Has anyone 3D printed rollover protection for their RC?
I have an EB410.2 that I bought to bash the quarantine away.
And bash it does!
But ... I roll it a lot. On asphalt. It's not broken per se, but it does get pretty scratched up.
Has anyone printed a roll cage or some kind of shock tower nerf bars for their basher?
Most of the damage is to the front shock tower and shock nuts. The rest is to the rear lexan wing. Maybe that's a candidate for printing too?

I have printed shock tower protectors for my tacon/LC racing buggy. I would say design something like this......

rear wings are disposable even for a track car so I wouldnt consider protecting it much other then a rear shock tower protector that might come up enough to help take some of the

I recently started designing an RC car myself so seeing this is really hopeful. I'm using a 2300Kv drone motor I have laying around which needs quite a lot of stepping down but the first tests look promising. My goal is to have sensors in each wheel to measure rotation and use that to implement some sort of launch control.
