Hello,
I have prepared a Hot Rod model for you. I was looking for inspiration in different RC models and I adapted individual parts to 3D printing as much as possible. I also enclosed a list of electronics in the Excel table. If you are new in RC cars and you have to buy everything it will cost you about $ 191, or $ 130 without sound system, tires and screws.
If you already have some hardware it will cost you less, you just have to check whether the electronics is compatible. Maximum measured speed of the model is 34 km / h (technical maximum speed is higher, but I could not achieve it in normal environments), but beware at high speed is harder to control the car. Note: The body is made from two big parts that are made to be glued together.
It's great project to work on, everything fits, and after you are done you can upgrade as you wish, when something breaks down you can simply print out new ones.
You will need something about 1 Kg of PETG and some FLEX 98 for tires and wheel shafts, and 91 hours.

You can check out the assembly video here: preparing
You can also check out the drive video: preparing
All shafts that are supposed to be inserted inside the wheels should be 3D printed in Flex material (If they are printed in hard material like PLA or PET, then its too brittle, to handle the torque of RC car.)
I recommend setting the number of perimeters to 4 on all functional components.
The Hot Rod body i recommend to print with support from the bed only, and with bridging auto-detect allowed.
Dog bone shaft you can print in PLA/PET/PETG, or also Flex 98A. I use Dog bone from PLA and it works without problem.
Drift wheels are printable, and they are realy great for drifting. I enclose a guide how to print with Flex 98A(https://josefprusa.cz/jak-tisknout-s-flexibilnim-filamentem/), so it shouldnt be problem to print for everyone.
The grip tires that you can buy from ebay for 16 dollars, are better for off-road type of driving.
I have to say the printed ones, are much more beautiful and are so much more fun to drive then the grip ones and you also save so money and you learn how to work with Flex 98A.
If you have any issues with printing some of the parts, please contact me on my email adress. vojtechposik@posh.cz
