Ok, shoppinglist added to the description. But i´d like some input on the radio/receiver and micro servo. The radio is just something i looked up that was cheap.
Anyone think there´s a better (needs to be cheap) alternative to the radio let me know.

I´m also not sure about the servo, i´ve broken two before introducing the servo saver but it seems weak, is there something of the same size but more “heavy duty”? Maybe there could be two alternatives so one can go for cheap or durable…

What do you guys think? Let me know!

Will let you know if it breaks or not.

BTW, need to recommend other radio. Shipping from HK International with a lipo is really expensive.

In what kind of plastic are the tires printed?

Thanks @Daniel_Noree :slight_smile: Now I get to start my search to figure out where I can source the screws from.

Is there a video of this model running? I’m very doubtful about the grip provided by NinjaFlex, I think you should have use real slick tires…

The beauty of a project like this Jonathan is that you can modify the files to work with “real” slick tires if you so choose :slight_smile:

@Jonathan_Porta ​ You are absolutely right about the 3dprinted tires, they do not provide the best grip. But hey, look at it this way… We can all learn R/C car drifting now… :wink:
I’ll contact the Scandinavian distributor and see if they can send me some “real” tires… I’ll keep you guys posted!
