The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Precision Body Mounting for Maximum Consistency! A perfectly mounted body isn't just about aesthetics; it's a critical component of your car's handling. The Knife Edge Reamer by Rad Body is, simply put, the sharpest, longest-lasting, and best reamer you will ever own. At Hobby Hideaway, we consider this an absolute must-have pit tool for any serious builder. Whether you are mounting a fresh lexan shell for your 1/28 scale chassis or prepping a new body for the track, this tool delivers the exact precision required for a flawless fit.
Fine Control for the Perfect Fit Drilling holes in a fresh, expensive body shell can be nerve-wracking, and standard drills can easily catch, tear, or crack the material. This reamer features a wide-angle, long-cone design that allows for incredibly fine control over your hole sizing. By shaving material away gradually, it leaves a perfectly round, smooth edge that won't compromise the structural integrity of your shell.
Built-In Precision To take the guesswork out of your build, Rad Body has integrated laser-etched diameters directly on the inside of the blade. This means you can accurately size your body post holes to the exact millimeter without constantly stopping to measure. It is the ultimate tool for ensuring your body sits perfectly square on your chassis every single time.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Premium Quality: Engineered by Rad Body to be the sharpest and most durable reamer in your pit box.
Fine Control Design: Features a wide-angle, long-cone profile for gradual, ultra-precise hole sizing without tearing.
Integrated Measurements: Convenient laser-etched diameter markings on the inside of the blade prevent over-sizing.
Essential Pit Tool: Perfect for accurately mounting bodies across all scales, preventing cracking or uneven fits.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: To get the absolute best handling out of your chassis, your body needs to be mounted perfectly level and free of any wheel rub. Always ream your holes slightly smaller than you think you need, and test-fit frequently. If your wheels rub against the inside of the body during suspension compression or tight corners, it acts like a brake and can completely unsettle your car. A perfectly mounted, friction-free body ensures smooth, predictable handling, giving you the rock-solid stability you need to cross the finish line without a crash!
