I am just curious how many of these things are out in the wild?

I am just curious how many of these things are out in the wild? Comment if you have a functioning one of these OpenRCs. If you have a picture post it too. It would be cool to see them all.

Add 0.75 to the total for me! All the parts printed just need to get it moving, had to wait a week for more 10mm screws in in June (8 too small, 12 too big) and been too busy to finish it since :frowning:

+0.75, most parts printed, just need to find out what bearings, cardan shafts etc i need to source and from where

Well that brings the total up to 2.55 or so. lol. Daniel has at least one of them running, and between the 3 of us I guess 1.55. I have 7 parts printed out and am already dreaming about which ones I can machine out of aluminum. The designs might have to change just a little to make it easier to machine, but functionally my goal would be to make it so they are drop in replacements for printed parts.

I’ve got two of them running in the wild. And beat them up a lot. :slight_smile: The orange one has a 550 size engine, total overkill, haven’t done a top speed run yet. Need wider road for it. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/96359783/IMG-20140208-WA0001.jpg

My guess is somewhere around 10-15 finished builds based on “makes” on Thingiverse and posted pictures…

@Emile_Wim
Those look really good covered in mud with those shells on!

10-15 is not nearly enough. I better hurry up and finish mine. :smiley: With the rate I am going my goal is before the end of the month. I gotta order the electronics soon though.

@Liam_Jackson
They still amaze me how good they go.

This is what i got atm https://www.dropbox.com/s/e42cr4zcsrd3kvd/IMG_20140312_204231.jpg
I retired my last build and the one to the left is it´s replacement which is almost done. Iit needs new rims and printed tires. The one in the middle is also almost finished as is meant to be used for demo purposes as is the case with the one on the right.
