RC Body Magnet Mount

thingiverse

I wasn't too fond of the idea of gluing magnets to my RC so I decided to develop a cleaner, simpler way to mount them. Tips: 1.) Print at 100% infill 2.) You'll need: (1) 15mm x 2.5mm round rare earth magnets with a 5mm hole (1) cup (1) spacer (1) M2 x 8 cap or button head screw 3.) Drill a 5/64 or 2mm hole where you want to place a mount 4.) Place a magnet in the cup, paying attention to polarity to avoid printing replacement cups 5.) Put the M2 x 8 screw through the spacer and push it through your drilled hole 6.) Screw on your magnet 7.) You're done! I used two magnets on each side of my Redcat Gen 8 and left the rear body mounts as hook and loop. 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 magnets or just remove and reapply hook and loop over the tiny holes without any mess.
