I’m re-posting my question.  Please see the clarification comment.  I appreciate any recommendations/solutions.

I ordered shocks and made sure the spacing between top/bottom holes was 60mm per the build documentation.  I confirmed the shocks really are 60mm when the order arrived.   However, at 60mm when mounted the lower arm is pushed way down.  If I measure the actual distance between the upper shock holder and the lower arm it is much less than 60mm.

Clarification —-  I found four length choices for the REAR suspension support; however, I only find a single choice for the front suspension, which is the source of my problem.  The attached picture shows a 60mm shock installed on the front of my chassis.

 

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Allen,

You meant the front shocks :D, sorry

These aren’t the factory pieces. We created custom shocks for our scale models, so I had to lower the front shocks as much as possible. I couldn’t find any pre-made shocks that fit this lowered size, so I designed my own. Please see the attached picture. For assembly details, check out the YouTube video! 🙂

You can use the spring from your ebay shockabsorber.

So I just downloaded the files for the destiny chassis but I can’t unzip the file. everytime i try it tells me the file is corrupted or incomplete. was wondering if you’d have any tips or tricks to fix this issue?

Hi ellieraven1

I have just checked it. It comes down to me nicely. I zipped it with WinRAR.
If still not working try to download again. If issue presists I really don’t know what the problem could be…

Hi Szilard,

I just installed a different “unzipping” program and it seems to have worked. was trying the 7z app and it was liking it but AukZip worked!

I’m in the process of printing the Destiny chassis for an RC van project.  I printed the tires out of TPU, what make and model of rims can I use?  Or maybe what dimensions if I choose to print my own, which I would love to do?

Hello James,

the tire must compatible with all the tamiya wheels in size with the 12mm Hexagon adapter.

Hello all,

I’ve rolled out my chassis (without body) and it seems that the 540 motor I have is very powerfull and the printed gear cannot handle so much power.

It started to slip and to destroyed the gears.

Does anyone had this issue ?

I reprinted the two gears and changed the parameters in my remote controls (rate and exp) in order to flatten the curve of the motor channel.

But it’s not very reactive now.

I’m thinking about buying metal gears. Can please someone post what is suitable for the printed gear case ?

Thank you for your support.

Regards.

Hello Tpam,

This is the metal differential which fits to the housing and the same bearing:

Metal differential gear kit  HSP/94122/94123/94111/94188

The inlet gears shaft is D5 mm so you have to print the Housing for the smaller bearing, or print the spacer for the bigger bearing (see the attached a picture)

Could you please send a picture about the broken parts ?

Im really intrested, and would like to develop further if possible.

Best regards,

Balázs

Hello,

Here is a picture of the worn parts :

Hello Tpam,

Thank you for the picture!

Did you use any grease?

Which material did you use—PLA or ABS? PLA has a much lower softening temperature.

You might want to try printing it with ABS and applying some grease.

However, I believe a metal part would be the best option.

Best regards
