Problem
Changing the body of a 1/10 scale RC car typically requires unscrewing multiple fasteners, which is time‑consuming and can lead to misalignment or damage. This slows down track sessions and makes quick battery or setup changes cumbersome.
Solution
RC Hop Ups provides a CNC‑machined aluminum mounting kit that uses precision‑cut plates and strong neodymium magnets to secure the body to the chassis. The magnetic interface holds the body firmly while allowing instant removal without tools, enabling rapid body swaps, battery access, and setup adjustments. The lightweight aluminum construction maintains chassis rigidity and reduces overall weight. The kit is designed to be universally compatible with common 1/10 electric drift and on‑road chassis, simplifying installation for a wide range of models. By eliminating screws, the system improves reliability and speeds up pit‑stop operations during practice or competition.
Target Audience
Target customers are hobbyists and competitive racers who run 1/10 scale drift or on‑road RC cars and need fast, reliable body changes for tuning, maintenance, or multiple liveries.
