Mf-01x - suzuki jimny, mercedes g-wagen & others
zeppelin replied to XV Pilot's topic in General discussions
maybe its like what I did to my MF01X using shapeways 3D printing -
great build and photos. I am glad to see my manual is helpful

casethejoint - I'm sorry but I was wrong and you were right at the beginning, the important thing is the flange thickness. no excuse just wasn't thinking clear. 0.08mm difference between the ball bearing and the bushing flange should work fine but as other here said you test and shim if needed.

Thanks again for the compliments everyone. casethejoint - The important thing is the total thickness of the ball bearing compered to the bushing and not the flange thickness.

I created this manual, wrote the article and took the pictures. Thank you for the compliments, I tried to make it in the spirit of tamiya manuals. Glad to see that it is helpful.

VagabondStarJXF As per your request I published the body mounts for the brat body. You can find it here: https://www.shapeways.com/product/UUE6LDFUX/tamiya-mf01x-brat-body-mount please be aware that to use this configuration you will need the yeah racing rear camber link set for the mf01x. Also recommended are those hub carriers: https://www.shapeways.com/product/QEEJ7LUJC/tamiya-mf01x-rear-hub-carrier?optionId=59932141 -

Check these tires http://store.rc4wd.com/Truck-Town-114-Semi-Truck-Tires_p_3256.html The outer diameter is not that large and they have nice thread on them. I use them on the front of my baja bug based on the mf01x chassis, the wheels are the same dimesions as the brat wheels I made with different style. -

Actually I understand you about skinny tires, its much more scale look. The only smoothie I got is installed on my scorcher so I will find some time soon to check if it fits the 3d printed wheel. The link to shapeways: https://www.shapeways.com/product/WWA5NZS2B/tamiya-subaru-brat-wheels -

The wheels are also my design and 3d printed, at first I wanted to use 1/14 semi tire but those were to big so I tried the brat tires are they fit great. -

Just received the new 3d printed rear hub carrier to work with the yeah racing set, it fits great and the rear suspension is done. I use it of my mf01x with brat body. If anyone is interested you can find it here: https://www.shapeways.com/product/QEEJ7LUJC/mf01x-rear-hub-carrier?key=a48ea5afd25e9f3adc0d9c33550e1d5c -

no problem to modify only to the upper hole setup. Yes it has the same +1 toe angle as OEM -

Percymon I also bought the yeah racing rear link set and was disappointed to hear it will not work with the original hub carrier. So I created this new rear hub carrier to work with the yeah racing set and it will be a direct fit to the mf01. It has two mounting points to be able to adjust as needed. Just ordered one for my self, if anyone is interested you can find it here: https://www.shapeways.com/product/QEEJ7LUJC/mf01x-rear-hub-carrier?key=a48ea5afd25e9f3adc0d9c33550e1d5c -

Mr fog - finally I found some time to do some minor progress. I_am_scarecrow - the shipping cost are difined by shapeways, I can't change them. I replaced the rear suspension arms to the TL01 together with TG10 long axle (50808) and m03 toe-in hex (53345) to get more width and now the rear wheels are aligned as they should with the body. The front tires looked to wide so I replaced them with RC4WD truck town semi tires, I'm still not sure if I like it or not. There are many details to add so I keep doing stuff when I get the time. tamiya 50808 and 53345
