WLToys 12428 Custom Body 2018 WAR-PROOF Version

thingiverse

The new redesigned body delivers: -Boosted COG for rock-solid stability -Better dirt/snow protection systems -Air intakes to drastically reduce motor heating -Shock mounts can accommodate larger diameter shocks -Low-profile 10mm LED's are easily mounted for night bashing illumination -Enhanced crash resistance -Better looks than ever before I aimed to create a body that's nearly 100% safe from dirt, sand and snow for extreme off-roading. This model is versatile enough to be driven anywhere without worrying about debris getting inside. The protections were thoroughly tested on wet grass, wet dirt and gravel-covered terrain, as well as icy grass and snowy surfaces. Water can't penetrate if the car is driven on wet surfaces, but it's not a boat, so water may still enter once the chassis plate height is exceeded. Driving this car is incredibly fun now that the steering has better response and the vehicle no longer flips at every turn – a trait it was notoriously known for before. Assembly involves using glue between Nose, Hood and Roof parts, while all other components use screws. I recommend upgrading to larger screws than stock ones for shock towers and M3 x 10 with nuts for tail. LED's are easily snapped into their holders or secured with minimal gluing, while rear holders require tail gluing.
