Center Differential for EXPLORER-MK1 3D PRINTED 1:10 RC CHASSIS

Notes:

• I can not recommend PLA for this. It started deforming during torture testing with a drill.
• Every surface that moves and touches another surface should be greased.
• The differential cover should go towards the back of the car.
• The axle shafts differ slightly. The rear one is marked on the end to tell them apart.
• There should be no play between the axle shafts and the diff housing.
• The differential should run smooth without stuttering after turning it a few times by hand. 
• This also removes the need to print the gears with supports.
• The attached images explain the assembly.

BOM:

• 1x M3 18mm pin, threaded rod or bolt cut to length
• 2x M3 16mm countersunk screw
• 2x M3 8mm countersunk screw (20mm for optional axle shaft)

"Happy printing, and God bless, my friend."
