3D printed RC truck V3

myminifactory

The 3D printed RC truck, version 3 is finally here after roughly a year of development. This almost fully printable RC truck features a gearbox and AWD drivetrain - each differential works like the real thing but you can swap out the internals with "truckv3_axle_difflock" for locked diffs with better traction. You've got two axle options to choose from: Axle1 has dual rear tires, while Axle2 has single rear tires and two rim choices. The frame can be printed in 2 or 4 pieces depending on your print bed size - use the "split" files if you have a small one. Besides a ton of filament, all you need to build this beast is screws/nuts, bearings, and electronics. This was a massive project so please let me know if anything's missing or unclear! You can find assembly videos for most parts on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/mrcrankyfaceprojects Everything except the mudflaps and tires can be printed in PLA plastic - printing the drivetrain in PETG/co-polyester/Nylon will make it way more durable. The tires and mudflaps, however, need to be printed in Ninjaflex or similar material. You can also use Tamiya 1:14 scale truck tires if you prefer. This RC truck needs a lot of screws to assemble - I've listed the total below: 8 x M4x20, 37 x M3x10, 15 x M3x10 (counter-sunk), 72 x M3x16, 27 x M3x8 (grubscrews), 22 x 6700zz bearings, 16 x M3 nuts, 2 x M4 nuts, and 3 x 18mm long, 4mm rods. And 2 x 80mm long, 4mm rods. I've done my best but these might not be 100% accurate so it's always a good idea to buy a few screws extra. You'll also need rubber bands for holding the battery in place, cable ties for cable management and securing components, and super glue for assembling the flatbed and attaching mudflaps to the fenders.
