Mini-z Euro Truck Lexan Body Mount System

thingiverse

Some of the guys at the local hobby shop had tooled around with the idea of some Euro Truck Mini-z racing. They got a few of the Golem "flat nose" trucks in to try. I wanted a way to mount the body but not have to use body posts or pins, so this system lets me take it on and off just like a regular Autoscale body. Since then a few of us have purchased the Marka and other "slant nose" or Mack truck styles. Those are listed as Marka fronts. **Update: The front mounts i have version v4 for the Marka and a v4 for the Golem. both have 2mm holes which should fit standard Kyosho Mini-z size screws without cracking (issue with previous versions), i've also trimmed them back a little, my issue with them splitting was the print temperature not the design. Hope this helps. Also there are PN side clips if you use the PN 2.5W chassis, they are basically chopped off a little to clear the battery clips...they can be used on the stock chassis as well if you want to save a little weight. The rear cross braces depend on your chassis setup, the ones listed as SpringFrictionBump is the widest and will fit across a R246 carbon fiber friction plate with oil spring, it and the Stock Spring bump require the body to be cut out a little to allow the "bump" to go through the body. The low bump works decent if you have a low profile friction plate only with no upper spring. If you notice the rear wing i have on mine in the pictures, i'll upload those as "lexan" style wings that also fit regular Autoscale bodies, the ones i use have the holes pre-made for the Audi R8 LMS body which fit well with the trucks. ***a few people have asked, but the pcitured trucks i have a the low profile crossbrace because i don't run a upper spring,it's the only cross brace that doesn't require cutting the back of the body. Feel Free to send me a tip if you like the design :-)
