RC car body post extension

Body post extensions raise an RC car shell to clear larger tyres or a taller chassis, and the stock posts are rarely long enough. A typical extension is a 6 mm diameter tube 30 mm long with a 3.2 mm through bore for the body clip pin, a 12 mm hex base that seats over the original post, and a 3 mm cross hole every 10 mm for clip height adjustment. Printing vertically in PETG or nylon keeps the pin holes round and the post tough enough for crashes.

SpeakCAD builds the extension around your car's actual post diameter and the lift you need, so there is no cutting or shimming a mismatched download. Change the length or hole spacing in a sentence, preview in the browser for free, and download once it fits.

Design an RC body post extension 30 mm tall with a 6 mm outer diameter, a 3.2 mm through bore, a 12 mm hex base 8 mm tall with a 6.2 mm socket to slip over the existing post, and 3 mm cross holes every 10 mm.

Change any number to match what you measured. The AI keeps the rest of the design consistent, and small follow-up edits after a download are free.
