Traxxas Slash 2wd Wheelie Bar
thingiverse
This is a simple wheelie bar I designed for my Traxxas Slash 2wd VXL, as it was spending far too much time on it's roof! In addition to the printed parts you will need the following parts - 2x 625 bearings 2x M5x20 countersunk head bolts 2x BS210 O-rings 4x 4.8mm wide cable ties/zip ties/zap straps/whatever other name for these that floats your boat The wheels are sized to be a tight press fit onto the bearings. Once the bearings are in place, snap an O-ring into the groove on the outside of the wheel and bolt them in place. Then just cable tie the whole assembly to the rear bumper of the Slash. The pictures should show everything you need. I haven't tested this properly yet, but I can't see any reason why it won't work. I'll update this after I've given the Slash another thrashing. UPDATE - Took the Slash to my local BMX track today and had some fun. Did a few jumps, took a few tumbles, and nothing broke! The downside is it was wet and I had trouble putting the power down. I still managed a couple of wheelies, and only had one flip, so the jury is still out on effectiveness of the bar. Seems tough enough, though... UPDATE 2 - Well, yesterday I took the Slash to a local skate park and gave it a good bashing. The wheelie bar did not survive. Both of the wheels smashed landing big jumps, although the frame of the wheelie bar was fine. Looks like tougher wheels are in order.
