Quick Answer

Install the Redcat Racing RER32913 replacement body on your SixtyFour by aligning the magnetic mounts, securing the included magnets, and checking for a snug fit. This guide walks you through each step and common pitfalls.

Why the Magnetic Mount System Matters

The RER32913 body uses magnetic mounts instead of traditional body clips. This makes body removal faster and cleaner, but it also means proper magnet alignment is critical. If the magnets are not seated correctly, the body may shift during driving or fail to stay attached.

The body is pre-finished in light blue with a white top, so you don't need to paint it. However, the magnetic mounts must be installed in the correct orientation to avoid scratching the body or damaging the mounts.

Installation Steps

  1. Remove the Old Body: If replacing an existing body, carefully detach it from the chassis. For magnetic mounts, lift the body straight up to avoid bending the mounts. For clip-on bodies, remove all clips and set them aside. Check that no clips or magnets remain on the chassis before installing the new body.
  2. Prepare the Magnetic Mounts: The RER32913 includes four magnets and corresponding mount cups. Insert each magnet into its cup with the correct polarity so the body snaps onto the chassis. Test the polarity by bringing a magnet near the chassis mount—it should attract, not repel. If the body does not sit flat, one or more magnets may be reversed. Flip them and test again.
  3. Align the Body on the Chassis: Place the body over the chassis, aligning the mount cups with the chassis mount posts. Press down gently until the magnets engage. The body should sit evenly with no gaps between the body and chassis. A common mistake is forcing the body down without aligning the cups, which can scratch the body or misalign the mounts.
  4. Secure and Test Fit: Once the body is attached, gently shake the vehicle to confirm the magnets hold firmly. Drive the vehicle slowly on a flat surface to check for any rattling or shifting. If the body moves, recheck magnet alignment and ensure the cups are fully seated. If the body still shifts, consider adding a small piece of double-sided tape to the chassis posts for extra grip.
