Below are the 3D Models used in the kits. The original kits used ABS and PET-G filament. But ABS is harder to 3D print. Other plastic materials like PLA will work just a well. I have found PET-G offers the best strength and easiest to print. I recommend testing your printed parts to verify you are comfortable with the strength. The 3D printer settings will effect this greatly. We make no promises that any models below are strong enough. How a 3D printer is configured and the material used will effect the model’s strength.
There are two types of files available for download. The STL files which are 3D definition files. Most 3D printers do not accept these type of files. A conversion or slicing program must be used before most 3D printers can print these models. Consulate your 3D printer manual for more information.
Bearing Plate
NOTES
The holes around the 3/8″ hole need to be tapped using a M4x0.7 tap to be used with the M4 screws to hold the bearing in place. Or replace with equivalent wood screws.
The 3/8″ hole in the center is designed to accept a 3/8″ flanged bearing.
Brake Adapter
Joining L Plate
Bushing ID:3/16″ OD:3/8″
NOTES

Wheel Outer Hub
NOTES
Designed to mount a standard CD / DVD to a #10 thread rod. An Inner and Outer Hub is required for each wheel. Up to 3 CD/DVDs can be used with each Hub pair.
Micro Switch Mount
NOTES
Designed to mount many models of micro switches and allow the switch to be activated by the wing nut.
1/4″ Dowel Rod Adapter
NOTES
Allows a 1/4″ dowel rod to be mount to vehicle. A screw can be threaded into side hole to hold dowel in place.
Consulate the event rules to verify this mount conforms to the rules!!!
RC Motor Mount
NOTES
Allows a typical RC motor to be mounted to side frame rail. Additional gears and/or pulleys are required to connect motor to axle.
RC Tire Adapter (12mm)
NOTES
Allows a RC tires with a 12mm hex nut to be adapted to the #10 threaded rod. Not all tires will work and some modifications to the tire are required.
