RC4WD Lowboy Walking Beam Suspension Upgrade Tamiya 1/14

thingiverse

Walking Beam Suspension ================ At least one of my leaf springs would break every meet and it was getting old waiting for replacements to show up. Soooo, I designed a replacement that would not break. The Cons ------------- If you're interested in maximum articulation, stick with the metal leaves. The walking beam articulates fine for my tastes (see videos), but there is no longer any "spring". The Pros ------------ These will not break and still provide some level of articulation. I'd rather not get a "saggy" axle at a meet. Spares of the stock springs are time consuming to obtain. Easy print, no supports needed.
