Penguin 3500LM Questions

I broke down yesterday and decided to get a Penguin 3500LM from my local source. For now, I intend to use the Penguin with my stock setup -- i.e., the parts that came with my RTR. Questions:

1) How do I install the rear body posts? The stock chassis has an extended plastic section for locking the body posts with retaining clips. Do I need to use two clips (looks ugly)?

2) How do I mount the antenna? Is there a special antenna mount I am missing from my kit?

Thanks!

1) Yes-using 2 body clips per side is the easiest. I've also seen people using the long style clips.
2) Install the 140mm VCS mount as directed but use it to put your antenna in.

It helps to use a couple of O-Rings underneath both clips to keep the body posts from wobbling around.

You may need to chamfer the end of the antenna tube slightly to get into fit into the carbon mount.

www.penguinrc.com has some setup info for the LM if you're interested.
