Who makes the best body clips?

I'm looking for tough, high-quality body clips. Thanks.

Funny, you asked. Recently, I ordered like three different kinds, all of the bent style to try a few. And as dumb as I am, I cannot find them right now, so I’m not very helpful! Definitely the bent ones though… once you go bent, you don’t go back.
Remember, a good pin for a 10th scale carpet buggy is different than a good pin for a DBXL too. The beefy ones won’t fit through the holes on the small cars.

I spoke with him in private via personal email...

That’s unfortunate. I was really hoping to purchase some / try them out.

These are easy on my fingers. Also available in plastic.

I like the ones with the pull tab.
Something like this.....I have better ones, but can't recall where I got them from. I got this set....not bad, but there are better ones out there.

IMO the best clips are the ones you don’t lose. We used to take a piece of orange nitro fuel tube, a clip and a zip tie. Same concept as above but they really held up well and I never lost one.

How do these work

@ilikehosewater made the ones I was talking about. You squeeze where the ball is, and the two tips go into the holes. The friction keeps them laying against the body. Sweet concept, but sounds like we need somebody else to make them

Yup, I install those on all my rigs now. Love the tether holder!

I've started using this type cuz it seems like I rip the rubber arrma ones a lot. I've now been replacing the cheapo thin cable they come with w/ steel fishing leaders. Really easy to pull em out. Always with the bent clips tho, just buy like 100 of em cuz they get bent, twisted, stretched etc

Looks like a good approach. The rubber clips don't last a minute for me either unless I pull the clips out with a tool so I'm not pulling on the rubber. I keep the end of a bamboo chop stick in my pocket I usually use to help pull them out anyway. Those metal HR racing ones might work out. I was going to try magnets and velcro on my recent Typhon build, but they already have holes in the clear body so I didn't bother. Maybe next time.
