Wltoys 144001 [Beefed up] Extra Room Under the Body. (Lowered Second Floor Brace))

thingiverse

Second floor: I took the original Thing and elongated the well in the second floor, so i could place the receiver in the front above the servo. It's a tight fight with the servo plug under the body if you are not using the longer bodyposts... but it kinda works. You'll figure something out :P. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/3nP6N98ERNJ-wltoys-144001-second-floor Bodyposts: I beefed up the bodyposts and removed the alignment pin for easier printing. Now you have to grab the back one with pliers while tightening the screw. The front one fits perfectly and can't rotate. If you use the higher bodyposts (0.6mm higher) you will almost have a gap between the sidewalls of the bottom plate and the body. I always use some 3M dual lock to strap my bodys down. The body is flexible enough for this. If you are using some 3M dual lock the clips on the bodyposts are almost not needed since the dual lock ist strong enough even using this tiny amount i am using here. After this, the body looks somehow slimmer. Kinda like it. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/aQMEbhUOoUi-wltoys-144001-bodyposts Battery Wall: I just beefed up the mounts for the strap. Little thicker now. Nothing fancy. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/5jL4ctIJBdA-wltoys-144001-battery-wall IMPORTANT: I didn't use the old screws for the posts, i used some M3 screws. The holes in the bodyposts are 10mm deep. So max screwsize would be around 11mm? ALSO IMPORTANT: When using the stock ESC it gets pretty hot, even if you remove the upper case like i did. Printing the 2nd floor in PLA and using zipties and no fan for the ESC the PLA will deform since it starts getting soft pretty soon.
