Team Associated RC10/RC10T/RC10T2 Front Spindle by rcnand

Last crawled date: 3 years, 5 months ago

Front spindle/carrier for a variety of different vintage Team Associated vehicles with inline axles (RC10, RC10T, RC10T2 - 6221).
These are starting to become increasingly expensive/harder to find even though they used to be widely available. The stock part is composed of nylon, so this part would likely be a "get by" unless you can print in a material of sufficient impact resistance.
Ream the kingpin/hinge pin hole with a 1/8" drill bit. The front axle hole is slightly smaller than a 1/4" bit; a 15/64" bit is close but not perfect. Use a file if you need to get a better fit for the axle. Ideally, you want to keep clearance to a minimum. You may also need to lightly file the flats on which the spindle pivots to allow for smooth motion.
NOTE: I have not yet printed this yet; but an earlier revision that I have modified was very close, so I would expect that this is very close to what is needed. If your printing tolerances are a little better, you may need to tweak the hole sizes slightly.
