This is the Front Caster Block for a Traxxas Slash 2WD, Bandit or Rusler. Print them if you break one...
PLA Holds up ok in mid Temp and Cold. I PLA is fine for normal racing conditions. I raced for 1 hour accident free with oit breakage. Included a few hard hits and cartwheels. They did howeve break when I ran into a post at the indoor track. The caster blocks always break at the bottom where the stock one seams to break too.
PET-G is a little more forgiving.
T-Glass is the strongest and recommended material for these parts. Holes may need drilled slightly depending on the accuracy of your printer.
The hubs have been beefed up for printing flat on the bottom. This will provide support free pringing and beef up the steering arm to prevent breakage during driving.
I rolled my truck 3 times end over end on concrete and thought for sure I broke it. The only damage was a broken rear aluminum shock tower. PLA seams to work just fine. I will print a few extras just in case!
Enjoy ~ These designs are simply practice for me honing my design skills. Not a direct replica, however, it fits and works.
V2, Has a little extra beef around the top pin hole to make a stronger print.
