Looks like you've lost part of the bearing seat for the sprocket output , the same thing happened on one of my gearboxes , I designed a fix pictured below , happy to share the STL . Can't wait to see another Samurai back on the road

modelled up a test piece for mounting the trailing arms , quite tricky as the axle is 70 degrees angled from the pivot pin and the pin is 5 degrees angled from the chassis , I also gave it 0.5 degree toe in on each rear wheel , not sure if I'll fit it to the stock chassis or cut a whole chassis plat...

Hello and welcome

You tell people it's not easy but unless you actually know what your talking about and you have an original in your hands then you just can't see it , the whole thing is just wrong for FDM .

This is where I am with the FDM Samurai chassis , in Cura with 1.2 mm thick walls at 0.2mm layer height that looks horrible because of the gentle angles its about 10 hours print time for the main part of half the chassis , at 0.1 mm layer height with 1.2mm wall thickness its about 20 hours . chassis...

I've already made screw fixing points in the model and none are externally visible , the model you linked is beyond me as of yet and for some time to come but looks very nice .

Chillin with ma bitch

Going from old school 27meg to 2.4 big with expo , epa and multi memory , best upgrade ever

Wrong colour heat shrink on the RX battery , completely ruins it , seriously that's beautiful

Beautiful as usual :D IMG_20211223_140439_556.jpg [attachment=0]IMG_20211223_140453_170.jpg[/attachment [attachment=0]IMG_202...

Welcome aboard David

Optima front hubs arrived and they look more the part . Slightly better picture of the rear .

Oh yes the 834b wins again ! Well done Derek you created a little dream

The major advantage is run time. You got five minutes with a spirited brushed motor back in the day. Now with a mild brushless system and lipo battery, you get the same performance but for 30+ minutes and then the motor is still cool so you can just stick another lipo in and go again! I've got two r...
