Traxxas TQi Link iPhone 5 / iPhone 6 Plus with OtterBox case Holder v2.0

thingiverse

I really liked the features in the TraxxasLink app but now that the connection is done through Bluetooth and no longer with the cradle that was connecting my phone on the TQi remote, I had to come up with something to hold my iPhone while driving my X-Maxx (I tried ordering an optional third hand, but they were backordered). So I designed this contraption that can be clamped to my Traxxas TQi without modifying or damaging the remote control itself. The design is made to use 4-40 UNC nuts and bolts (bolts are 1 inch long). To prevent scratching your remote control, you can add some self-adhesive foam on the cylindrical parts that clamp onto the remote control handle (I did put some; you can see it in the pictures). The phone clamp is designed to fit an iPhone 5 OtterBox Defender Case. But the way I designed this contraption, you can simply create your own phone clamp to fit with the other parts. ---------------Update 1--------------- I've added a new part for an iPhone 6 Plus, even though it's a big phone to put on top of a remote control. ---------------Update 2--------------- I've made some modifications to the tightening ring (Part 06) so it will have more tightening force. I also added a new bracket system that makes it easier to mount or unmount the device. ---------------Update 3--------------- Some holes were too tight.
