Traxxas Slash Rear Bearing Carrier

thingiverse

This is the mounting bracket for the rear wheel of my 2WD Traxxas Slash Truck. I manufactured it using PETG material, printing at a slow pace and .12 layer height to boost its structural integrity. So far, I have installed and tested this on my truck, and it fits perfectly - fingers crossed that it will withstand the rigors of use. Only time will tell if it holds up under pressure. To ensure a smooth print, I positioned the "arm" flat during the printing process and employed support from the bed. For the next iteration, I plan to add full supports, but I'm concerned that this might make cleaning out the small holes more challenging. After installing the bearing insert, I had to meticulously clean up the inside of both sides of the hole - a task that was accomplished using an endmill cutter, though a dowel and sandpaper could also be employed with careful attention to detail.
