Printed these test pieces last night , they are the front and rear hubs for the SG Tag Coyote with the double bearing mod inbuilt , I don't have any 5x10x3 bearings but I was able to test the fit with some 6x10x3 bearings , all fits well so I'll pop these up later as well as the bearing adapters , these are just printed in PETG and look awful and are to weak to use , I'm just using up rolls of crap filament for test purposes .
Here it is next to the big single bearing original . And
The rear one.

This is the double bearing adaptor for the coyote , works well so it's going to be added soon . It needs two 5x10x3 bearings per wheel .

That looks great! I think I’ve said it before..but thanks for all the work you have put into these Coyote parts.

Your welcome , they are up on Shapeways now £6.83 for a set of four in the natural white , hate to think about the shipping costs .

Legend!

I saw the TAG Pro 10 suspension arms with the extra shock mounts in your Shapeways shop. Really cool stuff.

Finally got round to the much needed spur gear for the Coyote , all the gears I've modelled so far have been 0.8 mod but every time I use the gear generator in Fusion 360 they come out bigger than the original gear in my hand and they have to be scaled down a few % to match , it happened with the Dogfighter as well as the Coyote , in fact I have several sets of original Dogfighter gears and none of them are the same size as each other But none of them as big as those generated in Fusion , if I print the Dogfighter gears at full size the gears bind badly , I tried checking if they were actually a DP gear but the equivalent DP gear is the same over size compared to original parts , I'm thinking that maybe the gear mould is accurate but the nylon shrinks causing this size difference , it's the only thing that makes sense to me .Oddly modern gears are spot on the same as the Fusion 360 gear generator and this causes problems with the Coyote as the modern full size gears just brush the lexan under plate on the Coyote , its not enough to do any harm but enough to mark the lexan slightly
My original chewed up gear . Test printed gear

That's about £29 for two sets delivered , not to bad I guess , thanks , let me know how they are when the arrive .

Just received the Coyote bearing adapters. They look great and arrived in record time..the fastest I have ever got something from Shapeways. I am still waiting waiting for the bearings to see how everything fits up.

Thanks for letting me know , bearings should all snap into place .

Hard to get a good picture of this, holding it in one hand and taking photo with tablet in the other and a dog (that suddenly weighed two tuns and could not be moved) on my lap , it's meant to be a Hot Laps wheel for the Yokomo 834b .

Just got this off the printer , same wheel in grey silk PLA , need to add a fillet to the rim then I'll stick them on Thingiverse .

What a great looking wheel!! At first glance, I thought it was turned aluminum.

The wheel is on Thingiverse now .

Started modelling the Mini Mustang , got a wheel printed , looks nice , somehow I made it too deep but easily remedied .
