Side Mirrors for Axial Wraith Rock Racer

***Update June 9, 2025*** I revised the side mirror and added a mirror back print to allow a thin printed plate (mirror_back) to be adhered to the side mirror recess, with the stick on mirror “glass” pre-attached. This way the mirror will be less distorted, which could have happened with the old side mirror design depending on the quality of the printed bridging. The mirror_back also provides a nice template for cutting. Stick on the mirror “glass” oversized to the mirror_back and then trim the mirror “glass” to match the mirror_back. This will result in a better looking and functioning mirror.

I have an old Axial Wraith Rock Racer that I set up for FPV with a pan tilt and roll mount. Often even with head tracking and the ptr mount, I can't see as much as I'd like, especially behind me.

So this is a set of side mounted mirrors that connect to stock screw locations that hold the side panels in place. You can use the existing screws to mount the brackets to the side. You'll need 2mmx6 screws (4 total, 2 for each side) also.

Print the brackets and mirrors in TPU, and the posts in PETG. The posts have a small flat to make them easier to print. Be sure to rotate that face to the bed for best results.

For the mirror "glass" this stuff from amazon is fantastic and cuts easily to shape: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KU7XVVC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
