OpenRC 4WD Truggy 1:8 Fiberlogy mod

thingiverse

I've always been drawn to making Daniel's project of the 1:10 OpenRC Truggy since I started my adventure with 3D printing. Last year, after finally finding some time to tackle it, I began to wonder if I could create something a little faster, bigger and more durable than the original design. This is when I decided to work on this project. As a hobbyist and 3D printing enthusiast, not a professional designer, I need to admit that my creations might not be perfect, so please bear with me. To make this project affordable, I chose cheap HSP 1/8 parts available on Aliexpress or local RC shops and paired them with the Hobbywing Max8 Combo featuring two 2s LiPo batteries. This setup provides enough power to test whether a 3D printed RC Truggy can be competitive with cars sold in RC shops. After a year of designing, printing, assembling and testing, I've decided to share this file with the 3D printing community. For those familiar with Daniel's original project, assembly will be similar but keep in mind that all files have been completely redesigned, so you won't be able to use any old printed parts - sorry about that. Special thanks go out to Daniel Norre for inspiring me, Guaro3D for the Dodge Challenger body and NiKO2On for the idea on the central differential case. Stay tuned for a manual and screw list soon. I used Fiberlogy filaments PA12 and Fiberflex 30D for printing this project. Update - new HSP part list (version 2 includes sway bar parts).
