[Furball_Fidelis]

I've got a few...Brushless E-Revo converted to an E-Slayer, a 2wd Slash VXL, Rustler VXL, Mini Revo VXL, HPI E-10, Tamiya DF-02 Gravel Hound...

[finnrambo]

 you should get the new slash 4x4 and a mamba montser

[Furball_Fidelis]

Haha. I want one of them...convert it to a 1/8 Buggy i've seen people convert the 2wd Slash to a 1/8 buggy..but I see no point.. a 1/8 Buggy NEEDS 4WD...so the Slash 4x4 will be an awesoem platform for making one..as well it uses REVO Diffs..

I have 5 :) I use these pulls on my touring cars, as the clips are so tiny.

i have 3 =( one truggy one 1/10 touring Both resting in peaces and one SAVAGE XL <--- Best Thing I Ever Had

I have an old Dodge Ram nitro truck with reverse gear. Pretty beat up but works fine. I usually use my multitool to pull those clips out as i always have it on hand. This is a good idea though.

[looking4ideas]

the problem with pulling them off with a multi tool is that you can scratch the body. With this you never need an extra tool to take it off. I have done this to all the body clips on my truck.

Your missing the best part, obnoxiously bright orange tubing. You will find it much more difficult to lose your pins in sand/ gravel/ grass.

I used those to shorten my shocks =(

it was before i knew of this but any ways these still work wonders =)

[cokebottle tuque]

Personally I make theses almost exclusively so I don't lose my clips when I need to pull the body off in the middle of the woods. I have never had trouble pulling the pins out with just my fingers, but getting them back in can be finicky.

What about using loops or rings instead? (Something you can get a finger in) L

[looking4ideas]

I have tried those the problem with those is that they don't come all the way down on the body. When Bashing with my Savage they kept on getting caught on stuff and coming off the truck.

[lemonie]

Ah yes. The zip-tie idea is a good one, I might apply it (loops) to something else. L
