Disc brake set 1 for the Traxxas 1/16 E Revo

thingiverse

I design this disc brake set for my traxxas 1/16 e-revo - it's a cosmetic upgrade, as you can see from the photos. If you'd like to download this file, note that these 3-D printed disc brakes require the RPM axle carriers already installed on your traxxas 1/16 e revo, just like in the photos. The photos will give you an idea of how to prepare them and install them, but I'll walk you through it step-by-step. First, depending on your 3-D printer, you may need to sand down rough edges with a dremel or similar power tool. Next, remove the hex nut from the axle carrier and do a test fit to ensure everything fits as seen in one of the photos. Once the pieces are sanded and test-fitted, assemble the pads onto the discs themselves as shown here in one of the photos. Then, use a small amount of superglue to secure the pads and discs together, letting the glue dry as seen in one of the photos. After that, apply a small amount of hot glue to the discs or axle carriers using a hot glue gun - not too much, since you may need to remove the disc brakes for maintenance or repairs later. Quickly install the disc brakes onto the axle carrier before the glue dries. After the glue is dry, test everything out to ensure the disc brakes are solid on the axle carrier. Finally, put the hex nuts back onto the axle carriers, then put the wheels back on and test the RC vehicle to make sure there are no issues with the disk brakes and everything works smoothly.
