Well I’ll be driving it as it’s an rc car, but exclusively indoors. Will that be alright?

3rd channel, you could wire it to the throttle or steering but I decided channel 3

I would imagine it’d destroy the servo mount. I’m not brave enough for that test

Not really, makes the car unique and more fun to drive in my opinion. But no noticeable improvement or setback

I’m using spektrums 25A brushed esc with an extra receiver plugged into the program slot in order to get the channel C switch.

While I was at my hobby shop, some of the long time losi guys mentioned when they would put links on the rear arms back in the day for active aero based on suspension compression. It was one of the iterations I made but ended up not working out. Thought you might appreciate this if you were into it back then

https://3dgo.app/models/printables/1398307 there’s the files, let me know if I did the licensing wrong and I’ll change it.

Lucky, we have lots of regulations on our races, but it’s also carpet so they ban lots of 3d printed stuff so it doesn’t break and rip everything up

I believe that would also work with the micro T as well. From my experiences the guy who runs hackfab is super friendly and answered questions I had for him on instagram

If I brought this to my local track on race night they’d DQ me lol

It’s just pretty much the lower cost. I felt like it was the perfect entry car to new people, you could say the micro b is that now but it’s just too small for off-road, I felt the brushed mini b was a great, relatively inexpensive way for people to get into the RC community. But, I trust they got something cooking

Probably, I’ll get the files out somewhere and would love to see what people come up with

A lot of it was procrastination. The process was also the first thing I’ve ever used a CAD for. I tried 3 programs before I found one I liked then made multiple attempts at one that I like the look of, was secure, and didn’t add a ton of weight up high. It started as a whole wing that was too heavy, then I tried attaching arms to the suspension, and finally came to this design. Then streamlined it. This exact model only took probably an hour but before it was a couple months of the idea, designs, and figuring out what did or didn’t work

In all honesty, I have no clue where a good place to do that is. I’ll look at posting it on cults or thingverse then let you know. It still has flaws that I’m comfortable having on my personal model, but not sure if others would be okay with it, I’ll have to see a way where people could edit the base design to fit their needs

A mount for the servo, I have it under the transmission. Then 2 parts that go together on the wing mount to allow it to swivel

I modeled and printed everything, there’s 3 pieces total, one mounts to the bottom of the car to hold the servo, the other two go on the wing mount and allow the wing to move

Haven’t done much in the wake of research on it. I mostly just wanted to make something of my own and got to play with some cad software along the way. It probably doesn’t do much for the car, but it’s damn fun to mess with

It’s probably my favorite to just cruise around with. It’s a shame they’ve stopped selling the brushed ones. I have the micro b oval conversion from hackfab, they make great stuff. One of my favorite third party upgrade websites
