LaTrax SST RC Car Rear Bumper

thingiverse

I just got my hands on a brand new Traxxas LaTrax SST RC Truck and immediately spotted the lexan body jutting out past the bumpers, which I know from countless YouTube complaints can lead to cracking over time. To avoid having to shell out $20 for a replacement body, I'm designing extended bumpers that will take the hit and break instead. I plan to attach them with small screws, taking advantage of the fact that both stock bumpers have outboard holes that match up perfectly with the printed ones. This is still a work in progress, but once I've printed it out, I'll post some pictures and share my design for all to see - including the upcoming front bumper version. Here are the print settings I recommend using: * Printer: Hatchbox Delta * Resolution: Opt for anything from low to moderate, but .20mm would be a good choice if you want crisp details. * Infill: 50% should give you a nice balance between weight and durability. * Notes: To get the best results, print with text facing down. You can also choose to make it as heavy-duty as you like - after all, this bumper is designed to break instead of your RC body.
