New front arms.

[Eartnvirgo10]

I just put a set of 3D printed Andy's front arms on a car (from Shapeways). By the time I got them fitted up and working smoothly, I'd just assumed paying full price for originals.

these I assume?

Yes. They were tight in every direction. I had to remove material anywhere that was remotely close to any other part.

I know they are for the worlds car but isn't the worlds car the same dimensions?(because it was a reboot)

You broke an Andy's arm, right? Why not replace it with another?

Soak all the old nylon parts in water for a few days to rehydrate them.

I'm sure it is. But then you just move the breaking point somewhere else.


Honestly, if you want a car to bash with, buy a Traxxas. You can replace almost anything on them for under $5, and having to spend $10 would be uncommon.

Bashing with a 30+ year old car will get expensive.

Definitely agreed. I'm not going to be jumping it/ go SUPER fast(it has an RC airplane motor in it) but I don't really want to leave it to collect dust on the shelf

Like I said, be sure to soak all the nylon to rehydrate it. That will make them less brittle.

The pieces have been drying for 30 years, give them a few days in water.

Warm to hot is better but don't boil them or have them over heat sources.
