RC 1/14 - Cat 3406 Engine (cover)

thingiverse

I'm back with a 3D model of a Cat 3406 Diesel engine for your RC Truck :) This model is designed so you can easily assemble nearly everything together, although some small parts are glued in place like the turbo or filter. You might be able to screw them into place if you're feeling adventurous. There's a small spot where you can install a small DC motor to bring this engine to life. This model was printed and successfully installed on a Ford Aeromax, so it should work well on other trucks with some modifications. To build this kit, you'll need the following parts: 5 x M3x8mm 4 x M2x6mm 2 x M1.6x4.5mm (to mount the DC motor - maybe M1.5, I'm not 100% sure) 2 x M1.6x9mm Here are some links to the parts you'll need: Motor (6-12 V 300 RPM)*: https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B01BBSXDJ4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Bearings (3 x 6 x 2,5 mm): https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B00ZHSR2QU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Small screws (short ones) : https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B07QPDM7XF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You can also check out the assembly animation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-SXOB8SiBtM And see the functional motor with start-up: https://youtu.be/Fs8VMtHUfPM *It's working pretty well with this speed, but I had to increase the vibration motor output on the MFC-01 Unit to the max and disconnect the vibretion engine because it was too much. But I prefer my fake engine to turn instead of the vibration motor ;). You can choose a different motor, but you'll need to modify the files. P.S. I've also included the Solidworks files if you want to modify or adapt for another truck. Update: 2020-06-09 I've added the files from the hood hinge - see capot-penture.rar or the direct STL files Hinge----
