3D model description

**** Last update (2020.12.05) ****

1.added all-in-one STL file : gh_F_Sus_All_201205.stl
β€» all the final updates all reflected in this file

2.damper adaptor to use in 1/16 dampers with 2.5T rod

[attention]
This conversion kit is intended for using separate oil dampers
Actual damper I used (bought in ebay) :
Oil Adjustable 70mm Long Shock Absorber Damper 2PCS For Rc Car 1/16 Model Car

hole to hole 62mm
Oil Adjustable 80mm Long Shock Absorber Damper 2PCS For Rc Car 1/16 Model Car
hole to hole 70mm

If you want to keep the original spring damping system(not using oil damper)
but still want to convert to double wishbone, download the arm from below link

**** Last Update(2020.8.09) : Ball end mount design enhance ***
just changed the end design from oval to small fillet.

**** Upgraded my own front arm design for tamiya grasshopper (and hornet as well).

Older design was using original spring, this new design allows oil dampers, without hurting the original look and feel of the hopper and hornet.

details on how to install the arm is on my youtube channel(humble vintage rc), however the process is pretty simple and straightforward.

Once you print out the arm, be careful to not break it while removing supports. Because of the angle in the arm, it is a little difficult to remove supports. To ease the support removal, print the arm upside down, I found it much easier!
