Redcat lightning epx RWD Drift conversion

thingiverse

You need to make 2 steering arms and 2 control arms. 3 kits have been made so far. The beta mockup, the revised version, and a rough final draft. minor tweaks yet to be made but doesn't prevent the kit from functioning as it should. This is a conversion kit I made up because I didn't want to purchase an expensive new chassis, so I ordered a gyro and got to parts swapping. DISCLAMER - I DONT CONCENT TO MY WORK BEING DISTRIBUTED FOR RESALE OR REPOSTING AS THEIR OWN. Please get into contact with me for any changes, modification ideas, and issues. Thank you. currently the ends of the control arms need to be rounded over, otherwise they can rub on the wheels a little. can sand the edges or nip them off with the filament nips. I will be correcting this issue after my print is finished. Material used - PLA works but if you are a social drifter then pla is a lil too fragile for bashing around. i would suggest a stronger material like PETG, ABS, ETC. Rafts or warp tabs may be needed for the long chassis brace. Print settings are honestly up to you and your machine. For the steering tie rods i swapped out one side with redcat volcano tie ends to make up for the toe correction. - i do want to make up my own version of these to be added to the kit instead of needing to take apart another rc or order extra parts. The long chassis brace is designed to take the old aluminum one and trace the screw holes onto it and drill them out of the new brace. Currently some of the slots and holes need to be reamed out a little bit - varies on print settings. You will need a to order a gyro in order to properly drift a rwd rc car.
