Trekker / McRC Rear Lockout Project

[Fungi]

I wanted to try making a lockout for the rear. This uses stock axle parts, I'm not making axles. There is no shock mount because there will be a link and shock mount plate that mounts to the lower link mount with a spacer. The final image shows it with the shelf removed from the axle. I will print it and test it for strength.

These are awesome! This is a much needed product, the H.R. ones for the crawler are nice, but we need them for the Trekker. If they prove to be strong enough, and make it into production, I will definately order several sets! Ok, now that you've designed these though, what about some for the Redcat axle? I know you mainly design for the Trekker, but a set for the Redcat axle would be really cool too. I would probably order even more of those, if you made them.

Bout Time I also would be interested in a set for the Sumo also. hope they hold up to your standards keep up the new products.

That bottom pic looks super clean. Can't wait to see a pic of these installed with your shock/link plates.

Rob, I ordered a sumo to see what I can do with one. Mike, I think this will work. Town, Here you go. I will print some out and report back.

That's really great news Jim! It would be cool to have some Redcat lockouts. When you get yours in you'll have to throw those axles in a rig with a Losi transmission. The fast rigs can be fun! Just be careful of driveshafts breaking!

Here's a low profile version of the link/shock brackets.

I started a print job. I will have some parts in a couple hours.

[Fungi]

I made a couple sets to test. They fit perfectly, very snug. Strong as heck too... I will cut out the link/shock plates add some flat black paint and post up pics. I will get a vendor page for them and we are good to go.

Jim have u ever thought of making the link/shock one piece with the rear lockout? It would completely remove the need for the rear screw on the axle that secures the lock sense the 2nd secure point would be the old link mount?

[dubfreak]

that is so nice will need to make an order of these and wheels and and and ....

[Fungi]

Slam, I am reluctant to make it all one piece for a couple reasons. The panel method gives me more flexibility because it's easy to make a custom laser cut part. The cost of the 3D printed part goes way up if you add this panel to the part.

Thanks Dubfreak!

So here it is installed on the Goat. Nice Ass!

[mitchponton]

Need these for my build!

[Fungi]

Hi guys. I will have them ready to go by Monday.

[Fungi]

They are ready to go.

Here's the vendor page

I decided to give the front axle the same treatment.

[Slambaam]

Once u finish this, ill buy one of ur scale chassis

[nigelpheron]

That knuckle tiller is awesome.

[MikeChino]

Is the front end stuff ready? i want to get a few things but will wait to get it all shipped together.

[Menace Kustoms]

Could someone explain what the lockout does? I'm a newb, I know.
