Description

I have seen multiple ideas of this design floating around the internet and I loved it and wanted to share my own.

What's Needed:

  • 1x 608 bearing
  • 1x M3x8mm button head screw
  • Double-sided tape or command strips
  • Toy Car
  • Real Car

Depending on the life your car lives, you may not want to use PLA. If it is frequently exposed to the sun in high temperatures I would suggest printing in PETG, ABS, ASA, or PC. Please consider your environment and select the proper filament before printing.

How does this work?

  • Inertia: As your car turns, the toy car resists changes in motion due to its inertia. This resistance can cause it to sway, especially when the motion of the car is not uniform.
  • Centrifugal Force in Turns: When you turn the car, the toy car experiences a centrifugal force pushing it outward from the center of the turn. This force causes it to sway laterally.

Assembly

Insert 608 bearing into the mount
Slide the rail into the track. The tolerances are very tight, you may need to GENTLY tap in the rail. There is only one opening on the track, one side has stoppers for the rail. Both sides of the rail should be flush with the track when properly inserted.
Add the washer and drill the M3x8mm screw into the rail. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! Make sure the track has a smooth, free range of motion. Add double-sided tape to bottom of mount.
If you are using thin command strips, you may need to add a couple of strips so it sticks to the track.
