HB Racing Hot Bodies D817 brushless conversion kit

thingiverse

Hello, as I'm passionate on 3D printing and buggy car I decided to 3D print parts for a brushless conversion of a HB Racing D817 nitro car. You'll find: - battery holder - receiver mount - ESC mount with small wings if you want to add any elastic cords I decided not to 3D print the motor mount since I was not so sure about it's lasting on a race circuit. The servo mount for the stearing can be cut from the original nitro version. Maybe I'll add a 3D printable version later. I tryed it on a race circuit. It's very strong, also if not print at 100% infill. I printed it in ABS but also PLA+ or PETG will be strong enough. TESTED!!! The part to buy for this conversion are: - motor mount. The version I took is the one you can simply find on Amazon or Aliexpress market. I add only one more hole on the chassis for the exernal motor mount, but it was just because I wanted to join races and be as much stable as possibile with a 2200kv 4274 motor. https://www.amazon.com/VGEBY-Mounting-Electric-Brushless-Accessory/dp/B08KS28X8H/ref=sr_1_4?crid=19HURUA6LE2MM&keywords=brushless+motor+mount+rc&qid=1681641816&sprefix=brushless+motor+mount%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-4 - Insert for Battery mount and the ESC mount.

One of the two through screw will be use also to get the Servo in position. Print upside down with no support. - Added Receiver Box (old version removed) Modified so the take as less dust as possibile. Print with support. - Added Receiver Box with Servo mount in one single piece One single piece the maximun strenght and stability. Print with support. I printed all with ABS and PLA+. Infill 60%. Lot's of crash and no brakes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 2023/05/13 - New ESC mount (old version removed) Modified the ESC mount to be easy to install and uninstall the ESC. No more edge and a better switch box tha will keep the switch safer. Also added an half hole at the bottom to allow the use of a cable tie for a quick change without dismounting the support. The cover of the switch box can be print upside down to avoid support. - I also design a cooling fan holder you can find here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6023821 ENJOY ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 2023/07/01 - New ESC mount (old version removed) Reinforced on switch side and reduced the hole for cable tie to have more material and strenght on the base.
