Hyper Toy Co Rc Car Tie Rod Extension

When the front suspension is compressed on this specific RC car, the hub turns to the outside because the tie rod is not in line with the front motor output. This part is meant to fit the Hyper Toy Co model HYP-24-08-10 RC car. It uses minimal filament, but still will work well for this application.

Layer Height: 0.2mm

Material: PETG, ABS, or any strong material

Infill: 100% (May seem like too much, but the part is small enough that it doesn't matter)

Brim: optional

Let me know if you have any problems with this model; it helps me know what to improve :)

Angles:

There are five models: R-30, L-30, R-15, L-15, and LR-0. The -30 models are meant to be angled out 30 degrees, and the -15 models 15 degrees. The LR-0 model can be used on either the left or the right, and is not angled at all. And the letters are pretty obvious-- R for right, L for left.

Note:

You will need a small screw that is close to or identical to the screws that hold the tie rod ends on (the stock screws). I used a small screw and washer.

Happy Printing! (And fixing, testing, commenting, etc)

ASSEMBLY:

We will start on the left side. 

1. Start by removing the wheel.

1. Remove the tie rod.

1. Gather the pieces shown below. The screw in the picture is the one described in the description. I am using the L-15 (15 degree left) because it works best for me.

1. Install the extension to the tie rod mount nearest to the body with one of the stock screws.

1. Install the tie rod to the newly installed extension with the screw from step 3.

1. Install the other end of the tie rod to the hub. I chose to put a small plastic washer on top of the tie rod loop to tighten up the steering a little bit.

1. Re-install the wheel.

1. Repeat for the right side. Don't forget to use the right side extension (R-15, R-30, or R-0).
