Well, just need to wait for my orange pla to arrive so I can try printing out my walking clock....
They should work fine and be fairly light on support material to print thanks to those deep cones. I am going to hold off uploading them for now as I want first crack at printing them lol.

If you build up from parts, the bellcrank posts require 2.5mm e clips which are completely unlisted and not supplied in any mini jrx2 parts bag. I used Axial as they were cheapest.

Added rod ends to the spring retainer so you can now convert 5 link shocks to h arms or front use. They use pivot balls from the shock mount parts bag or straight from the 5 links themselves.
Shock Retainer and rod end:

and I have been able to print out one Jrxt wheel.. it needs more work... 3 piece wheels ALWAYS need more work grrr.... lol

So....I'm late to the party - what did I miss?
clm - I easily see an LXT in my future, thank you
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
What body are you working on for the LXT?
As Jeff mentioned, my two printers probably have 1000s of hours on them now, Ender 3 Pro, both with alloy clamp and glass beds, little things here and there as well - I am filament rich, I probably have 30+ rolls, and emptied nearly a dozen on top of that. Once they are leveled out, they print just fine. They are both cranking out parts, cars, modified items, I think I am approaching the limit for saved files on TinkerCad, LOL.

Bodys and lexan parts are not my forte!
I would happily print out mockups for someone who is capable of making bodies and lexan parts... as it is I am working to model all the hard parts I can model for these cars and just had a thought to ask if anyone had A traxxas hawk I could borrow for a couple months to model lol

Boki racing could probably do a limited run off a 3D printed buck if you were to model a body
As far as the Hawk goes- I found a complete first gen cad model on grabcad a while back. I haven’t looked it over real close but it looked pretty solid.

Thanks Jeff, I will have to go looking for that.
Just found it, it looks good, I will probably pick up some og parts so I can calibrate size... time to buy bulk Reprapper white pla+ lol... I think it would look right with super knobby rc10 classic rear tires lol

Most likely true - since I dove into 3d, my projects have grown exponentially...
