RC Body Magnet Mount

thingiverse

I wasn't too fond of the idea of gluing or epoxying magnets to the body of my RC so I decided to develop a cleaner, simpler, quicker, less permanent & less destructive way to mount them. Tips: 1.) PRINT @ 100% INFILL 2.) You will need (1) 15mm x 2.5mm round rare earth magnets with a 5mm hole (I bought mine on Amazon and they were advertised as 15x3 but were actually 15 x 2.5 go figure) (1) cup (1) spacer (1) M2 x 8 cap or button head screw for each mount. 3.) Drill a 5/64 or 2mm hole where you want to place a mount 4.) Place a magnet in the cup (MAKE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO POLARITY OF THE SIDE YOU'RE ADDING TOO) otherwise you'll be printing replacement cups!! 5.) Put the M2 x 8 screw through the spacer 6.) Push the screw through your drilled hole 7.) Screw on your magnet And you're done! I used two on each side in the front of my Redcat Gen 8 and left the rear body mounts as hook and loop and I love it. The body stays on even in a roll over yet is way easier to line up, detach and reattach now. The best part is you can use 2,4,6 or 8 or just remove and reapply hook and loop over the tiny holes. NO MESS to scrape off later.
