Very Specific Objects are a lot of fun, so here's another one.
If you find yourself purchasing a ~~cheapish Amaon RC car~~ Very Fancy DOUBLE E 1:12 Scale Large Remote Control Car Monster Trucks for Boys with Head Lights 4WD Off All Terrain RC Car Rechargeable Vehicles Xmas Gifts for Kids only for its spring perches to get broken one by one, well - I've got a solution for you.
Printables link if anyone thinks this object might apply to them.
Looks sharp.
May I suggest designing all the other parts, preferably before they break, so that you have a Car of Theseus on your hands?
(Maybe also post those and all the BoM…?)
Amusingly, one of the suspension links does keep popping out of its socket...
Might as well just print a new car.

Check out the Tarmo project. I've been wanting to put one together for a while.
I might have to. Nephew is getting old enough for “real” RC cars. (As apposed to the cheap things.)
My first was an RC-10t, I was seven and that thing still takes names at the track. It can still run over my brothers rc10, too.
Why yes, I’m the younger brother. How did you know?
Haha! I had a Mini T as my first one. It was a fun little car!
