Arrma Outcast/Kraton 4S Wheelie Bar and Wing (Bash bar)

thingiverse

Hi guys, This wheelie bar and wing replacement is designed for the Arrma Outcast 4S. The wheelie bar fits into the higher location on the Outcast, whereas it should fit on the Kraton as well. However, if you've broken your Kraton wheelie bar, this won't solve your problem. Note: There are captive nuts inside the wing mount that can be lost easily. I didn't notice them right away and ended up losing one myself. Since I had spares, it wasn't a major issue for me, but you might not have extras on hand. The wing isn't actually a wing; I call it a "Bash Bar." My Outcast's original wing took a beating from day one, so I decided to create a sacrificial part that doesn't attempt to mimic the real thing. The outcome will depend on how well these parts hold up in use. I made these parts out of Solutech flexible filament (TPU) and they seem pretty tough right off the printer. The wheelie bar is slightly more flexible than I'd like, but I'm hoping that makes it durable in crashes. To test their durability, I beat on them with my hands followed by a hammer, and they're surprisingly resilient. I printed the wheelie bar with 90% infill and the Bash Bar with lower (20%) infill because I wasn't sure how they'd fit or work together. The Bash Bar might not last long due to its low infill, but it takes a lot of plastic to make it with high infill. As more information becomes available on what lasts and what doesn't, I'll update this post. Use these parts at your own risk since they're designed for high-impact applications. If they fail sooner than expected, damage to other components may result. I don't have the resources to confirm or deny their strength, but running these parts is likely better than running nothing in their place. Choose wisely: wrench to drive or drive to wrench?
