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!

RC-TNT Plate Brackets for RC4WD Intimidator

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)

RC-TNT Plate Brackets - Plated

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.

Long Motor Cross Brace for FMS FCX10

Long Motor Cross Brace for FMS FCX10

What This Is

This is a one-piece cross-brace that’s designed to replace the stock piece in the FMS FCX10 K5 Blazer. It sits between the motor and the servo and provides chassis rigidity and receiver holes for the shock hoop screws.

Print this tray and install it using the hardware that came with the car. You’ll have more room for your longer motor with no loss in rigidity or strength. Win-win!

What’s Included

The zip file below contains:

  • RC-TNT Cross Brace for FMS FCX10.stl
  • Read Me.txt
Cross Brace for FMS FCX10 Top-Down

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)
– 60% infill, cubic (25% minimum)
– No supports, brim or other helpers. Just print it flat and you’re done.

Cross Brace for FMS FCX10 Underside

Installation

Simply remove the stock cross-brace that sits between the motor and the servo in your FMS FCX10. Install this one, with the deeper gap at the back. There’s a small arrow on the top surface that points to the front of the chassis.

Now you have 6mm more room for a 560 sized motor, or for whatever other crazy thing you’re trying to run in the car.

Battery Tray for FuriTek FX118 Fury Wagon

FX118 on Rock

What This Is

This is a one-piece battery & electronics tray that is designed to move the weight forward on the Furitek FX-118 Fury Wagon. In stock form, the model has too much rear weight and struggles when crawling.

Print this tray and install it using the hardware that came with the car. You’ll have a more capable rig, even if you do nothing else!

FX118 RHS Chassis

What’s Included

The zip file below contains:

  • RC-TNT CoG Fix for FX-118.stl
  • Read Me.txt
FX118 Front LHS

How to Print

I strongly suggest PLA+ or other impact-resistant filaments. I’d suggest these settings:

– 0.4mm nozzle (or bigger)
– 0.24mm layer size (I used 0.3mm with my 0.6mm nozzle)
– 6 wall width (or wall or shell layers)
– 60% infill, cubic (40% minimum)
– supports needed (tree recommended at 35 degrees)

 

FX118 Tray Print Setup

Installation

Once printed, install the tray with the screws from the front mount (OEM piece removed) and two of the four screws from the battery tray mounts (in the rearward of the front screw holes). Also, remove the locknuts from the front shocks and screw those same screws into the side-hoops of this tray.

Use one of the two rubber bands to secure the battery up front, and fresh double-sided tape to stick down the ESC and Receiver on the rear of the tray. See my video and/or photos on the website for specifics, or just make it up yourself. There’s no one way to do it – fit the modules how you want to 🙂

Custom Body for Losi LMT Mega Trucks

Modified Losi LMT Mega Front-RHS

What This Is

These are my custom parts to help complete the project started by redbeard_ron on Thingiverse some time back. I’ve included a hood piece that helps secure the polycarbonate interior, and a pair of rear panels to help complete the rear of the cage.

My parts are sized to fit the Losi LMT Mega Truck rather than the Losi LMT, but they’re actually fairly close. Have a play with them and see what you think!

  • Rear Panel v3.stl
  • Read Me.txt

redbeard_ron's Original Panels

How to Print

I strongly suggest PLA+ or other impact-resistant filaments. I’d suggest these settings:

– 0.4mm nozzle (or bigger)
– 0.24mm layer size (I used 0.3mm with my 0.6mm nozzle)
– 6 wall width (or wall or shell layers)
– 60% infill, cubic (40% minimum)
– no supports needed
– mirror the rear panel so you have a Left and Right side

To get the triangular patterns and multi colors on my prints, I ‘painted’ the shapes using Bambu Studio and printed with my P1S with AMS. Printing in a single color is fine, of course.

Comp Course Labels

Comp Course Labels

What This Is

When we run a comp day, our club has sometimes as many as 20 courses running concurrently.

It can get confusing for people who are looking for the right course for their class.

So, now we have these nifty course labels. Each one uses a bit under 30g of filament with 2 colors and probably less again with just one color.

PScale Print Preview

What’s Included

I’ve made a set of Course 1 to Course 5 for these classes:

  • Super
  • Pro/Moa
  • Sporty
  • Performance Scale
  • Mini
  • Scale-1 (experimental class)
  • Pricey’s Tuff Truck (experimental class)

I’ve also made a blank label, so you can print it in just one bright color and then write your class and course number on it in black marker. It’s up to you how you do it!

They’re 150mm x 50mm in size, and about 8mm deep. I didn’t want to go too thin nor too small, as they need to be visible and also heavy enough to not be blown away in windy conditions. This size feels good in the hand and it’s easy to read in the IMPACT font I used.

Materials Needed

You’ll need 25g to 30g of PLA+ filament per label, and of course, access to 3D printer.

Comp Labels printing

How to Print

These are best printed at a draft resolution (0.24 on a 0.4mm nozzle or 0.3 or 0.36 on a 0.6mm nozzle). I used 2 walls (or shell thickness) and 10% Rectilinear infill.

Printing in two filament colors, care of Bambu AMS, at 0.3mm resolution, the total filament needed to print a set of 5 labels is 144g (or 48m of PLA+ filament).
