Sinohobby Mini-Q TRQ1 Steering Knuckle

Hi guys, If Thingiverse is as slow for you as it is for me, consider looking for your 3D parts at Cults 3D: https://cults3d.com/en/users/WrenchToDrive/creations. I broke my Mini-Q the first day thanks to being clumsy. Only then did I discover that parts are harder to come by than I thought. Here's a steering knuckle in case you suffer the same fate as me. The bearing cups are a little bit delicate (the web between them) and the inside bearing is a little tighter for no reason I can figure out, so use patience and a gentle touch when installing the bearings. You'll need to sand the posts a little to get a perfect fit. I used a hobby file and it took about 5-10 minutes. I included a version that has built-in supports because they work better than Cura supports. Use whichever you want, but I'd suggest going with the one with supports. Use heavy infill for strength (90%) and 5 extra degrees of heat above your normal profile. My Mini-Q seems to work a lot better running the car on a 1S Lipo than using AAA batteries. The electronics were flaky out of the box running fresh Energizer AAAs, but since I started using the 1S Lipo it hasn't given me any problems. Your mileage may vary. As always, use at your own risk.
