Abstract: An electrical power tap connector for a model vehicle is provided including a first power tap housing. The first power tap housing contains a power tap terminal configured to electrically couple with a connector terminal of an electrical connector. The power tap connector also includes a second power tap housing releasably securable to the first power tap housing and a releasable locking mechanism configured to physically secure the power tap connector to the electrical connector. Wherein the power tap terminal is configured to electrically couple with the connector terminal via a non-mating end of the electrical connector.

Abstract: A model vehicle comprising a chassis, body and a body mounting system, and a body mounting system for a model vehicle are provided. The body mounting system includes a first mount pivotally connected to one end of the model vehicle body and a second mount connected to the other end of the model vehicle body located opposite to the first end. The first mount releasably couples the one end of the model vehicle body to the model vehicle chassis in a first direction. In addition, the second end of the model vehicle body is rotated about the pivotal connection and the second mount releasably couples the other end of the model vehicle body to the model vehicle chassis in a second direction.
