Not in Original as have been said above . They worked fine on the boomer , I had a few boomers and still do .
The re re had two and some people put in the wrong one in a complained it binding , till they were pointed in the right direction .
So i was pointing out there are too types of uprights and some one may have put/given you a wrong one ? possibility ....
Trying to help you out , to find the possible problem ..
Or you may have a slightly bent dogbone ? ...

Front uprights ( steering arm ) are different offset on boomer too hotshot ...
Hotshot short dog bones
Boomerang long dog bones .
Boomerang came with TWO Front uprights ( steering arm ) in kit , the manual said what one too use . for boomer ..

WOW , very nice . Great 3D design's you have on thingiverse.com .
I will have to print some of them , thanks .
Great paint job , wheel arches are a pain , but sand paper to smooth it out .

cheers, thats the video I saw too, its a great idea, and also means you don't have to do multi-part moulds, which also have seam lines.
PETG softens at a lower temp than ABS - 85C compared to about 105C, so the mould should stand up to PETG for quite awhile. Polycarbonate softens higher at 140C, so the ABS mould won't last doing polycarbonate, but I think I could get 5 or so good bodies before it starts to deform. The wall is reasonably thick and the heat isn't in contact for too long, but the surface will start to lose detail I think. I did try a PLA mould for a small light covering, and after 3 goes the mould badly warped, but I only need two. PLA softens around 60C though, which is too low really.
Wow , isn't funny . 3D petg temp 220- 260 degs .
looking great @yogi-bear . So ya still 3D printing much . .
Not been on tc much , much like u , gee last update April 24 2021 . You have been busy .

Thank you , will be good to print it . It's some thing we don't see on cars much theses days , In the 80's 90's they were on alot
of cars had them . I had them on the old MK 1 Escort , MK1 Capri . MK 3 cortina . Making a mini one will be great addition to
the SS . Thanks ..

3 hours ago, Ziddan said:Pics as promised, wheels that arrived today, driver head painted today and rear window louvres print+plastidipped today
I found a nice file on thingiverse but the original was pretty thin and didnt print well for me so i thickened the louvres up a bit and then it printed excellent, mine is in PLA so cant say exactly how durable it would be but at least very nearly free to replace if you have a 3d printedr it costs cents in filament.
The body shell is still unmodified, the louvres as i said are printed in PLA and the green bit ive printed in TPU, a flexible material, the blue bits are locating helpers so it stays in the window, the green screws to the center hole and holds the louvres on and since its flexible its very easy to take off by bending it from the inside when the body is off.
Nice , do you have it on thingiverse of your updated one thanks .. Would love to print it my self .
Looks fantastic , great job ..

Thanks

Ampro is pintopower .. Has some great stuff ..

Recently however I thought, I think I might want one, and started looking. I found the one in the pics and picked it up for about 242 of your great British pounds, which from what I've been seeing lately is a good score.
Not entirely sure which edition it is though. The steering is the original set up, the motor is from the 2011 version, everything else could be from just about any edition really. I may eventually change the steering to the later set-up, seems to have less links in it.
Body is good, wing is beat up but it should be fine for occasional running.@moffman Looks like your one lol .
Nice Avante @Pablo68 , are you going to run it ?. 2011 model , so it should be good to run .

Abs is a pain to use , UHU stic ( Blue ) is what i used . On glass bed . But Raft is good also . and both can be applied if needed .
I try not to use raft , as more to clean up , of course . But some times needed ( i use as last resort )
I also use ( 3DLAC Plus) it's an Adhesive spray for 3d printers to prevent warping great stuff .
Mind you not cheap , but works . Hair spray is some thing other people use , not sure what brand ?
As i have not used it , But the 3dlac smells like it of sorts .
Maybe google it and see what you have in your country ? ..
I have some prints look great and then start to warp sadly .. Nothing worse , as it can screw the hole print .
So give them a go ?.
I have CTC printer that i used the UHU Blue on and worked , with glass on bed .
Inventer , i don't have glass bed . But i use 3dlac .
Ender 5 pro not glass bed , but i use 3dlac .
Let the print and bed cool and most of the time the come off , some times i have to tap it to get it off lol .
But they do come off , NO warping ..
Good luck .
Ok , uk site for 3dlac

This is going to be about 1/2 hour job , need to finish off . Starting to get the hang of this Autocad stuff .
So this was my next challange CRP boomerang , hotshot etc front brace . Just need to curve ( fillet ) the ends .
Then i can print . This is my 1st draw for RC . I'm sure i will need to make changes lol ..
Been trying to Autocad draw for a few years and of course it won't work/turnout etc . Get peeeeeed offffffffffff
And stop . But been woring on it and watching youtube over the last 6 or so months .
I will print it in PLA 1st ( all i have at the moment ) will look at ABS , petg or nylon maybe ,
But that's for another RC cad day HAHA ..

Maybe they had an abundant amount of them possibility ? and it was cheaper to make , as No alloy part and having to press the ends together ... And the rear used them anyway and had to make ...
