Tamiya TL-01 front upright C-bracket

thingiverse

This is a Tamiya TL-01 front upright C-bracket designed to replace the original part. I have also included versions with 2 degrees of caster and one with a hole in the top of the bracket for a ball joint. Added a 2 degrees of caster version, along with another featuring 4 degrees of caster - albeit marked as experimental due to its unique design requirements. The 4 degrees tilt model boasts a rotation point positioned at the bottom kingpin hole rather than the center between both kingpin holes, ensuring a flat side remains for placement on the build plate. This necessitated shifting the slot for the dog bone slightly off-center to accommodate horizontal movement of the steering knuckle. Please note that printer tolerances are crucial in achieving dimensional accuracy with these designs. They are engineered to provide a tight fit and eliminate the usual Tamiya play. You may need to drill a 3mm hole through the bottom one for the hinge pin, allowing it to move freely, as well as a 5mm drill through the king-pin holes. Some filing or sanding might be necessary to achieve smooth movement, but this will result in significantly less play throughout the suspension compared to the original parts.
