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 😀

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!

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!!

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!

Bonjour

Tout d’abord, je tiens à vous féliciter pour votre excellent travail de conception.

Vos modèles de carrosserie de voiture sont magnifique, je viens d’imprimer le modèle de la 406 en 3 parties, la finition est superbe.

Maintenant je vais réaliser le châssis Destiny V3 en ABS, ça va être un vrai régal.

J’ai une idée de création de carrosserie RC depuis plusieurs mois, le modèle serait celui de la DELOREAN DMC 12 du film « retour vers le futur », seriez-vous en mesure de la concevoir.

Merci d’avance et bonne fête de fin d’année

Hello there !

I’m about to finish my chassis and I also bought the 406 body kit.

I was wondering how you managed to print it in 3 pieces as every single part is separted in the archive that I’ve downloaded.

Did you assemble it with a CAO tool before sending it your 3d printer slicer ?

Thank you

#60 · January 18, 2025, 4:46 pm

Hi!

You print them one by one and then glue the pieces together… unfortunately the body kit is not that improved or developed as our latest models (with screws)
you may use office clips to hold the parts together when gluing them..
That is the process we did it.. no CAO tool was applied
