Articulated 1:10 Chassis

Articulated Chassis/Display stand

This is an articulated chassis/display stand for my current (and future) 1:10 scale vehicle models, wheelbase is 313mm. It features a working independent suspension for each wheel. Also front wheel can be turned/steered. This way you can pose the model in case you want to show it some certain scenario.

There is an detailed assembly guide available here:

Updates

18.12.2025

• Updated the print profile, the “L” and “R” markings where mirrored on the rear control arms. Could cause some confusion when assembling, otherwise the parts are identical/functionaly the same.

Different body models requires different spring strength, i.e. depending on how heavy the body is and if weight distribution is 50:50 or not and what material the spring is printed in. There are different spring strengths (2.0, 2.2, 2.4) included in the print profile that can be used to customize.

 For the Catmaw AFV and Armadillo I found these spring strengths to be quite good, (printed in PLA Basic)
