Traxxas TRX-3 / TCP / Blue Eagle LSII / SRT Hinge Mounts (Various Toe Amounts)

thingiverse

Rear hinge blocks for a variety of vintage Traxxas vehicles (TRX-1, TRX-3, TCP, Blue Eagle, Blue Eagle LS, Blue Eagle LSII, Hawk 2, Rad 2, and SRT). This will not work for a Rustler/Stampede which has mounts integrated into the gearbox. The standard hinge mounts require a triangular wedge to be placed between the block and the chassis to create the Anti-Squat. This creates an odd bolted joint that often loosens. These blocks create this in the hinge hole. I can reduce the anti-squat or increase it based on the model. If I run through some additional iterations, I will add them to this file posting. Bore the hinge pin hole with the appropriate drill bit (~1/8" bit). Tap the mounts with a M4 tap. UPDATE 07/29/20: I discovered an error in the original design which through off the dimensions (very embarrassing). You might have been able to get it to fit up but it was highly unlikely in most cases as the chassis would interfere with the hinge pivot. Not sure how I was able to get mine to work on my Blue Eagle LS II other than that it may have been an earlier revision. This has been corrected to match the latest Traxxas geometry (both 1 degree and 0 degree blocks). The 1 degree version will be pretty tight near the front edge of the block but some light filing should clear the chassis if you have this issue. There should be good clearance to the transmission housing - I still need confirm a TRX-1/TRX-3/TCP transmission case. I added 1, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 degree anti-squat variants, for both 0 degree and 1 degree blocks. I may may a version of the block that reduces toe-in by 1 or 2 degrees - but this is it for now.
