Arrma Outcast/Kraton 4S Wheelie Bar and Wing (Bash bar)

thingiverse

Hi guys, This is a wheelie bar and wing replacement for the Arrma Outcast 4S. The wheelie bar should fit on the Kraton, but it is installed in the higher Outcast Wheelie bar location. If you broke your Kraton wheelie bar, this will not solve your problem. Note: There are captive nuts inside the wing mount. Don't lose them. I didn't see them right away and lost one. I had spares, you may not be so well equipped. The wing isn't really a wing, I call it a "Bash Bar". My Outcast's wing took a major beating from day one so I decided to make a sacrificial part that doesn't actually attempt to be wing like. You guys and running time will be the judge. I made the mistake of taking the beast out for a little bash without the wing... don't do it. That wing is an important sacrificial piece. I'm hoping this Bash Bar is a cheap make do part if you're in a pinch. I made these out of Solutech flexible filament (TPU) and they are pretty dang tough right off the printer. The wheelie bar is a little more flexible than I would like, but I'm hoping that makes it durable in crashes. I beat on these parts with my hands and then a hammer to see if they could take the hits and they're pretty tough, guys. We shall see. I printed with 90% infill on the wheelie bar and lower (20%) on the Bash Bar because I wasn't sure how it would fit/work. I think the Bash Bar may not last with the low infill but it takes a lot of plastic to make it with high infill, hence my decision. I will update as I find out what lasts and what doesn't. Use at your own risk. These are both high impact parts so if they fail far easier than the stock ones damage to other parts may result. I do not have the testing resources to confirm or deny the strength of these parts. If I experience additional damage I will post promptly. Running these parts is almost certainly better than running nothing in their place. Wrench to drive or drive to wrench?
