1/10 2WD Torment (2012?): New body mount parts do not match body

[bobmcgill]

Hello!
I purchased some replacement body mount parts for the torment I picked up.

The body mounts are wider than the body holes. I will drill new holes in the body, but does anyone know if this part changed over time?

Thanks!

I can't confirm change, if you purchased used, possibly they used from another model. I noticed that too on one of mine, holes were slightly different.
It didn't matter, due to I upgraded to a Jconcepts body, drilled holes to match.

Yes they did change it a few years ago and didn’t change the part number. It was frustrating. But I chose to drill new holes in the body to match. If you buy a new body it will most likely have the new hole spacing. Here is a picture of what I did.

I ended up using uv curing glue stuff to seal the existing holes and then drilling new ones. The hard part was lining it up because I stripped the paint off the body using finger nail polish. I have put stupid hours into it and making it The Punisher mobile.
