WLToys A979/A959/A969 Suspension Arms

Hi guys,\r\n\r\nIf Thingiverse is as slow for you as it is for me, consider checking out Cults 3D for your 3D parts:\r\nhttps://cults3d.com/en/users/WrenchToDrive/creations\r\n\r\nUpdate: I recently crashed my vehicle in a huge accident. Cold weather, high speeds, and rough terrain took their toll on the front arm. The axle also bent and a cheap plastic wheel was destroyed. This might suggest that the strength of the arm isn't really an issue.\r\n\r\nThese suspension arms are designed for the WLToys A959/969/979 series of cars. After thorough testing, I found that the pin holes require a 2mm drill bit to fit properly. However, they work great once drilled out. Practically zero play is achieved, which reduces breakage.\r\n\r\nIf drilling is too much trouble for you, please post a comment and I'll consider making a set with larger tolerances. For now, I assume that anyone who can 3D print can also drill.\r\n\r\nI've been running PLA suspension arms on my Arrma Outcast 4S and they've held up surprisingly well. I increased the wall thickness to 2mm, added heavy infill (80%), and ran the temperature about 5 degrees higher than usual with a flow rate of 107%. You might want to try something similar.\r\n\r\nWishing you all a Merry Christmas! Hopefully, these parts will keep your cars running over the holidays.\r\n\r\nTake a look at my A979 Outcast poor man's Arrma Infraction on YouTube if you're looking for a fun project with your WLToys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERNCA6yfuoQ\r\n\r\nRemember to use these parts at your own risk.\r\n\r\nWhich is more important, driving or wrenching?
