I 3D printed a TOUGH RC Car wing

- The Rear Wing of the Arrma Kraton 6s isn't very durable, so I upgraded it by 3D Printing a flexible TPU Wing for it.
I then did some durability testing and I wasn't able to break it!

The man, the myth, the legend, FlexiVal lives on
Lol
perfect Design. could you let me know the filament brand and type you used.... there are so many on the market with different flex characteristics...
Actually, I'm working on an improved design rn :) this one was great already but there is still room for improvement. Filament used is 95A Sainsmart solid color TPU
@@ValRC1 great. is there a chance you share the stl on printable or so..... I need one of those myself... I am fed up with buying wings on regular basis....
@@wkatt3573 ohh wait a minute, this is about the wing. lol sorry most comments I get are for my Wltoys TPU Arms, which i'm actually working on an improved version for. The wing is pretty much perfect in terms of durability already tbh. I'm thinking about uploading my designs on cults3d for really cheap, to get a little bit in return for all the work that went into them and enable other people to print them out themselves. Would you be interested in that?
Hello, great video! That wing was amazingly strong!
I have a question that I thought you might be able to help me with. I have a Traxxas Bandit that I speed run and it is almost to 160kph. It needs a front spoiler to do this and I have had several printed in PLA but as soon as I even have a soft crash, they break.
Do you have a recommendation on what kind of plastic to use? I was going to try something besides PLA but I am also trying to not make it too expensive. It needs to be able to stay ridged as it will get some downforce pulling on it but I al also looking for something that doesn't break as easy.
If you want to see the spoiler I have been using, it is time stamped in this video. ua-cam.com/video/vQqq5Cvch68/v-deo.htmlsi=oZj__BVhNYj3WThh&t=449
Thanks so much!
In this video I used TPU, but that probably wouldn't be too optimal for speedrunning as it is pretty flexible and can deform under high loads. If it needs to be stiff, Polycarbonate (hard to print, toxic fumes and expensive) would be optimal, but PCTG might work as well. Nylon is a solid middle ground between flexibility, toughness and stiffness but again, a little bit harder to print.
Maybe you could also change the design if it breaks at a weak point / mounting point?
@@ValRC1 I was talking to a buddy to see if he might be able to help me improve on the design and make it a bit stronger. I really appreciate the advice!
noice
Ty c:
@@ValRC1 you're welcome
Bring a shorts with the crash today😂
Oh yeah I should xD
Put the wing on your wltoys or hyper go😂😂
Might be a little big idk 😂 would have been good to have it as a bumper today tho 😂😂
