I think the 3D printing / RC community needs to come up with a quality competitive open source 1/10 scale RC buggy and SCT. I just bought a small CNC to go along with my 3D printer. I'm planning on building a jet prop RC boat with aluminum hull for creek bashing.
Love your channel, I am just getting into RC racing seriously. I have always loved RC since I was a youngin but am old enough to afford it now lol. But I have started out in the SCT class and love it. Keep up the good work brother
Nice print! I've printed some parts for my RC F1 using abs, these held up just as well as the stock 3racing arms and parts but I did make everything oversize around the pivots especially. One thing you could try is to make it a more solid shape but hollow as you can print hollow parts with just a support structure and the skin is what takes most of the load anyway. Molded parts can't really do really thick walls or hollow parts due to plastic shrinkage and tool design but with FDM you really can make parts which are functional even when using ABS and modifying the design to suit. I can sent you a pic of the parts I did if you'd like. ABS is what tamiya make (or used to make) a lot of parts from so its possible. Nylon if you can get it to stick to the bed and print reliably would be ideal but I havent had much luck and the ABS print material so much cheaper you really can experiment with many designs cheaply
The problem when making arms that soft, screws. PR Racing has durable soft arms like that and while the durability is good, you have to change them after wrenching a few times because the screws no longer hold in their place. Or end up using ca glue so they don't back out and even then the glue doesn't work anymore. I dunno, i'd prefer molded parts for certain areas like arms, hubs etc.
Hey Jason, have u tried to print with just nylon ? I made a rear wing ,front arm, bumper and rim for my mbx8 . I'm thinking ABS or nylon but still waiting for my printer to arrive.
I've seen some rc owners they made out of TPU Flexible Filament I'm looking to buy a 3d printer and make parts for my ftx ramraider I'm always broking parts
Nice job appreciate the insite I look at your content but did not see a side by Side comparison 1/10 2 wd buggy I need one on "limited " budget if you could only have one car for one both dirt and carpet ?
It will be very interesting to see what happens if this trend picks up...i.e. everyone has a printer in the pits and just prints parts instead of buying the parts. If the suppliers can't make money they may not see the business case to make some cars
eco8gator I think it's the future. At least it's another way to justify the cost of buying a 3D printer, or even a CNC machine. Open source is the best
I can justify the cost by not buying one lol. Not sure why people feel the need to go out and buy a 3d printer when it's still cheaper to buy the parts already made. Unless you are making things like the Viking diff station, shock tower guards or small stuff, but making parts like arms and hubs..easier to buy those off the shelf
That's blowing my mind on radness. So many RC car things to do with that! holy moly!
Great stuff. Thanks for all the videos.
Loving the videos. Keep them coming
This maybe a new break through, but a little pricey for a pound! Thanks for sharing 👍

Make videos of the build process, please!

Bulldog Mur Have you tried driving a buggy, fell in love on my first lap and sold my sc10!
Sweet, time to buy a 3d printer !!
Awesome Bro. When are you coming back to Dirt Burners in Michigan
Fierce rc is making eb410 shock tower out of poly-carbonate not sure if from printing or cnc sheets though

Way to go. I am looking to 3dprint sct wheels.
3D printing has helped us to create a bunch of custom parts for the RC semi trucks.
the only resin i ant got 3d printer is i thought it was only from junk making lol love this video
some people might like the flex. arms flex works similar to tire side-wall flex. keep tire more planted (grip) but less response.
i like it daily uploads
Great video! Any recommendations on graphite or carbon plate material?

what do you think about the JQ black edition buggy???
What is your recommendation on a 3D printer or what do you use?
tried printing tires?
im thinking about making some of my own
I've seen some rc owners they made out of TPU Flexible Filament

Proshops have a 3D printer... print parts licensed to them
as customers need them?

The Steele b6 for sure
The Steele: Ditto on the B6
B6 hands down
sweet thats killer
What 3d printer and software are you using?
Steven Cook. I use a $160 Anet A8 3D printer, and fusion 360 > Meshmixer > Cura (all free software)
TPU-70D is the best 👌
If you don't know about check out thingiverse it has plenty of designs people have uploaded for a range of rc cars, copters, boats, and planes.
