WLToys A979/A959/A969 Suspension Arms

Last crawled date: 4 years, 4 months ago

These are suspension arms for the WLToys A959/969/979 series of cars. I have now tested them and the pin holes need to be drilled with a 2mm drill bit but they work great. I might make a set with holes that fit without drilling but it's tough to get them perfect (prints perfect for me might result in holes too tight when you print them). Drilled out, these arms have practically zero play which will minimize breakage.
If drilling is a huge pain for you, post a comment and I'll probably make a set with larger tolerances. For now, I figure if you can 3D print you can drill.
I've been running a PLA suspension arm on my Arrma Outcast 4S and it has held up way better than I expected, so much so that I'm hoping these do too. I turned the walls way up (2mm) and heavy infill (80%) and ran about 5 degrees hotter than usual with the flow dialed up to 107%. You might want to give something like that a try.
Merry Christmas! Hope this keeps somebody running over the holidays.
