3Drift - a DIY 1/10 scale RC drift car by 3Drift

Last crawled date: 5 years, 3 months ago
I present to you a DIY RC drift car, the 3Drift, built from scratch. All parts are modeled and designed by me. Inspired by many different part designs from variuos rc cars.
DISCLAIMER this is a WIP! If you are looking for a polished and well handling 3d printed RC drift car, this is not the one (yet). This is not fully complete, but is at the stage that you can produce a driving and drifting rc car. Some parts may require redoes at different print settings, and maybe even slight redesigns to suit your parts. Some holes may also require drilling. It will be updated, as I, or you, find problems with it, and hopefully with your help this can become a fully polished build!
This project started from a relatively simple nitro to rc car conversion, but soon became a full on custom drift car. I wanted to buy one for a long time, and then I discovered some designs of 3d printed ones, but the problem was all of them required buying parts from many different places, and used parts from variuos cars.
This car uses only HSP parts, all of which can be bought from one place (aliexpress). You will of course need a drivetrain: motor, esc, battery, RX/TX and servo, and I will list ones you can get from aliexpress below. However they can be bought at your local rc shop, depending on your budget, as these are pretty universal rc parts.
I am currently using a brushed 35T motor, with a brushed ESC, a hsp receiver and transmitter, and if you are on a budget, I recommend you do the same, as this is the cheapest option. The battery is a GensAce 5500Mah Bashing 2S Lipo, a bit overkill and heavy for a drift car, but I wanted to maximize drive time as much as I could. You can use smaller and lighter batteries, sliding the battery tray back, to maintain the weight balance, if needed.
I do not have a gyro installed, but if your budget allows it, I would definitely recommend it as this is a RWD driftcar.
As for wheels you can use any 1/10 scale drift rims and tires, but I have modeled these custom rims here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4279969.
I am still using a few parts that are not 3D printed (Hubs, some steering components and rear diff casing). Currently working on these parts.
Parts list:
Diff HSP 02024
Driveshaft HSP 08061
Shocks 75mm adjustable 1/10 shocks
Hubs HSP 94111 94123 94107 94108
Steering HSP 02025 02075
Steering linkage HSP 06016
Axles HSP 02033
