Scx 10iii gladiator rear body hinge

thingiverse

Rear hinge for your gladiator. This is a work in progress. This is by no means a perfect design, but its been working well for me for several months. I tow a trailer with it no problem. I included the low profile bumper that I run too. It has provisions for the standard Amazon style hitch inserts, and it doesn't get hung up on departure like the stock unit. You'll need: two 3mm x 32mm screws for the hinge itself, and two 3mm x 25mm screws to replace the rearmost bed mount screws. the round spacers go between the bed and the hinge, with the screws running through them, and tie the whole assembly together. YOU WILL NEED TO FILE/CLEARANCE YOUR BUMPER POSTS TO CLEAR THE LONGER REAR BED MOUNT SCREWS. I slide the bumper in the bracket first, then use the rear bed screws to make a mark on the post where it needs to be filed. I also put a dab of E6000 glue on the rear body posts before using the stock body pins to attach them, to prevent any rattling. I print mine in hatchbox PLA at 220c, 70c bed, 100% infill.
