Kyosho IF278 Body Mount Set MP9 Readyset

This is the body mount set for the Kyosho Inferno MP9 Readyset.

The body mounts are the posts the body shell sits on and is pinned to. On a 1/8 scale buggy they do more work than they look like they do, because the body is large, it catches a lot of air at speed, and every rollover and cartwheel loads the mounts directly. They are among the parts most likely to snap in a heavy crash, and a broken mount usually means the body flaps loose for the rest of the run.

Mount height and position also determine how the body sits on the chassis. A shell mounted too high or sitting crooked changes airflow over it and looks wrong, and a body that is not properly located can rub on the tires at full suspension compression.

Supplied as a set, so it rebuilds the mounting rather than patching one post. This is the Readyset version of the MP9 specifically. Note that Kyosho has since revised this part as IF278B.
