Tarmo5 MODS: reinforce all the frequently breaking parts
Lots of improvements and modifications I did on the tarmo5 after many months of intensive crash tests.

Fills the Tarmo5 out perfectly! Also got to try Slicer 2.6...
Love it!
As an addendum: I printed this in TPU - crashworthiness improved! :) (edited)
@Summons Very good idea to use TPU!
Please let me know if you are fully satisfied with TPU printing.
I will probably also use TPU for my next built
@Liouma TPU is neat stuff!
I have had great success with the shell, bumpers and wings for the Tarmo5 and other cars. Makes them WAY more crashworthy. I turtled my Tarmo5 twice yesterday and flipped it hard end over end - no damage.
Be wary of supports though. Ensure they are beefy enough if they are tall. The floppyness of TPU can work against supports that are too weak.
I have also played a bit with TPU suspension arms. I have a trial TPU hub, lower rear arm and more. Too much and the geometry goes bad as the TPU flexes too much... I have some playing to do!
Updated on 2023/03/21 : modified the wing and body holder with TPU pieces easyer to replace if broken
