Prototype Progress


Progress is continuing on the 1/5 RWD project.



3d printing is underway and first prototype parts are hitting revision point.


Lower arm and steering wipers worked well for sizing checks and determining positioning.


But I ran into issues where specific threads and ball end kits used in the CARSON CY-Eline will make it hard to get parts from common manufacturers.


Still learning a lot about materials.

Carson kind of chose their own combinations of threads and screws. M3 M4 and M5 ball ends with M3 and M4 screws don't match.

Just a small rethink and re-engineer for standard traxxas sizes. If M3 and 6.8 ball is good enough for 1/8 thrashing jumping machines, then the low loading on drift spec parts will be fine



more droop from re-positioned shock mounts.


Wheel test and tyre test


As I get better with software and material expect the prototypes to get better.
