Tamiya Top Force / Manta Ray / DF01 / Hot Shot / Boomerang Steering Knuckle/Spindle

thingiverse

Front knuckle/steering spindle for a variety of Tamiya 4WD offroad buggies, starting with the Hot Shot/Boomerang/Supershot series of vehicles and carried through the popular DF01 series (Tamiya Top Force / Manta Ray). There are others out on Thingiverse, so I do not claim to be the first to put this out there. Personally, I would not run a 3D printed knuckle for racing as this area is going to see some stress, but if you just want to bash it's probably sufficient, and you'll likely need to print this frequently. Tap the pivot mounts with a M4 tap. You may need to file and/or adjust the bearing area depending on your printer's tolerances. I was requested to post this file, but I have not yet confirmed this version - so I still need to do that. It should be pretty close, but again, this is why I prefer to print first and then post.
