I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago asking about mounting /lowering Tyco/AFX bodies. People gave a lot of innovative ideas. I tried a couple especially Hilltops mounting system. I'm just not handy enough to make it work for me. But Hellonwheels8 has little mounting pegs that fit AFX/G+ narrow and G3. They glue to the body, can be ground down to fit and pop right into the frame slots. Beautiful. Low tech, low cost, and even the "unhandy" (like me) can get great results. Oh and importantly they are low center of gravity and light weight. I'm going to do my fleet of AFX/Tyco. Don't flame me pix next week. mj

That is good information to know. Hellonwheels8 has lots of cool stuff. Have not bought anything from her yet. I am broke right now. I like her AFX Drag bodies and other bodies also.

Can't wait to see pics...posting them here I hope!

There are things that aren't listed on the site........ like the body mounts.
I'm putting some on a Tyco 908 as we speak. mj

You can reach Helen at Hellonwheels8@cinci.rr.com and she is a great gal to deal with. In addition to the Mounts CL is talking about I have also bought regular M/T mounts from her and they also work great.

Lately I have gotten a few "Master Modeler" Kits from Helen. Basicly the body has no mounts in it but included in the kit are plates for mounting to Tyco Pan, A/FX and SG+ Indy chassis. Allows me to set the body as I like on whichever chassis I choose. Helen and Bill do fantastic work, I have prob'ly two dozen bodies from them and have been to their shop. Great people.

I'm going to post some pix of the mounting system that i am using. Would you guys (if you have some) mind posting the M/T and Master Model mounting system so I (and others) can see them? I'd be much obliged. mj
