TT02 - Type-S - Rear Hinge Pin Ball

thingiverse

Not really sure the exact name for this part, but after the earlier problems with the rear end and only just managing to locate all the parts strewn across the track I decided the next week would be pretty much R&D for new 3D parts including a version of the ball part. I had no expectations this part would be any good but wanted to confirm the dimensions and 'feel' of the car would remain correct. This held up OK but at some point in the first round a rear wheel made contact with a track marker and snapped the part, although this was able to be 'popped' back in and worked just fine for the remainder of the race. This was prior to the tub being replaced, but after a more substantial brace was added, so the rear toe plate threads were still causing headaches and allowing a small amount of movement of the rear toe plate. Potentially without these threads being a problem the 3D printed ball part may be race capable. It'd 100% be fine for car park bashing.
