ANKO/Revell RC Muscle Racer AWD Truck Rear Wheel Axel

thingiverse

*** UPDATE *** After testing Revision 1, it was a bit of a flop, redesigned again for ultimate strength. Same print settings, same orientation, just more solid where it really matters. It also turns out that this ANKO brand car, is also branded as a Revell RC Muscle Racer (link to frontline hobbies given below). Backstory: My son got one of these awesome RC cars for his birthday: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/24ghz-remote-control-112-scale-street-tracker-43149698/ https://www.frontlinehobbies.com.au/revell-rc-muscle-racer-hot-rod?gclid=CjwKCAjw1MajBhAcEiwAagW9MQn8DsU9GfEfdvm6L6QRi9azhhRIVtAzC2FmDvTZiuAtLemMUCEGdxoCWGEQAvD_BwE We took it to the basketball courts today and he had a tonne of fun ... all until one of the rear wheels became 'wobbly'. Oh,Ow! I said. It turns out the rear wheel axels are hollow bits of plastic that are very flimsey. In the end, the wheel had snapped clean off the axel. So home we went, and out came the tools and Creo Parametric (Engineering CAD software). I designed this up for *strength* in mind. Print it in the orientation given in the stl file - do NOT print it standing upright, you'll get a really weak component. Please check out the print settings too - Infill (75%), walls (6) etc. These settings give it a very nice and solid build.
