Welcome everyone !!
I designed parts that help to upgrade all WPL trucks and that parts can be found here:
https://www.thingiverse.com/Adrian202/designs
If You want to sell it just ask me, I know people print it and sell it to friends but if Someone want to sell it like here:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112824235258?ul_noapp=true
Just ask because I can post links in My movies and people ask me if I can print that but My printer is still dead :(
Also parts to modify and some beta design are posted here:
https://www.tinkercad.com/users/ijdXrBIYp5t-adrian202gt
But leafsprings are still not tested and can't work on current computer so that design still wait :)

Hi Adrian, welcome alongImage
Funnily enough, when I found the servo holder on eBay I messaged the seller to ask him to remove it, his answer is below.

WOW and that is stealing :D:D
Funny part is that I can change license and he will not be allow to sell that :D:D
Also if He sell motor mount He don't tell that is mirrored !!

Could I show this picture of conversation on Facebook ??

I uploaded new versions of My designs !!
Dual motor mount for all WPL version v3 (mirrored so motors are on same side as shafts of wheels)
and
servo mount for all WPL v2 (I removed one hole and reduced cover thickness from 4mm to 3mm so that will print faster now and will reduce material needed to print that ::) )

I want to thank You all for telling me about that.
License will be change stop rude people like that but still allow normal people sell it :D
Also if You sell that in some country send me link and I will put that in videos and design description for people that don't have printer :)
I'm not bad person and if You write I will let You sell it and wan't take money from You for that !!
(for so small parts that would need to be 1 cent :D:D )
Also for interested people I work on working leafspring design with pivoting part and that design is here:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2791343
in description You all can find link to parts BUT !! i never test that and that may not work !! also there are missing shorter leafs !!
I also think this suspension is to high but I need to make My printer to work to confirm that or a "test rabbit" to test that for me :D

this is probably the last update ill post here,because the size of the lil jeep doesnt match the scale of our tanks.....and the dirrection this jeep is headed is more of a non scale crawler instead of a cool acurate model.but my lil test was simply trying to use a bigger printed body with the wpl axels.the wpl axels are just to wide to fit in a jeep of the correct scale needed......but with a little work i can narrow the axels to suit the proper size body.ill save that for a future project.

im gonna go try to go into tinker cad,upload adrians gear box,split it in 2 and create the gear box i need.i basically need the 2 brass gearboxes even across from each other to use it in this tiny jeep.but overall its comming out good.
i dont know how to cad....so i guess i better learn.
right now everything hot glued together.

(edit)
just redesigned the mount that i need,and learned tinkercad in 30 mins.
added extra mounting feet.
lets hope it prints and fits perfect.
if all goes well ill design a skid plate to hide all that uglyness.
heres the remix gearbox if theres any intrest.

Tinkercad is simple when You play a little also you can edit My files on Your account and just un group it and see how I made that but sometimes grouping need to be made in specific order
