Repair Rear Axle Spindle For Monster Jam Mega Grave Digger RC Truck- 3d printed

Description: If you own this monster truck, odds are you need to keep at handful of these around! I looked at a few sites trying to buy a replacement, but their prices were outrageous for a 1" piece of plastic that would likely break again anyway! So, I ended up 3d printing a replacement for my son, then when he invariably broke the other side, I decided other people could benefit from this. It's such a fun truck, it's just a little too fragile on these axles. I want this to be a functional solution first and cost effective a close second. If you have any trouble, please contact me and I'll make it right. I'm making these all the time, so if the quantity is ever 0, just give it a while and there'll be more soon (or send me a message)! REAR AXLE reporting for duty He finally broke the rear axle as well. I could only find a $20 oem replacement, so here we are :) This is a new model, very similar to the first. It does fit and has the correct dimensions (including the small screw hole), but it can be *very* tight. This is worst on the metal axle that connects to the gearbox. I'm still tinkering with getting this a little easier; but with some grunt, it does fit! Please also note that because of this, they might look slightly different than the pictures once you receive it. I will include a panhead screw with the front and rear axles, but I have not yet had a chance to find the smaller screw. I'll update when I do! Also, for the rear, I will do my best to print in black or dark gray, unless otherwise requested. It shows more than the front and doesn't look as cool in other colors, in my opinion. ** These are 3d printed using PLA plastic with 100% infill (it's a solid piece of plastic when it's done) and it fits just as well as the original. I've made some revisions to the model, and no longer manually melt the top; giving a better overall finish. I've also found some screws that are the same size and length (but fully threaded), just in case your original is stripped. In working on this, I ended up stripping both screws on both axles of my son's truck since the screw heads are just about as fragile as the axle was! ** These may come out a bit ugly or imperfect, but they are strong and will still fit! I do a 'break test' by hand on every one of these; I've not succeeded yet. I only had success on a test model that was at 40% infill, and even then I had to use a pair of pliers to eventually break it. **THE FIX** The remaining piece of axle should have a small screw about halfway up. Simply remove that screw and slide the piece off. The new one might require some strongarming, but should slide on. Replace the screw you removed, and put the wheel back on. Then -- LET ER RIP!
