Just received the Super A5 part I designed and got name up at Shapeways. Just testing at the moment. Hope you like the idea. You need the M05 shaft set 54613 to replace the lower wishbone screw pins with the 58.5mm shafts. I took advantage of the length of the shafts to increase the length of the A5 interface and I also increased the diameter from 4 to 5mm. Hopefully much stronger. We shall see!

All fitted. I needed m3 x 20 machine screws to fit them. Just enough shaft showing to fit the e clips.

All fitted along with my tweaked front shock mount to clear the Thunder Dragon body with 70mm shocks

And with everything back together.

Thanks! Means a lot coming from you. You inspired me to get involved. Even been using Shapeways for rapid prototyping in my day job.

I don't have a shop yet as I want to make sure this works and the front shock mount it about the 8th iteration! When they are good I'll start selling. 

Cheers!
