Our first custom-part project started with a simple idea: replace the original Dualtron Thunder 2 footrest with a more distinctive part designed for track use.
Measure before you design
A custom part starts with accurate measurements: width, height, thickness and, most importantly, mounting-hole spacing. It is the least glamorous step, but the most important. A hole that is just a few millimetres out can make the part impossible to fit.
Iterating in Fusion 360
The model is parametric: every dimension is a variable. We were able to try different proportions, adjust the height and thickness, and reposition the mounting holes without redrawing the part.
Some versions were rejected because they just did not look right. A part must be functional, but it should also look right on the scooter.
Design decisions
- Angles chanfreinés pour un rendu plus agressif, inspiré de la compétition.
- Rainure sur la tranche pour intégrer une bande LED, visible sur le bord de la pièce.
- Perçages repris des cotes réelles de la machine.
Next step
The prototype. Il permettra de valider l’ajustement et le confort avant d’envisager une version définitive, et peut-être de la proposer un jour dans notre future boutique.
