Hello new improvement are here.

We’ll be adding these updates to the download folder soon.

First up is a fully 3D-printed shock absorber designed to be assembled with a purchased spring.

The inner diameter of the spring is 12-14 mm

A little nut need to be glued to the base part after it was snapped to the shaft.

Adjustable connecting part linking the front and rear of the chassis,

with a wheelbase range of 261-273 mm,  and a larger option of 273-285 mm.

I believe this enhances the chassis’s versatility and allows the connecting element to be used with other cars.

Adjustable steering joint for setting the wheels to either toe-in or toe-out alignment.

The two parts are connected using a DIN913 hex socket set screw with a flat point, size M3x8-16 mm

You also made some improvements to the bumper! 🙂

I designed mine a bit differently

I’ve already designed many versions of this bracket.

This one will require a bit more assembly but will be stronger.

With this modification, the upper arm will be much easier to produce—no more cutting of threaded rods!

It was a mistake not to use this from the beginning.

Only a DIN912 M3 bolt is needed to connect the two parts.

I’m looking for a way to mount the bodies designed for this chassis ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4892947 ) to the Destiny, any ideas ? I have several bodies from Cults (https://cults3d.com/en/users/CarPrint/3d-models)  which are amazing, but the Dukedoks chassis is not durable and would love to try this one out.  I made a custom brace for those bodies here (https://ibb.co/D8gfdDJ)

Would love to hear some ideas, I can try to design something , but don’t know where to begin.

Hello Kevman,

Very interesting what you do 🙂

I have some ideas for the front mounting of the body:

1.) You could design the same clamp as ours, ,if it fits in height

2.) You can try to mount our bracket to yours. Need to align the holes on your bracket.

3.) If the height not enough, you could try to design something like this.

4.) If our companion piece bracket (which goes to the body) fits into the two cone, you can use our system.

Our rear mounting is at the roof of the car. I think it can be applied without any difficulty. As far as I know, he’s not fixing the body at the roof.

In this video you can learn our fixing method (with 2-2 brackets and magnets):

at 35:34 the front brackets

at 38:11 the rear brackets

If you find a solution please share with us 🙂

Best regards,

Balázs

Thank you for the ideas and response. I spoke to the designer on Cults and he mentioned that he tried to get your permission to use your chassis’s to design his bodies, but he was not able to , would you consider it ? It would be amazing, he is CarPrint on Cults. here are some of his amazing bodies that I have printed.

Is there a way to use Tamiya style Turnbuckles for the front and rear?  I have an abundance of those laying around. If not where are you sourcing the threaded rod for the turnbuckle in those sizes ?

Where are the STL for these files?

Hello Kevman,

I will upload the new FILES this weekend. The threaded rods are cutted from 1 meter rod, which you can buy in a hardware store.

The new one with bolt will be much easier and better solution.

You can try the Tamiya turnbuckles i not tried them yet.

my frankenstein, I have adapted your drive unit and rear to the dukedok’s chassis! Still need the turnbuckles and dogbones but this is looking great.
