A long time ago I got this LEGO set as a present from my dad. Because I like to drive fast and the RC control is only binary I crashed a few times and the jumps of the included big cardboard ramps did their part as well and the front steering knuckles broke.

My dad tried to repair them with two component glue and was quite successful. This round repeated multiple times until the parts was so broken he couldn't repair it any more.

 

But now, round 2 decades later, thanks to 3D printing I have finally the power to find a more sustainable repair.

 

Sadly I will not enjoy this toy anymore, but I'm sure my nephew will in a few years when he's old enough.

 

Now to the print itself:

You need additional parts to clamp the axle of the front wheels in the steering knuckle.

 

2x DIN912 M2,5x10 screw

2x DIN125 M2,5 washer

2x DIN934 M2,5 nut

2x DIN125 M3 washer*

 

*These washers are not needed for the mod, but the two rear screw holes of the chassis break quite easily and need to be opened to do this mod. With these two M3 washers there is no more danger to break the screw holes.

 

I hope someone will find this print and repair an old toy and bring some joy.
