Stronger Parts for Chassis 1/10 Adaptable

thingiverse

Loved dukedoks design but was having issues keeping some parts together with my brushless setup. I have made a few changes that improve how well this car stays together at speed. The first change is with the front hubs, I had issues where the upper and lower suspension arms screwed into the plastic. The screws kept pulling out so I added spots for m3 nuts on the inside of the hub. So far this hasn't failed me yet and allows the front to still roll and turn without issue. Next is the front axle, again where the wheel screwed into the plastic. On a fast turn I would see my wheels go flying off so I added another indent for an m3 nut. I use a bit longer of an m3 screw so it also anchors into the plastic of the axle. So far this has held up find since there is no real power being put down up front. The rear wheels and hubs were also falling off upon acceleration or hard stops so I added an indent for an m3 nut on the inside of the rear hub, then added a spot for an m3x10 screw to go through the hub and into the axle. This anchor the hub to the axle and the wheel to the hub. So far this hasn't failed but if you're running a powerful motor I would recommend a touch of blue loctite on the screw for the wheels. As previously state the new hubs have holes through them so you can anchor it to the axle, I also made hole in the axle to allow for this so you will need to print the new axle with the new hubs. I have also included a single chassis base for those of you with large printers. Hopefully this improves the strength of the car for everyone and allows you to enjoy this awesome model at all power levels!
