Redcat Caldera Axle Hub

thingiverse

This is an axle hub I created for one of my RC cars, a Redcat Caldera XB 10E. I'm unsure if this will fit any other vehicles, but if they do, please share that information in the comments. ***THIS PART MUST BE PRINTED WITH A STRONG MATERIAL!!!*** I used ABS when printing this due to its ability to be acetone smoothed and has the added benefit of being able to be acetoned back together if it breaks. I'm unaware of any other filaments that would be able to withstand the abuse this part takes. In order to thread screws into the piece, ensure the entire part, especially areas around screw holes, are completely acetoned to eliminate delamination in those areas. There are right and left pieces, so make sure you put the correct one on the right side. EDIT 2019: I have since printed this part in PETG and the results are much better than any ABS print I've done. This piece is wicked strong, and I've used it in the sand and through rough terrain on 3S power with no issues whatsoever. I almost forget sometimes that it's a 3D printed piece and not a direct replacement from Redcat!
