I designed this body post extender for the rear, it should make the rear of the body flush with the center of the shock towers and give an extra 1.5cm of extra space for motor and battery leads. It secures to the existing post with a m2.5x16mm cap screw. I think this actually looks better than the existing configuration, it makes the car seem a bit bigger and more aggressive looking with the raked body. I don't have a 3D printer so I will have it made by JLCPCB and if everything works out I'll upload the file. I'm reluctant to do it now because installation requires cutting 8mm off the top of the existing post basically making it unusable without the extender.

I could test it for you if you want. Small enough print and I might keep using it myself. Asuga should have the same body mounts as my Punisher.

Remember to use it you have to cut 8mm off the top of the rear body post, which is molded into the rear brace so no going back. I made some improvements to the design the original was unnecessarily thick in the center so I made it narrower to use less materiel and lighten it.

EDIT: Also I made the hole for the body clip the same diameter as the front post's and it now has a beveled edge which should make it less of a struggle to get the clip in.

If someone was going to have this made by JLCPCB 3D printing I'd recommend MJF Fusion or JLCPCB Black Resin, both cost around $5 if you use the cheap/slow shipping option. Black resin is more accurate and has a better surface finish MJF fusion is theoretically more UV resistant (it's heat fused nylon powder) though realistically this isn't going to be a problem. Durability/strength is about the same for either.
