Short video from todays testdrive of the 3D printed OpenRC Truggy.
Printed tires feel a bit slippery on asphalt. Other than that, great fun!

The knobs on the tires are good for dirt but not smooth hard surfaces. You need more contact area.
A softer compound will work too
Really nice, have been thinking of re-designing the tires with an “asphalt version”.
Waiting for my motor and servo, got stock in the customs. Should arrive late this week or early next probably because of easter
Hi I’m an undergraduate student from Korea in Asia.
I’m interested in 3D printing and I saw th making film of RC Car by chance and I became fascinated about it.
So I tried variety of companies for individual copies, but they say tha it’s difficult with the technologies that Korea have now,
and the RC car’s professional enterprises say it’s in fact, impossible. So if it’s not a discourtesy to you, would you mind printing the components of the RC Car?
I will pay the bills needed to this procedure.
Please, I hope you consider this favor.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
