RC Jeep JK Rear Body Mount

thingiverse

I was asked to explain how I mounted my Jeep JK's body to the rails after showcasing a front motor mount for it. The front section will be attached directly to the front bumper, which is securely fastened to the vehicle's body. 09/15/17: A picture has been added to demonstrate just how much clearance there is under the hood. Initially, the rear section was still in development, but I posted a concept image instead. The basic idea revolves around utilizing existing posts and attaching a small component that can be clipped into the chassis rails. The STL file shared was an initial attempt and not yet accurate in terms of size; it may be necessary to adjust the nozzle direction for optimal results. 09/16/17: A revised version of the mount has been uploaded, incorporating precise measurements based on the holes. The length now requires adjustment. 09/17/17: The final version I've settled on is now available online. Additionally, the Fusion 360 file has been included for reference. 01/04/18: An update has been posted featuring a reinforced version of the mount. This revised design allows for better printing results in PETG material; PLA is insufficient due to its lack of flexibility.
