Default Shapeway's steering question

Is anyone running the 3d printed stuff for steering off of shapeways? I am at a toss between the HD version or the version that moves the battery to the tray. If anyone is running it will you please chime in? I already bought the mount to run an SCX transmission, but haven't committed to using it yet.

This one is non HD but moves the battery to the tub

I don't have either but I have moved my battery and in my opinion that is the second most important mod after fixing the junk stock steering.

I have the shapeways steering suspension set up and i like it. Is quitte strong. And love the better steering geometry. Also better damping. Altough i think the stand up shocks would even work better. One mayor benefit why i choose for this one instead of Irie. Is because shapeways i located in Holland. So cheap shipping for me and no extra tax.

I use my TH for rock racing and bashing. Not really for crawling.

Wes thanks for the info, I think I am going to give it a go. I was just concerned about the whole 3d printed stuff not being strong enough to survive.

Do you like the gmade shocks? I had a set on a SCX and I wasnt that impressed with them, but mine were the ones with piggy backs

Yes really like the shocks, the springs are quite stiff but on my TH it works great and was also adviced by scorched parts.

I have rsd piggy bags on my 6x6. WesleyRoy's 6*6 mad max truck

Question about this setup, do you have to remove the cage to replace the battery?

No, but you will have to remove the interior

I just ordered the shapeways battery mount. But still like to have a driver figure. So going to sort out something. Maybe a little driver that sits on the gearbox.
