Body Mounts

[Erc]

The rear body mount seems to bend and break alot and I was thinking wether or not to make wooden body mounts out of a stronger type of wood. I like to bash a lot more than I like to race and I was wondering if this would be a good idea or not? I know that it is good to have some flex to the mounts but im tired of them bending and breaking.

Have you tried RPM mounts?

[Erc]

Not yet, but wont those bend too?

why wood?

[jrc3]

rpm all the way, and with all body mounts, set the body low. this is better on the mounts and body, it also lowers your center of gravity a bit. i've never broken a single body mount. oh yeah, w/ rpm's you have to replace the shock towers too.

I think its good for the towers to bend...it absorbs the impact saving your more expencive parts such as shocktowers or bulkheads. If your body posts are not broken, i suggest you just you bend them back to normal and keep them. The rpm material is strong, yet it can bend/flex, so that a good body post. If you ever decide to get the ue shock towers, i think you should buy the ue body post as well because you can bend them 90 degrees, 40 times at very cold temps (i think it was like 0 f degree) without them snapping.
