ROC Hobbies Willys Body Magnet Mounts by TwIzTuD

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

I printed at 100% Infill to make the mount super solid.
NO Drilling required.
(8) M3-16mm Socket Head Screws needed for securing mount.
BOTTOM and MIDDLE pieces clamp around the rear body frame between the rear shocks.
The TOP piece secures to the 4 mounts that are on the body from the factory.
I strongly suggest pre tapping each hole before final installation. Simply thread in one of the M3-16mm screws into all mounts / holes. Thread slowly so as not to strip out the holes. Don't overtighten. Screws will pull and hold tightly,
I used a small amount of Clear Gorilla Glue spread out in recessed cavity with a cue tip. Clamp the magnet in place for proper bond.
I mark my magnets before I glue them so I know which side faces down. If you don't glue them in the right direction they won't work.
The Magnets my mounts were designed around are : Mag-Mate CMP011515P1N42 Rare Earth Magnet Material - 96Lb - Sintered
This set of magnets provides a strong hold between the body and the frame eliminating the need for the body pins entirely. Make sure to carry your Willys Jeep with care. My design allows for the magnets to keep body and frame intact as much as possible while driving. The magnet bond shouldn't be relied on for carrying the RC. Support the RC from the bottom while carrying it. Should you carry it by holding the sides the body and frame can come loose and possibly cause damage to your RC
