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 ?

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.

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

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 😀

what is the difference betwen v2.0- rockin arms and the orginal ? they both look the same to me in the slicer.

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:

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 ?
