OpenRC 1:10 Formula 1 car

myminifactory

Please respect the license under which this project is released! Thank you! This is the OpenR/C Formula 1 car, the third generation OpenR/C car that focuses on simplicity. You can print everything in PLA except the tires, which are done in NinjaFlex. Of course, you can print it in any material you like, but for those who want to print a car but only have PLA at hand, this is the project for you! Documentation (not complete due to technical problems) can be found here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6748864/OpenRC%20F1%20Documentation_V01.zip A note on the servo saver: it's designed to be used with PLA. The upper and lower BOM applies force similar to a spring in a conventional servo saver. Of course, the pressure depends on the type of material used, infill, etc. Fine tuning can be done by adding washers under or over the servo saver. The "Main Turning Vane's" needs to have its lower part trimmed using an exacto knife. Then slide it into the chassis plate and push it over the Lid, and it should snap into place! Parts that need support added: Front Spoiler.stl, Front.stl, Rear Rim.stl, Rear Wing.stl, Servo Saver Lower.stl Things to buy: Okay, obviously you need some filament, which you'll get from your favorite filament supplier. You also need M3 screws and nuts, which you can get at your local hardware store. Check the BOM list for what to get. Some bearings are needed as well; check the BOM list or buy a kit from FastEddyBearings.com: http://www.fasteddybearings.com/openrc-f1-sealed-bearing-kit/ Last but not least, you need electronics, and here's what I got, all from HobbyKing: ESC and motor combo: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__65982__TrackStar_ROAR_approved_1_10th_Stock_Class_Brushless_ESC_and_Motor_Combo_21_5T_.html Battery: http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__23134__Turnigy_nano_tech_Shorty_4200mah_2S2P_65_130C_Hardcase_Lipo_Pack_ROAR_APPROVED_.html Micro Servo: This is what I bought, and I think it's not very good. Please let me know if you have a better recommendation. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7472__Turnigy_8482_TGY_1800A_Servo_1_5kg_0_10sec_8g.html Transmitter and Receiver (I use something else, but this is a "cheap" alternative): http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__83360__HobbyKing_174_8482_HK_GT2B_3CH_2_4GHz_Transmitter_and_Receiver_w_Rechargable_Li_ion_Battery.html If you're new to this whole R/C hobby, you'll also need a LiPo charger for the battery.
