Traxxas Thumb Steer 5.0

thingiverse

Updated version 5.0. Fits better and with tree supports the supports are now easier to remove.Needed a thumb steer so I can drive RC cars one handed while walking dogs or catching Pokemon. Remixed this from Loudtechryan. Just needed wheel diameter smaller and longer to match my Traxxas remote sponge grip and also needed the thumb steer extended for my smaller hands. The adjustment knobs on the remote got in the way of my thumb so i opened my remote and took those knobs off. It really helped. Imported this to Bambu studio and printed with tree supports and mag wheel facing up. To make the wheel silver i colored it by layers on just the rim section but only enough so the mag face looks silver to save in wasted filament. This also colored the top layers of the thumb control silver so then i painted that black so now only the wheel had silver. I am an old fart and literally a month into owning my first 3d printer and learning to use Tinker cad so my apologies if it looks rough. I made dozens of iterations before i was satisfied and it shows in the lines around the mag wheel but it ok as the sponge covers all that up.
