RC Ape car https://youtu.be/ZenZLdFCOrE The project, of inspiration only, is developed from the idea of the X-Rider Flamingo. Having several components already, I decided to try to make it with 3D printed parts. Initially the design was based on a fully printed locked differential, but it was very difficult to drive and was not stable at higher speeds, so I decided to use the HSP's open differential by buying the rear parts that make up the drive. Among the files, however, I uploaded a step file with the source of all the parts for the old design. Obviously some fundamental parts change, the body (included), the rear axle (included) etc, other parts do not, for example the shell is not included. If someone wants to continue with the old design, they can do it from there. The HSP parts I bought from aliexpress, they are cheap and work well for this purpose. I recommend this seller because it has all the pieces you need and you only spend on one shipment: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2667003?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.bc363696wZWvY6 By entering the HSP codes you will find everything easily. Of all the files I have also uploaded the step files so anyone can edit, improve and share. The shell isn't exactly pretty, maybe someone can draw something nicer. In the info.docx file you will find all the parts to print, those to buy with the HSP codes, other necessary parts, photos to help you assemble everything. I tried the 540 45T motor but it wasn't very fast, with the 21T it's much more fun. Pinion 23T. The battery I use is a 2S 1300mAh, but under the axles of the fork there is also a 2S 2200mAh. The servo motor is an inexpensive MG995. The rear lights are compatible with 5 mm led ring. Some considerations: if you like the project and want to realize it by purchasing the HSP parts, the motor, the ESC, remote control, wheels etc, consider buying the real X-Rider Flamingo, on aliexpress or bangood it is about 140 euros.
