In addition to driving skill and high-performance, a well-prepared car is vital to achieving great results not only at club races but also at international races. All top racers use a middle body post to help keep the body secured to the car, thus increasing stability, traction, downforce, and steering. The middle body post also helps to prevent body deformation during refueling.
Follow these simple steps to mount the middle body post.

6) Find the place where the body post should go through the body and make the hole in the body.
Check that the distance between the body mount and body window is correct. If the body mount is too low, the body will deform at that point; if the body mount is too high, it will push up against the body. You can easily adjust the body mount height by pin location.
