RC Mini Loader

There are only 44 pieces required to build this project, making it relatively easy to understand. The parts list includes screws of various sizes: M3, M5, and M8. A small video showcasing the assembly process is also provided, weighing in at just 2.8kg (6.17LB). The printer's working area measures 18x18 mm minimum, while the overall size of the device is 400mm x 270mm x 260mm. To achieve a textured, aged metal look, I used plastic PLA and applied a coat of paint first, followed by a layer of anti-gravel textured paint. Finally, I added a standard coat of paint to complete the effect. The motors used in this project are high-powered, but may compromise on speed; you can find them at HobbyKing's website. A big servo motor is also required, which can be found at HobbyKing, while a smaller servo motor is available from the same source. Alternatively, you can find similar motors on AliExpress. A 12MM Hex connector is necessary for connecting the motors to the speed controllers, and can be purchased on eBay. The ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) is also sourced from HobbyKing. The speed controllers are connected in parallel to the receiver, with two channels dedicated to controlling the speed of the motors. I use a Turnigy 9X transmitter and module 8ch receiver, which can be found at HobbyKing's website. However, it's worth noting that this setup may not be necessary, and more affordable alternatives exist. Configuring the console can be complex, but there are many online resources available to assist with this process. Each country has its own forum dedicated to aircraft modeling, where you can find helpful guides and tutorials. For example, the international forum on RC Groups provides a wealth of information on configuring remotes.
