Thank you , I just printed the new turnbuckles, what is the approximate length of screw used in the new turnbuckle to connect to the rod end ?

#35 · October 28, 2024, 9:17 pm

I’ve encountered a problem with the new style turnbuckle. Looks like when the suspention travels it will pull that fastener out. Is there a way to make that a rod end that woudl accept a ball joint connector ?

I did some work in Tinkercad and came up with this, seems like it should work, but can’t test it yet.

#37 · October 29, 2024, 8:41 am

Hello Kevman,

i use this type of rod end with DIN 7991 screw (recommended) or not just with DIN912 screw which is not optimal.

According to your picture the rod is too long. try to use a shorter screw or cut the end.

I wil make a longer type of this rod end and a ball joint type also.

Best regards,

Balázs

Hello! I started to assembly today. Mostly done in one Day. Need to reprint few parts and would like to remake Front shock mount for using bought shocks. Need to be taller and ofsetted to fit shock properly. Also have to remake lower arms to fit turnbuckles and drive shaft parts to make a bit bigger suspension travel

Hi-

where can I buy this metal clutch piece ? Or can you give dimensions of the piece ?

Hello Kevman,

i bought it from ebay:

Brass Coupling Motor Shaft Coupling For RC Boat Model DIY 2mm 3mm 4mm 5mm 6mm

You will need this size: 3mm(or 3.175mm) to 5mm

Well, i remade front suspension mount and today found out, that in 3rd release it is already made 😀 i used rear shock part, which added to front mount piece , same 50mm xD. Also i made rear turnbuckle longer, so i could use 20mm bolt threaded part.

Would offer bit different steering part design, somehow my balljoint falls off everytime. Maybe make steering rod ends look downward to simlify wishbone construction? Will try on 3rd vesion doing that. I wish i had more experience in that, so id make direct steering, placing servo in the middle of the frame and moving bar with bolt (steering bar will have this () type hole and bolt head will push the bar, sliding in that “()” ) sorry for my english 😀

The original version couldn’t print without support, while the new one can print without it.

Time to to print it again… Had to remake the whole thing because i found too many problems with the fitment. And Fusion just wasn’t cooperating, there were just too many triangles and everything had weird dimensions. I remade the gearbox housing from scratch. In the file there is a set of gears below the gearbox which i will test to see if they work better in this gearbox.

Here is the file with the gearbox in the 3mf format:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/w1e9nb712hqcjzh/Open_Differential_v6.3mf/file

I tried this out, love the design, but unfortunately I had a couple of issues. First the main gear, the parts that stick up super thin and I easily broke them during the assembly. The second, it doesn’t run smoothly for me , I assume due to the bearings and housing being printed material it doesnt slide well. I think lube would fix that issue but aside from that the main gear is the issue.

Hi – I have a need for a 308mm wheelbase. Is there an easy way to achieve this by “stacking” parts ?

Made some amateur prototyping for direct steering. Now need to make pulling arms and rocker

Very nice! I look forward to seeing the end result!

I was able to create a mount for my printed bodies yay! Also made a custome middle bracket for a 308 wheelbase

Well, i can say, that my version of servo steering is ready. Add my files too to improve project, maybe someone want to make this type of steering.

I also made wheels, so it can be more offroady (tires from daughters toy 😁clearances came out good

maybe need to remake servo part later to make steering wider.

Cant upload stl files, so if anyone wants, can give link to admin, so he could add it to new version

Hey Guys,

I am very soon gonna create a safe way to share your upgrades/versions! Unfortunately, creating a system which is safe for everyone is much trickier than you just first think of it. Please give me some time, hopefully will be ready in November!

#52 · November 13, 2024, 5:55 pm

Can you provide links to good springs and or shocks you are able to use. MY bodies are heavy and tend to bottom out with some of the springs and shocks I have.

#53 · November 17, 2024, 10:29 am

Hi Kev,

we always buy them from the local shop or from ebay. I would really say if they were special, but they are the most common ones on the market. Recently, we were looking for lighter springs (as our bodies were light), we were successful in the RC shop not far from us. Maybe in the product description there is a note that it is a “stronger” spring? (just guessing)
Really dont know Kev, good luck finding the right ones!!

#54 · November 19, 2024, 3:24 pm

Hi – new problem, I seem to be stripping the Servo arm often. Any ideas on how to make that steering work with the servo arms that come with the servo? They seems to have more “teeth” from the injection molding process.

#55 · November 20, 2024, 7:50 am

Hello Kevman,

Did you secure the arm to the servo wit h screw? I’ve never encountered this issue after tightening it.

You could try printing the arm in ABS instead of PLA. ABS has a higher shrinkage rate, which might make it fit more tightly and securely onto the servo head.

Alternatively, you can try reducing the scale of the part by 1% (so it’s 99% of its original size) to see if that helps.

#56 · November 21, 2024, 3:15 am

Yes I did use the screws to secure the arm. I also printed in in PC blend and annealled the part as well. I will try scaling it down by 1% and see if that works

Thank you!

I finally got my 69 roadrunner mounted to this great chassis. I have to tweak a couple of things, since the wheels in the back are wider, I have to go a little less than 190mm rear track, easy to do since we have so many options with this chassis. I also need to figure out shocks that provide and adequate amount of sag so that it does not sit to high. Love it! I was drifting this thing around the other day. I still need to work on my custom ESC / Receiver /Battery strap as it is a bit too high.

Thanks for the pictures, they look awesome! 😀

I really like the modifications you made to fit this body to the chassis; it’s truly inspiring!
