I just put a bright light under the car, seit the body in place and just make a mark where the body post is. This method(amongst others)has worked perfectly for 30 years. The RC industry is chock full of needless tools and hop ups.
Hi, it is not compatible with nitro 200mm body and chassis as the post are usually vertical for this class. Do stay Tune to our channel and social media for more updates.
How you can align the touring body right if your front body post is that high? since your last part of the video is not showing the details of it so would love to know how this can be done, otherwise, this device is meaningless if it just dips the same spot as the top of the body post does.
Hi Reaper, the rear post was aligned without the need for any involvement of the front post and since it is a Horizontal rear post, meaning it is almost parallel to the ground. Once rear is mounted, that point acts as a rotational anchor point for the front, and that would result in the same rotational placement. Moreover, there are also some freeplay from the body post pin holes, so precise fit will be guaranteed. Rest assure that this tracer tool is carefully designed with many factors considered and most important take is user friendly to use and precision and repeatable results..
Even with Clear body, it is a challenge for most ppl to get it correctly and precisely and repeatedly. With this system, it eliminates the guesswork. Not forgetting that all prepainted or professionally custom painted body shells does not comes with holes reamed. You can now confidently order custom painted bodies from anywhere in the world and have the holes reamed yourself when you receive the bodies.
Do you have to have the wing mounted in order for you to use it? Also, some people mount there bodies more forward or back depending on what body they are using. If someone wanted to mount their body 3mm more forward than neutral, now would they do that with this?
Yes, the wing has to be mounted prior to locating the rear holes. The wing height is by rule has to be lower than the body for Touring Car, so we usually would set it at 114mm since we would always run the body height at the lowest possible 115mm.
@@raceformrc28 some people mount their bodies more forward or back depending on what body they are using or what surface they run on. Is there a way to mount your body 3mm more forward than neutral with this?
@@raceformrc28 Can you explain how? I had the same question in my head. Your front body mounting system is fixed. In order to move it forward or backwards, one must remove it from the posts and push it around by hand, eliminating all the benefits.
@@turtletrading4207 take a look at video timeline @ 5.30. At this point, only the rear holes are reamed. At this point, you decide what is the forward position you desired by sliding the body forward or backwards, and fix the rear pin back to the post. Then follow thru the rest of the video will teach you how to correctly locate the front 2 holes. It is a brand new method of getting the 4 holes correctly and we are sure this method totally eliminates all the guesswork, especially when you are switching from different bodies or chassis. Pretty sure with the old school method, once you have a new model of body, any one will have difficulty locating the holes all over again.
In the history of RC, there have been some really bad and/or worthless products. While this isn't the worst, there could be a debate on putting this in the top 20.
Our products have went thru many round of testing and tons of Proof of concept. Since the launch of this product, there are only good feedbacks from actual users that had purchased and used the tracer. Do feel free to contact us if you have faced any issues with this tracer and we will provide our best possible assistance.

When will it be available to buy?
Hi Edward, it is available at www.raceformrc.com/collections/on-road/products/1-10-on-road-pro-bodypost-lazer-tracer-horizontal-rear-body-post-system
Hi, is this compatible with 1/10th nitro 200mm ?

In addition to checking the height of the wing, can it also check the ROAR-legal height of the body?

Soo, no one else marks the body hole position on the outside when the shell is still clear then?

@@Kobiwan73 with our system, you can mount at any forward or rearward position. This is the basic requirement during our product development.
