My new body clips -
02-16-2006, 02:15 PM
I was in need of body clips yesterday, and my mom suggested bobby pins, and they worked perfect after taking the little rubber end off. They are cheap(I think she said 100 or so for $1 at the dollar store) and stay on very well, you just have to twist them a little. Here are some pics I took of them on the r/c.

Some guys use paper clips as an alternative to body clips. You just have to be careful because if they flip stright up on the post, the body can still slip over them. That's why the real clips have the bump in the middle of the clip, so it stays flat against the shell.
It's cool that your mom is into RC and thinking outside the box for you.

she just thinks buying the body clips is a waste of my money, which is why she told me to try these.
also about flipping straight up, that is why I have them bent outwards at the end, so that can't happen. except on the front left in the pic, but I noticed that and bent it outwards right after the pic.

When you start crashing on the track, they'll flip stright up. They'll freakin' disappear and you won't be able to figure out how. Racing is like entering the Bermuda Triangle...weird stuff just starts to happen for no reason. It has something to do with the fact that there's 50 other guys watching everything all the time. Like when a wheel comes off, everyone goes OOOOOhhhhhhh. But it's still fun!!!

I am thinking of forming my own body clips out of paper clips, just bending them with a couple pairs of pliers, the big paper clips, not the small ones.

I use a locking body clip on the house transponder when I race. I still lose front body clips. Not that big of a deal.
