Sinohobby Mini-Q TRQ1 Steering Knuckle

I destroyed my Mini-Q within a day due to my carelessness. It wasn't until then that I discovered parts are scarce than I had anticipated. Here's a steering knuckle in case you experience the same misfortune as me. The bearing cups are somewhat fragile (the web between them) and the inner bearing is tighter than necessary, with no clear reason why, so be patient and gentle when installing the bearings. You'll need to lightly sand the posts to achieve a perfect fit. I used a hobby file and it took around 5-10 minutes. I've included an alternative version with built-in supports because they work better than Cura supports. Use whichever one you prefer, but I recommend going with the supported design. Use dense infill for added strength (90%) and 5 extra degrees of heat above your normal profile. My Mini-Q performs significantly better when running on a 1S Lipo compared to using AAA batteries. The electronics were problematic right out of the box when I used fresh Energizer AAAs, but since switching to the 1S Lipo, it hasn't given me any issues. Your experience may vary. Remember, use at your own risk. Wrench or wrench – which comes first?
