MST hides the body posts in its Stealth magnetic mount

MST has published an introduction video for the Stealth Anti-Detachment Magnetic Body Mount, an aluminum alloy magnetic mount for RC drift chassis that fixes a shell without body posts or clips showing on the outside. The write-up at ラジコンもんちぃ, posted October 2, says the magnet base floats so it can be set to the angle and curve of the body, and that the mount carries a structure intended to stop the shell detaching in a crash.

For anyone painting polycarbonate, that first claim is the interesting one. Posts are the visual tax on a clean shell: holes cut through the roofline or the deck, a clip catching the eye exactly where a 1:10 body's proportions should read as uninterrupted. A magnet hidden under the body line removes that, and MST's own point of difference here is the floating base — a body is a compound curve, and a flat magnet pad that only meets it at one edge holds badly.

The second claim is the one tracks care about. Magnetic mounts are quick to take off between battery changes, and they are also quick to let go when a chase car finds a wall. MST says the design suppresses that; the post does not describe how the anti-detachment structure works, what magnets it uses, which chassis or post spacing it fits, or what it weighs. No price and no release date are given.
