700e Canopy Mount Options??
So i'd like to upgrade the stock canopy mounts to something "better".....it appears there are a couple popular options. The RC Booya rear mounts or the Quick UK magnetic mounts. From trying to do some research it seems like these 2 are for the nitro version only? Something about the version 2 electric canopy being too rounded at the front?? What are guys using these days? I have the blue and white 700e canopy.
Thanks in advance Spence

I had a spare couple of Booya mounts for my 600 and used them on the back
of my 700. I didn't like the lower mounts, so tossed them and fitted the same clamp on the front also used on the 600. Now the canopy is off and on in seconds and sits just as good |

Quick UK magnetic on rear
Stock on front For front load battery setup very fast to remove canopy. No drilling of canopy.

This was originally posted a long time ago..
The keychain has a hole already in the receiver half so all you need do is screw it on a proper length spacer and mount on the frames

Are these the ones your using, http://grandrc.chainreactionweb.com/...ducts_id=50201 and if so they fit the original 700e 3G canopy? Everything I read on them say for nitro. Any other parts needed to install?

That is correct, the nitro ones are good for the 700E.

Am I the only one feeling that the companies which manufacture the upgrades are using our addiction to make a bigger profit on our expense with no proportion to the products they sell?
Come on - 40$ for canopy holders?? I can purchase 10 rounded strong magnets the same size needed for only 1$...maybe I should try and make them myself and then sell them to you guys for 1/2 the price..

Agreed, seemingly overpriced but the magnets are cuped and act as a guide, nice thumbscrew type bits, it all just works together very, very nicely...I felt better about the $$$ spent once I had them in hand and even better once installed and tested.
