Diecast Masters 49X upgrade

The Servo horn fits a standard servo, I used a tower pro 996. I fits pretty tight so a little force is needed to push it on the first time. I print this at 100% infill because of the stress it's under. The control arm might need the bottom smoothed up to work really smooth I used 100% infill again because of the stress here. The Axle assembly tightens up some of the slop in the mounting holes and the control arm, smoothing up the print will help it work smoother. If you use a 3mm rod and tap it then it helps to run a 3mm drill bit thru the axle hole just to smooth it up,it's a really tight fit so it needs tapped in place. If you use 3mm threaded rod or 3mmx35mm screw or it fits looser so it's easier to get in. I remixed the wheel by Quincy88 you can find it here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3429403. I enlarged it to fit the 49X tire and reinforced the back and closed up the axle hole to 3mm. I used the bushings from a WPL plastic axle housing and the axle shaft.The bushings and bearings are 3mmx6mmx2.5mm thick There is a bushing/bearing recess in the front and back of the wheel.
