3D model description

I have updated this with version 3.0, which has several tweaks. The largest is moving the shocks down 7 mm for a lower CG and lower chance of breaking when the car flips. Also tweaked the arm hinges for freer movement with less sanding/trimming on your part.

Also, while the shocks in the pics are not Tamiya, I have realized they are almost as large as tamiya, so you may find a model of Tamiya shock that fits without too much trimming.

I was rebuilding an old destroyed original Fox and printing various parts to avoid paying $50 for one little piece, when I realized I wanted to get rid of the mono-shock front suspension. So after a bunch of designing and several design iterations, here we are. PLEASE NOTE: these are NOT Tamiya dampers here, Tamiya dampers will not fit. These are Chinese made dampers off eBay for $9 intended for the Tamiya CC01 chassis. 72mm mounting hole center-to-center. If you want standard Tamiya dampers you will have to tweak the design accordingly.

3D printing settings

Print at 100% scale. The tightest tolerances have been tweaked to work best on my Ender 3 Pro using PETG, and it has a lot of miles on it. YMMV.
