17 mm Socket Handle for RC Car Wheels

17 mm Impact Socket Handle for RC Car Wheels

I always wanted to have one of those fancy colourful impact driver sockets to tighten my 1:8 RC car wheels. Thats why i made this handle to accept a impact socket. It just feels great in your hand because of the weight and rigidity. 

The cover is made out of TPU to feel a bit nicer to the touch and also to protect it, should you drop it. If you don't have TPU on hand, you can also use PLA or ABS to print the cover.

The body itself is made of PLA with 4 wall lines, so its pretty robust. 

Hardware needed:

• M5 x 50mm Bolt 
• M5 Nut
• 17mm Impact Socket
• Threadlock (optional)

I used a "Geodore" brand socket, but others should still work fine. Here's one on Amazon (not tested but looks like it should fit!).
