Weight Plate Bracket for RC4WD Intimidator Pulling Sled

What This Is

This is a weight plate bracket for the RC4WD Intimidator pulling sled. It’s a two-piece, printable design that’s made to let you use standard or olympic weight plates with your RC pulling sled.

Select the bracket to suit your available weight plates, olympic or standard, and then choose whether to print the 4-plate or 6-plate height. Print the two pieces and assemble with some bolts, and you’re ready to tow!

What’s Included

The zip file below contains:

• Files for 4 variants of the bracket:
  
  • Olympic 4-plate, A & B;
  • Olympic 6-plate, A & B;
  • Standard 4-plate, A & B;
  • Standard 6-plate, A & B;
• RC-TNT Plate Brackets – Plated.png – a picture of the brackets plated for printing;
• RC-TNT Plate Brackets for RC4WD Intimidator.png – a picture of how the brackets go together with hardware;
• Read Me.txt

How to Print

I printed in PLA+, though PLA, PETG and other rigid filaments should be fine. I’d suggest these settings:

– 0.4mm nozzle (or bigger)
– 0.24mm layer size (I used 0.3mm with my 0.6mm nozzle)
– 4 to 6 wall width (or wall or shell layers)
– 20% infill, cubic (10% minimum)
– No supports, brim or other helpers. Just print both parts flat on their backs, per the picture.
– You’ll also need hardware: 8x M3 16mm screws for 6-plate variants and 7x of the same for 4-plate variants.

(A handy kit of M3 assorted socket heads for reasonable money)

Installation

• Select the bracket to print. You’ll need both the A and B parts.
• Print per the above settings.
• Assemble with screws.

Place into the Intimidator’s tray and add your plates. You’ll want to put 1.25kg plates on for the first couple, so that they clear the sides of the ‘box’ the bracket sits in. Subsequent plates will clear the borders.
