New Bright Toy RC to 12mm Hex Wheel Adapter

thingiverse

I wanted to use some hobby grade tires on a cheap RC toy from the thrift store, so I whipped up these adapters. This allows you to mount RC wheels with a 12 mm hexagon onto the New Bright truck chassis. The Truck Chassis I used was the Liberator RAT Racer. It is a two wheel drive chassis, so the front wheels rotate around a 1/4" shaft and the drive wheels in the rear go over a 7 mm hexagon inside a 11 mm opening. The "Short" versions use the 1/2" and 1" screws that come with the vehicle and the normal version are 12.5 mm (1/2 inch) longer. The screws that come with the vehicle look like #4 sheet metal screws, but you can use a #6 sheet metal screw if you cannot locate a #4 that is long enough. I was able to buy small packs at Home Depot.
