Summary

Needed a lower control arm for my sons HobbyKing Desert Fox buggy.

The part was backordered so I designed a functional and strong replacement.

Post-Printing

I drilled out the pin holes (NOTE: inner and outer are not the same diameter) and drilled and tapper the shock mount hole, outer pin retainer and sag-adjuster.

How I Designed This

This part was designed to be a strong replacement for the stock part.

Designed in AutoCAD 2007.
