Mostly Free RC Buggy 1/10th Scale

pinshape

This project has been my top priority for quite some time now. It's finally reached the stage where I'm ready to share it with others. My goal wasn't to create something entirely new; instead, I wanted to hone my skills in modeling and planning complex objects that can function dynamically. ***** UPDATE 26 NOV 2017 ***** The rear bulkhead and center brace have been modified for easier printing. Any updated files will be labeled "v2". ***** UPDATE: 1 OCT 2017 ***** I've divided the chassis into four parts, each connected by a joining plate. The plan is to secure these parts together tightly. I'm currently working on incorporating a slot that will allow me to add some stock aluminum or steel as a stiffener, making the entire structure more durable. Split Pan: S Pan Front/Rear, S Pan Joiner, S Pan Wing L/R - You'll need 3x6 or 3x4mm machine-type hexes to join the plates. This is an off-road buggy built at 1/10th scale. I have no idea how well it will perform, but here it is. It incorporates some of the more durable components from existing RC cars. Currently, my 3D printer needs a slight rebuild; once that's done, you can expect to see photos of the final product. ROD ENDS - TRAXXAS 5347 CONNECTING RODS - 3 MM DIAMETER (LENGTHS TO BE DETERMINED) TRANSMISSION - AXIAL SCX-10 (ORIGINAL) REAR DRIVE SHAFT - TRAXXAS (SLASH/RUSTLER/BANDIT) REAR BEARINGS - 4 X 5X11X4MM FRONT BEARINGS - STANDARD IN WHEEL BEARINGS SHOCKS - TRAXXAS SLASH FRONT SHOCKS X 4 NOTE: I'll provide a detailed hardware breakdown and exploded view once I've reached that stage. For now, have fun experimenting with it!
