Tamiya VQS Vanquish G11 part reinforced + PCB Version

thingiverse

Got an old Tamiya Vanquish recently and the only part that was seriously damaged has been G11. Quickly found out that this part is know to break, so I decided to improve it and make it 3D printable. I removed the holder for the resistor because I wanted to use a ESC and I also removed the holder for the antenna as I will go for a 2,4 Ghz system that does not require a that long antenna There are three version you can download: for 3d printing: -standard -reinforced for milling, laser cutting, or to be made as a PCB (for example from JLCPCB) - Gerber files (single or double sided) (UPLOAD of zipped files did not work) - DXF Needs to be done with 2mm material or you stack 2x 1mm Material (makes sence as 2mm PCP prototyping is almost 10 times more expensive than 1mm) For the non 3D printed version you need to get a 10mm spacer with internal thread of M3 + shorter screws and a 9mm spacer, inner diameter 3 to 3.2mm, outer diameter ~ 7mm which needs to get a chamfer. You can also 3D print this 9mm spacer. Additionally you will need some M3 screws, washers and nuts. All version have not been testet driving so far and at the moment I'm still waiting to get the PCPs to check if it's working properly.
