Just another iteration in the SCX30 design process. The shock mounts are countersunk 1mm for better angles on the struts.
I'm printing these in PLA at 0.16mm layers. I'm using manual tree supports for the rears, with PETG interface for easy release.
I'm installing them all with M1.4x5mm fasteners (and the stock shock mounts). For the frame mount, I tighten until just snug and then back about one full turn. Do NOT over tighten the frame bolt or the blade won't move freely. At this scale, even a quarter turn either direction can make all the difference.
While the rears do have an added inner blade and screw hole, I'm using shorter fasteners that don't connect there. I tried 8mm screws but the overall thread friction was too much for any good movement. As it is, I recommend using these with weighted wheels for best results.
The fronts do not have an added blade. I tried that but didn't like the lack of good clearance from the steer servo.
I reworked a lot of the original CAD ... next version will be a 9mm eye-to-eye test.
