Front control arms for a Team Associated RC10T2. May fit other RC10 variants (GT?). Design is simplified for printing as shown in the picture. Only one arm in file - mirror for the other side as needed.
I recommend stronger materials if possible. I printed my first set in PETG and they broke soon after a few rough tumbles (broke on the holes on the ends where they attach to the chassis). I printed my new set (in the photo) in polycarbonate - hoping these hold up better.
UPDATE 15 Dec 2020:
I tried many tweaks to the design and tried different materials (GizmoDorks PC, eSun Nylon, etc.) and different print orientations (sideways to improve layer alignment with respect to the holes), I continued to have issues where the arms kept breaking at the hinge points after 1-2 jumps off a skateboard ramp.
The latest v5 design seems to have finally fixed this when coupled with PolyMax PC filament - I thickened the arms about 2mm and increased the amount of material around the hinge pin holes. Still need to do more testing, but after multiple jumps and occasional bad landings they are still holding well, with some scrapes to the area around the hinge points even. The new photo is of the v5 design.
