Tamiya Blackfoot heavily modified rear body mount

thingiverse

This thing pairs perfectly with my other blackfoot body mount that's been modified to accommodate strut towers. It makes it possible to use an aftermarket body. As for the wing, I'm not entirely sure where it came from, but it was just lying in my tub of parts, so I decided to give it a try. In order to keep the spoiler section stable, I ended up having to create two small aluminum supports that tie into the center differential. When printing the model, I oriented it exactly as I uploaded it, which required a lot of support. To be honest, this orientation isn't ideal for layer strength. After ironing the entire print with an actual iron, I noticed a significant improvement in layer strength. While printing on edge would likely yield even better results, I was concerned that the frame tie-ins might not turn out well.
