Redcat Gen8 Scout II Upgrade Series - Body Mounting Tips for Stock Velcro Setup

The RedCat body mounting system is a good idea, but the execution with the velcro left a little to be desired.

Here are some issues that I had.

Dropping the body straight on never worked well. The front just wouldn't stick.

This is the type of misalignment you get when you drop it straight on from the top

The secret to getting it mounted on correctly was to mount the front first, and then drop the back on.

Another issue is the side trim on the body prevents the body from mounting all the way down. It hits up against the sliders preventing the body from going down a bit more snugly.

This is something I'll address by trimming the sides, but I'm reluctant to do it until I get my magnets in. I'll be swapping out to magnets. It's the way to go.
