I modeled my Bearcat SS and decided to provide the files for plastic parts so one can repair and revive a broken car. No files are providen for shocks or metal parts.

**EDIT : forgot to precise that Hirobo original screws are conical. Holes are positioned properly but I highly suggest to adapt holes to the type of screw you are willing to use for the build (either by drilling holes after the print, either before doing the print.**EDIT END

  • I indicated in the file name the elements requiring a mirror in addition during the printing, or when mulitple parts are present on the car.
  • I designed an adaptor based on some indication proposed on rc10talk to allow the use of two flanged 6x10x2.5 bearings instead of the regular 6x15x5 used to guide rear wheels axle
  • All belt pulleys are providen in MXL version currently. I plan to provide a Powergrip GT2 version later
  • The right front knuckle axle separated from the knuckle while the car was dissassembled. I do have new ones, but as I wanted to provide the possibility of repair, I designed frnt knuckles allowing to use a Bolt M4x20 as front axle. Stl providen are untested and designed in two version for M2 and M3 pivot balls
  • for the servo horn: please note that I did not finish it as it will require adaptaption to the servo you are using. Please define the right spline before printing
  • Bonnet is not the exact replication of the bonnet for Bearcat SS, and would work for Tomcat and Bearcat as well if you are lacking of a bodyshell

You can find more details on this project on Tamiyabase, RC10talk, Tamiyclub and rc-vintage.com (french) : a thread exist on each of those forums to detail down the activities...

As usual, this was an extensive work. my paypal account is on my Thingiverse profile if you are willing to contribute to other projects like this one or offer me a coffee...

Happy Hirobo Tomcat/Bearcat repairs!

*** EDIT 19/10/2022 : Updated long part for the roll cage (was missing angle between the front part and the rest) and bumper which required chamfer for the 3 fixation screws

EDIT 23/10/2022 : chassis has been reviewed as the position of the rear arms support was wrong. The change introduce some toe-in in a similar fashion as the original chassis.
