Saw this. Love that they did this!

Re: New 3D Printed Engine Parts from Element
 

Yeah, it's cool! I was shocked when I found out!

Already have my 3D printer fired up!:)

Big thanks to Element RC for offering this!

Re: New 3D Printed Engine Parts from Element
 

They are on the ball and I am happy to see this as well.

Also, Aaron from Element said that this will work with the IFS, but it will have to be modified.

Element is working on an IFS version to be released at a later date.

Re: New 3D Printed Engine Parts from Element
 

Pretty cool!

Looks like they couldn't find the right radiator hose at the parts store, very unsightly. Working up a quick 90 degree adapter would fix this up though.

Re: New 3D Printed Engine Parts from Element
 

What body is the engine installed in?

Re: New 3D Printed Engine Parts from Element
 

That's awesome, downloaded!

I wonder how well that block will fit between my wheels wells, guess there is only one way to find out.

Re: New 3D Printed Engine Parts from Element
 

Ha Ha! Yeah, I agree. I'm going to attempt to draw up one and print one out for mine. Still in the process of learning Fushion 360, but I don't think it should be too hard.


Not sure. This pic is from Element. I think it looks like the RC4WD Blazer body.


It doesn't look to be all that wide. It may fit. I'm thinking about fitting one in my VS4-10 PRO since the servo setup is about the same.

Re: New 3D Printed Engine Parts from Element
 

This is very cool. I still don't own an Element, but I have to admit they are going full force into this segment of RC and they're killing it.

I love the wire insulation radiator hose idea even if the routing isn't realistic.

Re: New 3D Printed Engine Parts from Element
 

You should change that then. "thumbsup"

I bought the kit version and while not perfect, it's such a well done truck. The fit and finish is classic Team Associated which is always top notch.

Plus, it climbs so well. The only thing I have added is the SSD brass knuckles for some front weight bias down low. This thing crawls so well and that's after going to 75mm shocks and using 1.55 x 4.19 Pitbulls.

Re: New 3D Printed Engine Parts from Element
 

The print turned out great!

I’ll post more pics of it in my Enduro build thread after I add some paint and get it installed. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a9ee0120c3.jpg

I printed everything out, but I will likely have to make the block and radiator solids again to modify them for my very modified Element. I have no holes for the radiator to mount to, and it interferes with the mounting of the body.

Re: New 3D Printed Engine Parts from Element
 

I went back and took a look at your build. (Great build by the way!;-)) Your servo setup looks similar to mine. My winch servo sits a bit higher than my steering servo like yours.

I made a simple block in Fushion that I glued in to take up the space over top the steering servo.

Yup, was thinking about making a spacer for the steering servo as well, the one you made is nice and clean.
How are you holding everything in place?

Re: New 3D Printed Engine Parts from Element
 

Thanks! I had to keep it simple because I'm still a noob at Fushion 360!:ror:

I used a very thin piece of servo tape on top of each servo to hold the engine in place.
