Stronger Steering Knuckle for WLtoys A949/A959/A969/A979

thingiverse

I designed a robust replacement for the steering knuckles after breaking both of them. The new version is significantly sturdier than stock and has yet to show any signs of wear. Every component is slightly thicker, making it much stronger. The left and right knuckles are identical in design, only differing in their orientation. To assemble this part, you will need to reuse the original bearings or bushings from your steering setup. I highly recommend printing with PETG or Nylon as these materials provide a more robust finish. PLA may not be suitable due to its tendency to break under stress. To ensure proper support and prevent warping, use supports during the printing process. I printed mine using the orientation shown in the third photo. If you have any suggestions for additional stronger parts or would like me to implement design changes, please let me know.
