hide Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Lightly put some blu tac on the body posts, then put the body over them and onto the tac, it should mark out the posts. Then mark with a marker and drill them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostlyRock Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Lightly put some blu tac on the body posts, then put the body over them and onto the tac, it should mark out the posts. Then mark with a marker and drill them out. I usually do it the other way round if I forget. Turn the shell upside down, put the chassis in, note roughly where the post are, remove chassis, stick blu tack where the posts were, put chassis back in and press down. You have an imprint in the blu tack where the posts go. Just put your reamer through the blu tack. Simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Donalds Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 These will help you mark where to drill the holes for the posts. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Check the body first to see if it has any dimple marks on it, most HPI shells do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turb() Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Also it doesnt usually matter if the holes are not perfect as body posts have got some flex in them. It just makes it more difficult to fit the shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
