Great review. I'm building the hardtop Landy. Just finished printing the parts today and about halfway done with the assembly.
Sweet! Enjoy the build!
Nice and honest review! A few hints/ tips from a Rancher owner: use higher temps when printing the drivetrain parts in PLA - around 220-230°C depending on the filament - to improve layer adhesion. Also: repairing/maintenance is not as complicated as you have described. E.g: you can drop the whole gearbox/motor by undoing 8 screws if I remember correctly from my Rancher (the center piece at the bottom, the two screws that hold the gearbox/motor and one cardan joint to get it out). You can take out and disassemble the gearbox in a couple of minutes, been there, done that :) For the lights: there are quite easy mods on thingiverse, especially the front lights, rears are a bit tricky because of the limited space. Also quite important: there is a very active, enjoyable and helpful facebook community for the 3dsets cars!
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for this review. I got me the model 6 and just ordered the fastener, bearings and servo kit :) I'm very much looking forward to start the build!
Very cool man, its a super fun project. Best of luck with it!
Ah they have a kit now for the hardware and electronics? Gathering all those what's half the job
Thanks for the video. Great review!
Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed your review. We'll done.
Thanks man!
Good video, nice review of the Rancher. I've spent the last several months building one for a friend several states away so I have had to go the bulletproof option but I have had the trans in and out numerous times getting everything right. You should only have to pull the two screws on the trans, the two screws for the dash and maybe the 4 screws for the skidplate (had to pull the skid to fasten the driveshafts after the fact) to pull the trans out. Have you seen 3d sets Model 7 Buggy? It might be right up your alley :)
Thanks for the tips! The buggy is definitely on the list to build. Hope I can get to it soon.
Hello friend, I already built mine, it was a six-month process, it was fun and the end result is great
six months ??! Holy s@~t! is it because you took it easy or it does take that long to print?
Glad to hear you got it done!
Definitely does not take that long to print. Maybe a week.
The impressions were not very long, it took how long it took for all the components to arrive, screws, shock-absorbing wheels and electronics
@@nahual04 really depends where you order from. We sell kits at www.RCprinter.com that include motor,screws,bearings,servos and our shipping is 4-8 days to North America but you'll have to source the rest yourself. Many people use AliExpress or banggood but shipping can take months. If you can find stuff at your local hobby shop that'd be the best but Amazon and eBay can work well too depending where you're from.
if I were to send you a bunch of pictures of my jeep ( inside and outside) would you be able to design and print it? If not do you recommend anyone who you like for rc car? Great video!
Hey Holly, you're really going to want a 3D Printer if you're in the market for one of these things. Parts WILL break and it wouldn't be a great experience if you couldn't get replacements easily. I'd recommend getting an Ender 3 V2 and learning to print it yourself, its really not that hard and we have build kits here: rcprinter.com/products/3d-sets-rancher-build-kits! I don't know of anyone who would 3D Print a custom Jeep for ya. To price it out, non-printed parts are going to be a couple hundred bucks and you'd have to buy a copy of the print files from 3DSets and then the printing time is going be weeks of continuous print time and filament and then the build time is a day or two of work plus painting all your customizations so the cost someone would have to charge would be quite high. I think if you found someone who would be willing to do it you'd be looking at a price tag starting at maybe $750 US and going up from there ... and then you'd still have the fixing it when it breaks issue :-/
Great video and project. Have you seen or done anything with their buggy?
I haven't tried the buggy yet but it looks super fun. I look forward to trying it out soon.
@@rcprinter can you document building process? I can't decide between Landy and Buggy
@@SylvesterBartos I'll try. I actually did a recording of my whole 3dsets rancher build but the video quality turned out so terrible I couldn't use it.
The buggy is a faster RWD vehicle. The Landy will be a slower 4WD. Both are super cool so I don't think you can go wrong with a 3Dsets design.
Did you have any watertight issues with some of the stl prints when slicing them? If so, how did you fix it?
nope, no issues like that
I've been having trouble with the ball joints. They just won't go into track bars without something breaking, and if I do get them to snap in without breaking, the movement is too tight and stiff. My printer is calibrated and optimized for movement and extrusion. I may have to just file or sand down the ball joints to get them fit easier.
Hey man I thought I responded to this already but guess I didn't save it properly or something. Hopefully you got it figured out by now. Mine all went in without breaking but it was a tight fit. Make sure you're lubing them up first before they go in and I think I used a pair of channel lock pliers to press them in like they show in their video (not in the instructions). If that won't work a little bit of sanding should definitely help or you could reprint the balls with a bit of under extrusion.
Maybe as a winter project you could build the snow tracks for 3d Sets cars wich you can find on cults?
Fun idea! Thanks for the feedback I'll keep it in mind.
What’s the name of the color you used for the seats? Is it brown? The ones I find on Amazon don’t look like the one you used.
Unfortunately there's no name for this color. I was trying to mimic leather so here's what I did.
Step 1 - grab a set of your kids paints
Step 2 - mix a darkish brown ... paint the seats
Step 3 - mix a lighter brown ... paint the seats again but before it dries take some crumpled up plastic wrap and dab them all over to remove part of the paint.
Step 4 - pray it looks ok. I think it turned out alright! :)
Can you supply a list of the electronics you used? I'm having problems finding the some of the parts like the ESC
I just used this motor/esc combo kit off banggood: www.banggood.com/540-Motor-60A-ESC-Carbon-Brushed-Shaft-3_175mm-For-110-RC-Car-p-1187528.html?cur_warehouse=CN&ID=47279
Its from China so it took a month or so to get here but its cheap and does the trick.
@@rcprinter Thanks for the quick response. Any suggestions on the servo and the tires? Can't find anyone that sells individuals tires and was going to buy 2 sets. Almost ordered that ESC motor combo but they wanted $23 for shipping...
@@cycloneus808 Ugh, $23 for shipping is steep. Its only $5 to my house in Canada. I think these were the tires I used: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07167PS9V I just used an old tire off a traxxas slash for the spare instead of buying two sets.
For a servo I think I used this one: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0769DFJVK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Generally I get most online stuff off either amazon, banggood or aliexpress. Sometimes I'll find one-off items on ebay that I can't find anywhere else but less often than the others.
Do you have any suggestions on TPU Tires for this build?
Sorry I don't. Try the Facebook group.
Do they sell a screw kit or tips were to get the screws and bearings
www.rcprinter.com, screws/bearings/servos/motors ... you choose your kit
Hey can you suggest a motor/esc brushless, servo setup? Thanks
I usually use cheap surpass hobby stuff from China like this: (Unsensored) www.banggood.com/Surpass-Hobby-F540-Brushless-Motor-60A-ESC-LED-Program-Card-Combo-for-1-or-10-RC-Crawler-Car-Vehicles-Model-Spare-Parts-p-1749052.html or this (Sensored): www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001963255998.html
and servos like this: www.banggood.com/DSSERVO-DS3225-25KG-180-Degree-Metal-Gear-High-Torque-Waterproof-Digital-Servo-For-RC-Airplane-Robot-Car-p-1353688.html
These types of parts have suited my needs so far for 3d printed builds and I wouldn't be the best to recommend "name-brand" higher end stuff. Also, I haven't tried brushless in the Rancher (sensored or unsensored) so I'd be a bit wary. 3Dsets has a very active facebook group though so you may want to check that out and ask there.
Great review, I was wondering what is missing from the kit you are selling to build this ?
Our full kit right now still doesn't include tires, shocks, controller and receiver, battery, and supplies like gear lube, threadlock, solder, window plastic. You can see the full list of all required parts from 3DSets here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pderDRfrMKgJRtTv9E3Lh8AeVkLXk5VFxauGmBlD4D4/edit#gid=0
@@rcprinter thanks am really new to RC want to print this but am finding difficulties to collect the parts
@@rcprinter but the motor and the servo are there right ?
@@fahadalmulla4982 there's a few different options for kits but the biggest one comes with motor, servo and an ESC.
@@fahadalmulla4982 Well our kits make it easier but we don't have full kits yet unfortunately. Generally most people will order the rest of their stuff from China on Aliexpress or banggood and it'll take a month to get there. Alternatively, a trip to a good local hobby shop should be able to get you everything else you need right away!
When you said that you had to reprint the parts that were failing(around the 10:30 mark) you said you used PETG initially, but didn't say what material you ended up with after you reprinted them. Do you happen to remember? I had those drive shaft joints fail me almost immediately, and I printed them in ABS.
Just PLA. It's the 100% infill that makes the difference.
can you share the STL for the Landy you did for your daughter as I cannot find it anywhere :(
Right here man: www.prusaprinters.org/prints/41264-landy-mini-by-3d-sets Fun little project for sure!
Love my rancher, you can actually take out the whole gearbox but it's a bit messy. I also hate the plastic pinion. Always drops off. Wish they had standard M1 gearing for the last gear instead if that helical gear so we can use a standard metal pinion.
Yeah I've since realized that its not nearly as hard as I initially thought to remove the gearbox and I've since upgraded to the brushless belt drive gearbox on all my 3dsets models.
@@rcprinter ah yes, still need to print that one
can i just use the body and use it on an existing 1/10 RC CRAWLER?
The body prints in many pieces that all get screwed onto the chassis. I don't think you have any luck using the body on an existing crawler.
Can the model be equipped with a Toyan engine?
Not without a lot of modifications.
💕👍
this rc is he best 3D printed rc car u can get in my opinion. i did make it but i didnt make the body. i changed the body to a other 3D printed body 1/10 vw amarok.
It's definitely a great car, and it's awesome how much is actually 3d printed where many others are using metal diffs, gearbox, axles etc!
Is this the body? www.thingiverse.com/thing:4600521 do you have pics or a video of your build? I bet it looks sick!
Existe-t-il ? Un kit complet pour les pièces non imprimables
Si non parfaite vidéo
We have rancher kits here: rcprinter.com/products/3d-sets-rancher-build-kits Although they aren't fully complete they will get your a lot of the way there.
How come Americans can pronounce Chicago but not Chassis?
