VKAR Bison replacement front bushings

thingiverse

The VKAR Bison V2 is an absolute blast to drive, and its affordability factor is a major plus, considering it's roughly half the price of the Helion it draws inspiration from. However, there's one area where this vehicle falls short: the wishbone connection's fragile bushing and pin design. Unfortunately, I experienced firsthand the consequences of their weakness when I managed to break both mine. Adding insult to injury was the need for two replacement threaded rods. At that point, creating a 3D printed alternative in Onshape became an essential priority. With precise slicing courtesy of Simplify3D and printing on my trusty Prusa i3 MK3, these custom parts turned out flawlessly. Since fitting them, I've yet to encounter any breakage, and the upgrade has significantly simplified fitment and replacement procedures.\r\n\r\nYou can catch a video detailing their design and manufacture, as well as witness the Bison V2's impressive capabilities, at https://youtu.be/hoakxJzfZ10.
