THE FIRST EASY TO PRINT RC BUGGY!
Designed with low-end printers in mind.https://youtu.be/ZpdAvby5opg
All parts (except tyres) can be printed in PLA or PETG with no heated bed.
Update 22/04/18: tweaked diff housing parts to reduce friction.
All printed in high quality rigid.ink filament - see their filament range and comparison here:https://rigid.ink/pages/filament-comparison-guide
Features:
Oversized drivetrain is brushless-compatible when printed in PETG.
Drivetrain runs on ball bearings.
Full independent suspension.
Low-slung chassis is stable at high speeds and off road.
Multiple chassis configurations possible*.
All stl files are in the .zip download
Extra parts:
Lots of M3 bolts (listed in assembly manual)
20mm diameter brushless inrunner motor.
Brushless ESC
13g metal gear servo
2-3s LiPo battery pack
RC radio system.
The tyres should be printed in a TPU filament. If you cannot print TPU, the buggy is compatible with standard 1/16 rear wheels and tyres. For the front, print the 1 piece wheel and tyre, then stretch a piece of bike inner tube over it.
I recommend printing all parts in PETG for better durability. I have had issues with PLA gears melting with brushless power.
Shocks:
The car is compatible with standard 1/16 scale shocks. I have also included 3D printable ones, but these only work with PETG plastic and have no damping.
*For better handling, you can remove the motor guard and rotate the entire rear end 180 degrees to move the motor inboard. All the mounting holes line up the other way and the top plate attaches where the motor guard did. Finally, swap the diff box rear cover for the other one and you're done. This moves the COG a bit further forward and should reduce understeer by improving front traction, in addition to protecting the motor. However, it does cut down on space for electronics.
