* High strength front body mount. Combination of aluminum base with carbon fiber adapter plate give high
strength while maintaining light weight.
* Base mount screws onto chassis. Base mount along with shims set height for adapter plate to fit onto body.
* Body height is adjustable up or down from stock position to fine tune performance using shims. Comes with
5pcs 0.3mm plastic shims included.
* Only the adapter plate is changed when changing body while retaining the same base. Difference adapter
plates are available for wide range of bodies making body changes economical. Adapter plate parts number
is same as Kyosho Auto Scale base part number with CP prefix. ie: CP201 for Ferrari ENZO.
I've often wondered why Kyosho doesn't just use one universal body mount and mold each body to fit rather than having a separate one for each.
Seems like a good idea, but it needs to be economical. I've seen spare plastic Kyosho body mount clips at Kenon for around $3 ea, so this might be a tough sell.
Would it be feasible to change the holes at front to slots to allow fore-aft motion, hence eliminating the need for body-specific adapter plates?
Easy body height adjustment and no chassis hole stripping would be nice plusses though...

But the Kyosho big problem, all the time out of stock, not all body mount in stock, and some body mount never back in stock.
exellent idea philip, cant wait to get my hands on the enzo one

I tried to design something like this a long time ago...
This will not work with ALL bodies, at least not with out altering it some what for some bodies.
It is not just the location of the nose mount hole. There are too many variations in the opening size on the bodies... at least there use to be... maybe all the newer bodies are closer to being a similar size.
