more professional appearance that suits scale crawler builds. The billet aluminium used in these RC4WD posts is precision-machined to exact specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and eliminating the tolerance issues that sometimes occur with moulded plastic components.
- Do I need any tools to install these side body posts? — Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic hand tools that most RC enthusiasts already have. The anti-rotation design means the posts will fit securely without additional modifications, making this a quick and easy upgrade even for builders new to RC truck customisation.
- What does anti-rotation design mean? — The anti-rotation feature prevents the body posts from twisting or spinning inside the body post holes during use, which can happen with standard smooth posts over time due to vibration and cornering forces. This keeps your body perfectly aligned with the chassis, maintaining both the aesthetic appearance and the predictable handling characteristics of your scale crawler.
- Are these posts compatible with other Trail Finder models? — These posts are specifically designed for Trail Finder 2 vehicles. Earlier Trail Finder 1 models may have different body post configurations, so we recommend confirming compatibility with our customer service team before purchasing if you have an original Trail Finder.
- Why is the black anodised finish important? — The anodised coating provides corrosion resistance that protects the aluminium from oxidation, dirt accumulation, and weather damage. This is especially important for RC vehicles used in the UK where damp conditions and muddy terrain are common, ensuring your investment remains in pristine condition for years to come.
