XT60 Mounting Solution for TRX-4 2021 Ford Bronco and others

thingiverse

I recently got the "Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco" RC-model and are giving it some needed updates. This solution is my own design and it works great for me; this is why I post them on here. The bracket fits onto the crossmember for legacy body types, and is thus only compatible with the new "no clip" mounting system used on the "2021 Bronco" and possibly others. STL-files are available to be sliced for your specific printer. I suggest PETG with 0.1mm layer height, preferably smaller due to small threads. At least 20% infill and 3 perimeters should make it tough. Orient the files to have threads printed upwards like towers. No supports. Solder after assembly. The threads should be ready for use/self-tapping. Don't overtighten screws. Parts to 3D-print: "TRX-4 XT60 Mounting A", mounting bracket. "TRX-4 XT60 Mounting B", back plate. Parts to order: (You probably have spare parts from the car.) 1x XT60 panel mount connector, regulator-side with integrated nuts. (Regular type is incompatible.) 2x M2.5x10mm button head screw for connector. 2x M2.5x10mm countersunk head screw for bracket. 2x 10mm length shrink tubing. Should be done within a few hours. It's really sturdy! Have a look at the ESC mounting plate, also available. Cheers.
