AH, body post markers.

It begs the question: "What is a body post"?



If your building an R/C car or something similar they are used to locate
the points you need to drill holes for the pins that attach the body
shell to the chassis. The body posts ARE the pins that attach to the
chassis and go through those holes.
Remember the old hood pins used on race cars? Scale them down and you
have an idea what a body post looks like.
On an R/C car there are usually 4 that retain the body and others for
add-ons.
