LaTrax Rally Wheels Upgrade

thingiverse

UPDATE: New stronger wheel design: "wheel.stl". Best printed from PETG for max strength, This will features thicker spokes where some folks were breaking them due to aggressive driving. This new design should handle anything thrown at it. I just realized that I meant to post these as a remix from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:174009 These wheels for the LaTrax Rally are an upgrade over stock wheels which are surprisingly narrow, making the car difficult to drive / keep pointed in the intended direction on more slippery surfaces (basketball courts, polished concrete, etc.). They are designed to fit on the stock car and to fit Team Associated RC18R tires. I realize these tires are harder to come by, but can usually be found on ebay for about $20 (or your lhs in their archives). Depending on the body of your car you may have to heat it up slightly with a hair dryer to clear the rear wheels. You will also need to move the body posts to their tallest setting. I have included a flat face and an concave version of the wheel. The concave is a tougher print. I usually put the flat face wheel face down on the print bed and manually add supports for the hole in the center. I do not support the wheel lip although you will get a strand or two of filament that falls off, which is okay.
