Hosim / San He / S-Idee / Absima g173 (g171, g172, g174) spare parts

thingiverse

This is a collection of 3d printable replacement parts for the Hosim g173 sand buggy (also branded as San He, S-Idee, or Absima). The four models, g171, g172, g173, g174 are identical up to some cosmetic parts, so it will suit those as well. Not only the spare parts are expensive to buy, but 3d printing offers the possibility to vary colors and even attempt to improve the strength of some parts. The following list is expected to grow as I break more things... - front_chest_cover: 71-014 (reinforced around hinge) - front_shock_bracket: front part in 71-016 (reinforced around hinge) - spring_cylinder: the long hollow cylinder of part 71-040 (with tight tolerances to keep the shaft straight) - bottom_spring_stop: the small washer in 71-040 that maintains the spring on its bottom end - remote_wheel: steering wheel for the remote controller, which flanges on each side - differential_cup, differential_gear (both parts must be printed): replacement for the cup part and associated gears in differentials (71-017), with a different assembly design (reusing the small center screw) to address the weakness of the original cup's shaft - front_drive_shaft: 71-044. There are three versions of the universal joint: one that is compatible with original hex fitting (71-037) and screw (71-055), and two "12_teeth" to be used with the modified hex fitting (hex_12_teeth) which should be stronger. The "m4" version has a larger hole to be used with a m4 screw, easier to find, and hopefully stronger than the original.
