3D printed RC truck V3: Stock Frame

thingiverse

Finally nailed this one down, been teaching myself yet another video editing software so the video itself took absolute ages to make. This is the 'default' frame which lets you mount the driven front axle and a single rear axle - dual or single tyre. You can also use this frame with just the V2 driveshafts and V3 rear axle if you only want a rear wheel drive truck, I'm planning to make a solid front axle as well for this purpose. Plans are in the works to release different layouts of these later if I'm pleased with the V3 platform. Check out the assembly video for this and other parts over at my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/c/MrCrankyfaceProjects. You can use the V2 gearbox and cab for this frame but the gearbox will probably skip/break if overloaded, works fine for driving around though. Next step is to work out a beefier gearbox which can handle all the grip the AWD system provides. Here's what you'll need: 8x M3x13-16 for the shocks, 10x M3x13-16 for the front axle linkages, 7x M3x13-16 for the rear axle linkages, and 2x M3 nuts for front and rear axle. You'll also need 2x M3x13 for the center differential mount, 2x 4mm diameter, 80mm long rods for the frame connection, 2x M4x20 for the frame connection, 2x M4 nuts for the frame connection, and 2xM4x10-20 for the servo.

Print Settings: Printer - The Frankenstein, Rafts - No, Supports - No, Resolution - 0.2, Infill - 30%, Notes - Print it upside down without supports. If you have a 20cm bed or bigger, you can print the regular "xxxxxframe1.stl", place it diagonally if it gets tight. If you have a smaller bed you should be able to fit xxxxxframe1A and B instead, then glue them along with a 4mm diameter, 22mm long steel pin once printed.
