    Just thought i would share what I did for Magnetic mounts on my Synergy e5 Canopy.

    Dennis put me on to the Protos MaxV2 magnetic mounts. So i dropped into ARKRC and picked up a set.

    The base that mounts to the fame is too long, so I cut off 8mm.

    With a 2.5mm drill bit I drilled down the center till I got to the side hole. That seemed enough for the mounting screw.

    I then mounted it to the frame in the same spot of the synergy ones.....

    Mounting the magnet to the canopy I used a shock piston off a Baja 5b..... the inner hole was the right size for the magnet to sit into and worked as a big washer on the outside..... It was also the right thickness!!

    It worked out to be perfect!!! Not sure if ill put some at the rear of the canopy yet. But I think it would easier to do.

      Sorry I should have been more specific.... It's a 1/5th scale off-road buggy made by HPI.

      The shock piston is a good size!!! I had a couple of spares, so it was easy for me.....
