Traxxas trx-4 sport with a 3D printed bed in PLA to fit the lexan body to the trx4. I also printed the license plates and some accessories like a propan container and a tool box. The bed and license plate is my own designs, the license plate is my initials and my day of birth, the two other pieces was downloaded, dont remember from where.
Multiple 3D printed parts, including a few pieces from My Mini Factory all assembled on a custom made Ford F-250. The body is mounted on a fully loaded Vanquish VS-410.
Hey Guys. Nothing too fancy here. I did design the Top Cover for this classic Scx10 Original. I got the Roof Rack off thingyverse, which I find to be another great sight for sharing ideas.. :) As A Tool Maker and a CNC operator I defintely see the advantage of having a machine like this
This is a Traxxas TRX 4 Bronco. It has a custom set of 1.9 wheels, designed and printed by me. The back of the wheel is PLA printed on a Prusa MK3S and the front face was re printed on a Anycubic Photon Mono and custom painted black Chrome, with chrome ring. It is hiding a custom designed radiator behind the grill, printed out of PLA on a prusa MK3S and also designed and printed a set of front headlight buckets to install lights. there is also a AXIAL SCX10 III with custom 1.7" beadlocks to use a set of cut and shut boggers and a JL 3d printed front bumper, file was purchased, but can't remember the designer. All was printed on a Prusa MK3S out of PLA. And last but not least its a Snap On TRX6, it only has a custom 3D printed side tool box, on both sides, with my logo on it and they open. This wa salso printed on a MK3S out of PLA
Hi, my name is Rob and this is my Khan Defender mounted to an Axial scx10ii along with team Raffee camper trailer. The body started of as a team Raffee D90 and I have added 3D printed khan fenders, grille, headlights and bonnet. There's also several 3d printed items on the trailer which constantly changes. I have only been into scale RC trucks for a little over a year, it started during our covid lockdown at the beginning of 2020 and it kept me occupied. I accidentally found a hobby I love and since that time I have gained some great new friends, built 10 scale trail RC crawlers and still have a few more in the design, assembly process. I use them, I'm a big believer in getting out with friends and using the RC's, enjoying not just the building process but the social side to. I video most of my ventures and post them on Instagram, YouTube and Facebook. I don't own a 3D printer and I am very interested in seeing the unique Hemistorm take on them, really looking forward to seeing you learn and create with your new unit, having the possibility to build and create my own creations is very appealing to me. All my 3D printed items are purchased, from several different suppliers. Thank you for taking the time to view my build.
Hi Hemistorm! My 3D printed submission is a 1957 Jeep FC-150 4WD 1:9 scale RC truck riding on a GCM CMAX leaf sprung chassis. This build was my submission for the 2019 Scale Builders Guild work truck build off. I modeled the body, interior, floor pan, bumpers etc. using Fusion 360 and I used a combination of PLA and PETG. I printed all components on my Prusa MK3. It was my first time taking on a larger modeling project and made a lot of mistakes along the way but it was a great learning experience, very rewarding. Everything on this body has been 3D printed with the exception of the chassis, wheels, tires, light lenses, windows and action figures. All in all a very fun project! Here is a link to the SBG build thread: https://scalebuildersguild.com/forum/showthread.php?29400-Work-Truck-Buildoff-Willys-FC-150-Ray-s-farm-truck Here is a link to a short video I put together documenting the design process and a short running video (all up around 6 minutes in length) if interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUDhdMphyi0 The trailer in the video was also largely built using a combination of 3D components that I modeled and conventional materials such as aluminum channel, styrene and checker plate sheet from RC4WD. Cheers and many thanks for the great videos over the years, excellent work! Have fun with the 3D printer, once you start down the design path the sky is pretty much the limit and really expands the utility of the technology. Best of luck and have fun!

I designed and printed the ENTIRE bed of this truck, and about 50% of all the accessories. Items seen printed are: Bed(fully functioning doors and drawers), tail light housings, mud flaps, power inverter, battery, and voltage gauge housing
Toyzuki and proline rock van painted with candy rootbeer 3D printed parts are mirrors, badges, roof rack, cooler, and rear latter.
Farm truck project I’ve been working on for a few years. I add a little more to it here and there. Radiator is 3D printed plus the goodies sitting in the bed. I’m currently working on the engine bay. Can’t wait till thats finished. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.
I wanted an overland bed rack for the Proline Hilux but couldn’t find one anywhere. This was a design that I made and printed. Not pictured is a printed spare tire carrier/body mount for the bed. The trailer is also fully 3D printed but I did not print that.
I was an original owner of a 1993 80 series but had to let it go back in 2019 after 26 years and regret it greatly. Therefore, my goal was to try and create a scale version of my 1-1. I selected the HPI Venture SBK kit mainly since it had room to build a full scale interior and found an LC80 hardbody on Amazon. Other than the base dashboard and front bumper found on Thingiverse which I modified using thinkercad for fit and more scale details, the other scale items were designed on tinkercad. 1) Dashboard printed in several parts, the main dashboard, the rear part of the dashboard with a mounting bracket, the instrument panel with vents, switches, radio, etc as one, steering wheel and column, and the passenger side air vent and glove box handle. Printed photos of my 1-1 instrumental panel and radio and glued them to the printed pieces. 2) Front bumper printed in 2 pieces, top bar assembly and bottom bumper. Modified the top bar by doubling the diameter for strength and printing it so that the printed layers were lengthwise for added strength. 3) You can see from one of my photos the iterations of the front seats. Settled on the painted gray one which I was satisfied with the more rounded seat that i was finally able to accomplish on tinkercad. 4) The center console and armrest, emergency brake handle, and the gear shift, low/high shifter and the whole center piece were printed separately and assembled on a platform printed so that it can easily be removed with 2 pins 5) the rear seat also went through 3 revisions and it used the actually rear body post mounts to mount the rear chair. This allows it to easily be removed with 2 pins as well. 6) Tailpipe end piece was created to copy my 1-1 Borla muffler 7) Front "TOYOTA", rear "T" and "4wheel drive" emblems created and printed and painted with Molotow liquid chrome pen 8) Emergency recovery tracks, jerry cans and cooler all downloaded from Thiniverse and printed 9) The original side mirrors that came with the body were rigid and broke off. So I designed one that can fold forward and backwards. 10) the original body had a license plate mold on the passenger side which I cut out and printed a panel to make it look the same as my 1-1. Used the mirror photo of the driver side section to fill the cut out and used bondo to smooth it all out. 11) Full front and rear door panels with handles, speaker grill and map pockets created on tinkercad and printed separately and glued together 12) Rear fender wells created on tinkercad Overall, pretty happy with the outcome.
A Tinker Time RC Extended Cab Comanche, still needs finished.
This is my metric body on an element rc trailwalker I call chester copperpot. Full copper printed pla for the bumpers, racks, bumpers and other accessories from knights customs stl files. Lights provided by lit led. I did a copper splatter paint job with a white pearl backing to give it an extra special touch! Lots of print time but it came out really awesome

Long travel vertical shock mounts for Axial SCX10 2 This is the V1.0 of shock hoops for the SCX10 2 that allows for scale angle shocks (straight up and down, not angled) and allows for long shock travel while maintaining a low ride height. The shocks I used in particular are the Proline Powerstroke XT with two 3/32 holes drilled in pistons in conjunction with 10wt shock oil. I used these shocks because they have a shock travel of slightly more than 1.6" (replicates full scale of 16" travel coilovers).
HEMISTORM RC Crawler Customizer Competition My submission… My entry is an 1/10 scale Cen Racing DL F-450 truck. The truck was announced September of last year 2020. I per-ordered it but due to covid, high demand and shipping issues I did not receive truck until the end of January. This gave me ALOT of time to let thing stew in my head on how I wanted to customize my truck. I ordered a few parts meant for a Traxxas trx-4 that I thought I could modify to work on this much larger truck. One Biggie for me were the wheels they were fine but I like to add my style to all the wheels on all my trucks. I designed a center piece to the wheels to replace the original and a faux beadlock ring to the front and back of rim. Then I wanted a hood scoop to further separate my truck from any other took several redoes to make something I liked. I bought a set of trx-4 aftermarket aluminum foot rails they were too short for the F-450 so I designed a piece that would allow me to drop in the trx-4 piece but be long enough to better fit the size of the f-450, I also had to to make a piece for the inside of body to make body stronger for mounting foot rails. I made an diamond plate accent piece for the side of truck using rc4wd diamond plate and 3d printed a piece for it to set inside along the side of truck. I designed and 3d printed a piece to hold aluminum door handles to side of truck, I also designed and printed a gas cap. I redesigned the way the front bumper mounted 3 times the final one I ended up having it mount directly to truck body rather than the chassis for a tighter fit. To do this had to design a piece to the back of body to give it a lot of added strength to hold metal bumper guard without saging. I 3d printed a box to hold the white IBF light in front of bumper as well as I designed and 3d printed license plate holder for front of my truck. I always make bedrails for my truck bodies I designed and made these exstra beefy so I could actually use them.I designed a 3 piece system system to allow me to cover the bed on the RC4WD diamond plate held in place with 3d pieces I printed some metal pieces and magnets . One of my absolutes favorite things are my 1” polished stainless steel smoke stacks cut down from a 44” tube I bought. I designed a 3 piece mounting system that allows me to mount smoke stacks and the a winch I mounted to the rear of truck bed (smoke stakes will work with rc tank smoke system I bought but not installed yet). Designed and printed rear license plate and a rear bumperette piece. The only really functional parts I made were the front body post/shock tower that allowed me to use larger aftermarket shock as well as reposition them better. The truck had 3 link suspension with a swaybar I wanted 4 link but Cen Racing does not make piece for it so I reversed engineered there 3 link piece and printed a couple set so I did 4 link in back and will get around to doing it in the front of truck. The best piece I did for the truck and only piece I did not design is a Goodsons_Hobbies GH Scaler Trailer Utility Bed that I found on Thingaverse. I scaled it up around 30% for trailer to hold the 1/14 Quad I bought to carry around in back of trailer as well as make large enough to fit the traxxas trx-4 2.6” wheels and very large tires on back of trailer. I designed some inner and outer beadlock rings to transform the way stock trx-4 wheels looked on back of trailer. I designed and printed a mounting system for trailer axles tires were so large for trailer had to cut axle in half to lengthen them to fit I also printed pieces to cover where I cut rear axles and used the first set of bedrails from truck bed on trailer as well. I designed some sliver ribbed pieces for sides of trailer just to make my trailer that much different from anyone else’s. I used a TON of m1.6, m2 and m3 screws threwout build to help with scale realism only paint used on 3d printed parts was Molotow Chrome pen all parts printed on Modded Creality Cr-10 using black Inland PLA+. I designed everything on AutoDesk 123D Design only program I can afford FREE.
I designed and printed this replacement part for a one of a kind crawler by Dorkstar Productions, "The Dark Rider" I bought about a year ago as a box of parts. I've been slowly restoring it to functional condition and this was the last part that needed replacing. The original piece was cracked, and broken and tattered and looked terrible after years of abuse and bad modification so I figured it deserved a new custom modeled and printed piece to replace it. I also snuck in the tow bed by Dr Knut that I printed for my Gmade Frankenfinder. It's not done yet, waiting on paint and finishing once I find some hardware to hold that arm on properly and a couple more bits of electronics. Also featuring custom welded bumpers front and rear by my good local friend Heath! Sadly no action shots because I just finished it yesterday and haven't really been able to get out since Covid started. Hope you like!
Custom rear cage for 1/24 scale I designed. Gives you a chance to have a hardbody and lose the weight of the bed to help performance and just plain look cool.
K5 grill I designed and printed. Gave the build a unique look by going away from the standard grill. This RC4WD body is also mounted to a VS410 Chassis with mounts I designed.
I designed and printed this grill to add some detail to my wife's Deadbolt. I made the opening to fit the lenses from the lights we removed from the top. I also designed some sliders that mount the the stock scx10ii boat sides to held her slide better over the rocks.
Hi, I'm Willem, I'm from Vermont, and I'm 17. This is my year and a half-long project, creating a 1/10 scale LMTV military truck, based on the Stewart and Stevenson m1078. I made one for myself, and more recently, one for my friend. This truck was 100% meticulously designed by me in fusion 360. It has been a great learning experience and a hell of a project. The truck is also very functional and features a durable metal drivetrain with 3d printed (double-helical) gears for the lower torque applications and off-the-shelf brass worm gears as the final 30:1 axle reduction. It also features printed telescopic driveshafts. Almost the entire rest of the truck is printed out of about 2kg of pla and TPU. The whole thing can be printed on my Ender 3, despite being about 600mm long when complete. I designed TPU tires for the truck because 130mm rubber hobby tires are expensive! (Although I recently splurged on some) I also made TPU tracks that work incredibly well, and have plans for a camper (see pictures) and some other accessories as well as a 6x6 version. Recently with the addition of a fully boxed frame, I was delighted when after an hour of intense rock crawling, not a single thing was broken or fatigued. Progress! Theoretically, the whole thing costs as much as the materials to make, which is much more sustainable for me, and I hope to continue developing the truck and its accessories as I head into my senior year. The Snapmaker is such an awesome tool, I would love to laser cut Lexan for windows and plastic sheet for lighter weight body add-ons, never mind the potential of a CNC router with that awesome rotary module. Although I didn't customize a store bought truck, I would argue that my truck is as custom as it gets. Every part, from the drivelines, to the interior, to the frame is custom. This is such a cool idea for a contest, it brings out some real talent in 2 hobbies that I appreciate. Thanks, Chris!
All of my 3D printed part I have bought for my SCX24. Wife is still wondering why I need one. I would like to add cabins homes bridges to my mountains.
Gen 8 redcat pack chassis 3d printed body with pla plus Also hand made styrene parts Red Bull Dakar kamaz truck
This is a trailer with a folding roof tent I built to be hauled by my RC4WD D110 Defender. The frame is soldered brass, the bed box is scratch built from styrene sheet. The tent is lycra fabric. A lot of parts and details on this are 3D printed and mostly designed by me. Like the tent hinges, the fenders and the ladder. Demo video here: https://youtu.be/DdlTN_DGgg0
Here’s my Sendero, or as I call it, The Chevdero. It has quite a few 3D printed parts on it, here’s a rundown: Rear double railed bumper Front wheels and rear duallies Guitar in cab Bow and arrow Chainsaw Cool box Ladder Rifle, shotgun and gun rack Stack exhaust And saving the best till last...the hot chick hitchhiker on the bed. It’s evolved over a couple of years and I have a real soft spot for this rig, hope Y’all like it.
Here my TRX 4 Sport with an RC4WD Toyota Tacoma body. The driver is 3D printed along with his flask and packed lunch box in the cab. The driver is a UK bricklayer driving a left hand drive truck, hence the UK ‘Q’ registration plate for an import. Everything on the bed is 3D printed, 2 spirit levels, bucket of tools, including trowel, hammer, corner blocks and a brush. Dirty work boots, stihl saw, tool chest and a hard hat. The tool chest and hard hat have threaded bar epoxied into them and screw down into the body posts (I hate body clips) Oh and the rear hi level brake light too. Most of the files are from thingiverse or designed on tinkercad by myself. I’ve only had this rig since Christmas but it gets lots of use as it’s just how I want it. Hope you like it.
Here’s my FTX MINI 2.0 with the most 3D printed parts I have on any rig. The entire camper section is completely 3D printed, including the solar panels, satellite dish, ladder, door handle, fuel racks and cans. As for the actual Landy, the number plates (used my sons name of Wesley) ‘DEFENDER’ logo, ‘LANDROVER EXPEDITON’ windscreen visor logo, headlight surrounds, front grill, jack, windscreen wipers and even the ‘DEFENDER WORKS V8” Union Jack. As you can see, the camper unit is detachable via Velcro too. For a 1:24 scale rig, I think it’s quite detailed. Hope you like it.
this started as a trx4 sport, full custom build, all 3d printed parts under body are my design. in the bed are others designs. in bed floor, walls, back gate, strobe light mounts, body hinges in rear, hinge are all my designs.
Traxxas TRX4. Purchased door handles and all the equipment on the roof from Amazon and Wish
This is my Chevy C10 custom. Painted by my good friend, Peter Roeygens from Belgium. This truck is a complete custom build 6x6 with framerails from Czechoslovakia, axles from China, Hobbywing AXE 2300KV, JX 35kg servo and Louise Champ tires (I love these tires! :) When I bought this truck, it was a shelf queen. All trucks, at my place, need to work for their money... so out she went... there I found out that the 4-links from the rear axle were completely mounted in the wrong way (attached to the axle in front). So I designed a 4-link 'strut-bar' and printed it on my PLA printer (Creality CR-10). Unfortunately, it did not hold up and broke. So I printed a new one, only this time 100% infill. Alas; that one broke as well... So I printed this model another time on my SLA printer. It is still running strong :)
This was my first bought new rc-car; the Axial Capra. Through time it received several upgrades: - Rear link riser, - Rear light-/led-holder, - All printed body panels. This little can-do-it-all, is great fun to crawl, climb and trail. On the last photo, it's the one on the right side. All Capra's :) I'm trying to print these same panels in SLA and paint them a nice color (still pondering what color and design). Biggest challenge if I can heat and bent the hood (since the design is a straight hood design, by STH). I'm quite new in rc. About a year and a half now. It's great to combine two hobbies. This is my second entry. My first was the Custom Chevy C10.
This truck it still a WIP. I did, however, print the Knight Customs Unimog grill (the old style grill is so my much nicer then the original by Axial). Also the rooflight-mount is by Knight Customs. That man is a genius in designing. It all fits so nice and the detail is incredible. The fueltank on the back is a nice detail, from Thingiverse. This truck is going to become a 'FrankenMog'. It is build from parts I had lying around. I bought the body second hand (almost new). A second body (heavily used) was purchased from a friend, where the rear section (the flatbed) is going to become a trailer. The tires are all 1.55". I am still waiting for some parts before this one can go hit the trails... This is my third entry. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right... but I don't want to make one post too big, so I am posting them all seperately. That way the story to the pictures is logical.
A little try-out: dually's for my 3D printed ZIL157 (that entry will be done after this one :) Unfortunately, I did not like these wheels to go with the military design, I had in mind for my ZIL157 so I took them off again.
This is my ZIL157. My second printed body. It took some time to get the printer dialed in but I succeeded :) The front bumper is my own design and printed in SLA (it's quite thin and broke on the first run... battle scars :) this truck isn't quite finished but I couldn't wait any longer because I was really curious how it would run... it is based on a SCX10.2 Unimog chassis. My previous entry show the dually's I wanted to mount on this truck but like stated in that entry, I didn't like the looks of the rim on this military truck. I still have to beat it up a little and add some weathering (which I have never done, so that is going to be a first for me...). The rear dually's are the original wheels, from an Axial Unimog (those tires are hopeless... but fit this build wonderful). Since Axial does not know dually's, I bought some long nuts and designed adapters to fit over them, so the second (outer) wheel would fit as well. Unfortunately the front fenders do not fit, since the wheeltravel is quite hefty. The wheels would rub on inclination (vertaal ik dit goed? Als één of beiden wielen inveren). I'm not sure what to do with the rear. I think I will install either a fifth wheel of a big-ass winch (old style). This truck has a simple 35T standard motor with a Hobbywing 1080 in front and an Injora steering servo.
Not specifically for the truck itself... but very handy: thumbsticks for the Flysky GT5. Awesome design from Thingiverse. Printed in a mix from SirayaTech Fast, SirayaTech Tenacious and standard Anycubic grey. Painted them black with Absima black.
The Element Enduro kit; one of the best trucks to start with, in my opinion. I bought the body from a friend. It's an MST Jeep. Since this body was already used, it had it's body-mount-holes already drilled and I did not wanted to drill another set of holes, I designed and printed some mounting adapters. They look flimsy but are quite sturdy. The truck did some rolls but I only busted one of them... (so I printed a new one :)) I love this tiny truck. It is using Landmine tires and some heavy Ali-wheels. Ideal combination. Ofcourse it also has some nice lights for that extra detail (most of my trucks have lights mounted).
TRX4 with MST FJ45 body, custom painted wheels. Purchased scale items.
This is not ON the truck but behind it... :) This Brüder trailer was entirely funded and printed by me. I gave it to a friend who had some really bad luck purchasing some truck parts. He lost a lot of money on that, so I decided that he could use a break... so I purchased the files and filament and started printing. He is very happy with it and takes it to all meetings (before Corona). It's all printed with PLA from Sunlu, in the color: Black Silk. Sunly prints really very nice.
This is another project in progress... A (almost) completely 3D-printed rat-rod, with a whisky barrel on the back. Ofcourse the axles, links, shocks and electronics cannot be printed. The chassis and the body are 3D printed though :) This is printed with a new PLA from ColorFABB, called LW-PLA. It is a light weight PLA, specifically for rc-planes. So I am testing this for RC-cars. It is quite a challenge to get this dialed in, since this PLA "foams" when it is printed. Therefor it 'oozes' quite a lot, when the nozzle travels from one point to another. This is my seventh entry...? Lost count :-p
These parts are a front visor, rear roofspoiler and louvres for the rear door windows. All printed in SLA. Came out great. Post processing was minimum. Result outstanding! Look at that A-team truck... This truck isn't mine but from one of my friend, who asked me if I could/wanted to print these items for him. I let him only pay for the files and the used resin. Since he broke the spoiler on the first run, I reprinted this spoiler another three times and gave them to him. I think they will come in handy pretty soon :-D
Traxxas TRX-4: I printed some inner fenders, a roof rack, gas cans, LCG battery tray and an ESC mount. I also designed and printed a small box that fit inside the Proline rear cage.
This is my Power Wagon tow truck I built for USTE '21. It is my second RC, and second crawler I have owned as I was just introduced to the hobby in September of 2020. At the heart of this build is a Scaled Out Fab SOF1 chassis with a SCX 10.2 builders kit being the basis of which really only the drive line was used by the time I completed the build. The rear suspension is a modified JS cantilever suspension and all 4 corners are supported by Desert Lizard shocks running mini T springs. The round bits are Gmade SR02 wrapped in Proline Grunts and caped off with SSD hubs in the rear and RC4WD Warn hubs in the front. A Holmes Hobbies Trailmaster Expert and Hobbywing 1080 drive this rig with a Reefs RC 555 giving me powerful but slower and more scale steering action. Both the front and rear winches are Reefs micro 99 servo winches of which the rear is mounted under the flatbed. A castle BEC has been added to stop brown out The flatbed itself was fabricated using nothing more than aluminium L and flat stock from the local hardware store brazed together where possible sanded and polished to mimic a chrome finish. Up front I fabricated the front bumper out of flat and L stock aluminium, finished with automotive paint and clear coat. During this build I decided that having a 3d printer going to be a gigantic asset to this build and I dove head first into learning Fusion 360 and the world of 3d printing. I sourced files for the dash, windshield wipers, front grille, radiator, sliders, 3d Dode and Power Wagon emblems, and scale items such as the oxy/ acetylene tanks and wheel chocks. I created my own files for my dual front servo mount which also functions as my front body mount and a filler for a gap left when I fit up the 3d printed grille and radiator assembly. The front 99 micro is mounted to a DSM Offroad micro 99 adaptor plate but I created the 90* adaptor brackets between my servo mount and the adaptor plate. I also drew up the battery tray and mounting brackets due to custom size requirements. After a few struggles with PLA considering the structural nature of my printed chassis components I swapped from PLA to PETG and found that it was much better suited for my structural parts. I never intended for this to be a shelf queen and I certainly have not allowed it to be. It gets regular use these days and despite having built a few other rigs since February this one holds a special place in my heart being my most challenging and built start to finish with virtually no clue what I was doing in a month and a half. It has won two Show and Shine trophies giving me some confidence and motivation to try to outdo myself on the next scale build.
Nice Toyota SR5 build, Proline body, knight customs stl file and build on a Vanquish vs4-10 pro Parts that are printed are:Grill ,Dash, Engine bay and backbox
My Axial Wraith with 3D Printed Drivers
I got my first 3D printer in January and I’ve been addicted to designing and printing my own parts since. I bought my second printer in March and they basically never stop printing. The 8x8 is two trx6 chassis that I welded together. The inner fenders, body mounts, rear bed, exhaust, tail lights and 5th wheel hitch and many other small parts are all designed by me and printed in PETG. The trailer is also designed by me and all 3D printed in PETG out of many parts I bolted together. I didn't realize how strong PETG is and if I remove the axles and tires, I can actually stand on that trailer and I'm 200lb. The F450 has been custom lowered with all parts designed by me and in PETG It features cantilever rear suspension and over 50 individual 3D parts that allow the wheels and tires to sit inside the fenders when it’s fully lowered. It’s built around a superscale2020 module which allows me to control ride height via tx and 4 servos at each corner. This was the most complicated project I've taken on so far. The photos at the end show close ups of under the cab of the 8X8 and under the body of the F450. Thx!

So, not sure if this counts, but here goes nothing. I got a resin 3dprinter awhile ago (Elegoo Saturn), and my friend who is in to crawlers wanted a trailer for his son, so here is my submission, a 1:10 scale adventure offroad trailer, all parts execpt bearings and screws are printed. The licens plate was made in MS 3D painter (I think it's called). Fully cusom paintjob to match his truck! Hope you like it.
Hi and thank you for having such an amazing contest! This is my Axial SCX10II with many 3D parts and accessories. The most noticeable is probably the fully 3D printed popup trailer that I designed and printed. All of the pieces are 3d printed with the exceptions of hardware for the axle and wheels and tires themselves. The trailer has 3D printed light buckets with working LED lights including the turn signals and brakes. The light buckets were printed using clear PETG and the painted with Tamiya bottle paint. The popup trailer lid is easy to remove as it is a friction fit, it also has a panel that opens up to see what is inside - a full 3d printed interior. The carpet piece is not 3d printed, but the benches and stove are. The stove and sink are painted and the benches have material glued to them. The trailer connects to the truck with a 3D printed hitch I designed that mounts under the 3D printed bumper. The hitch mount was printed at 50% infill and then I used epoxy resin along the edges to help strengthen it. (It only lasted about a year before breaking). The roof of the trailer originally had 3d posts with aluminum bars from side to side to use as storage for other 3d printed accessories, canoes, and a kayak. The front of the trailer has a propane tank mount with magnets that I flush mounted during the design, then the propane tanks had magnets on the bottom so they would stay in place. During a bad rollover the tanks could spill out but it would take a pretty serious tumble. I trailer took a lot of sanding, putty and paint to remove most of the 3d layer lines. The trucks body is a Proline bronco that I painted. It also had 3D printed light buckets for the headlights, backup lights, and turn signals. I have printed many 3d accessories for this truck throughout the past couple years that I usually would trade or give away, including gas tanks, radios, trail markers and boats. The truck itself has many upgrades and was built from the builders kit. Having a 3D printer is an excellent addition to the hobby.
The 8x8x8 Crawler. This is an Exceed Mad Torque 8x8 crawler 1/8 crawler that I 3d printed a body for a few years ago. This project is what inspired me to get a 3d printer in the first place. I no longer own the truck but it sure was fun designing and printing it as my first large 3d project. Everything was printed an a 3d printer that came as a kit from some random online store. This was printed using over 14 pieces that were all bolted or glued together. Having a project of this size really challenged me in the design process and I had a lot of error prints. In the end I had my mad max style 8x8 with a full 3d printed body. The front of the truck was using free files that I modified and the back of the truck I deigned myself. (using PLA for this was probably a mistake as it did warp in a few of the this spots.) The front cab was a free file that I had to hollow out to allow space for a smoke machine. The rear was hollow and I printed holes in the base to help with weight and to house the ESS sound machine, batteries, and originally I wanted to try installing a water spraying system that never did work out. After assembly I painted it, sanded it, painted it again and again and learned a lot along the way. I did use Exceed's kit to make the rear two axles also steer with the truck. I designed a spring latch mechanism for the rear section to lock into place to keep everything secured. In entirety including mis-prints and failed prints there was over 200 hours of printing.
My VS4-10 with a 3D printed servo cover designed to look like a vehicle engine. (from Supershafty) I also designed and printed 3d door panels and a dash. The dash houses a radio screen built by Scalebuilt with a simulated radio and GPS screen.
I was not familiar with 3-D printing at all , so I started small with 3-D parts , I got these wheels on my kyosho Jimmy , I was determined to get those mudslingers on there , I had to trim the body , extend the bumpers , and the wheels made the fit ! They have a little bit of a offset to them , so they really helped with the tires fitting
i wanted to try out flexible filaments (tpu) and found some pictures online showing airless tires on an rc car and wanted to try it myself so i started to design the airless tire itself and whent through some prototypes and ended it at the third design, after that i needed a rim to make it fit on the traxxas trx4 so i designed some simple beadlock rims and printed it in pla. i got quite the attention on instagram (@basher_indra) and people in person asking me about these wheels and were quite amazed that i designed and printed my own set of wheels and tires. but unfortunatly they did not perform as well as is would like but i learned a few things along the way and thats always a nice bonus :) there are also a few other 3d printed things on my trx4, for example one of my very first designs the click on windshield wipers, click on sand ladder holder and my click on shovel holder very simple but they do the trick. ( i also designed and printed a trx4 defender trailer for my buddy @kevin_noorlander he painted and assembled the trailer and i think it came out soo good! ) i still have to print one for myself :D
this offroad/overland trailer is one of my latest projects. last week i took it out for the first time to see if it is sitting well behind my trx4 and if the spring setup is right. this build was inspired by my real offroad trailer (i have attached an old w.i.p. picture of that) i still want to paint some of the black details on to the trailer. my trx4 also has a few printed parts: a xxl receiver box, lcg battery tray and door handles. everything was printed on a friends Ender 3 pro: @basher_indra
I customized my Axial Bomber and wanted disc brake look so i designed these mounts to use the barrera ascender disk faux brakes was a challenge but it came out great! hope i can upgrade to a new machine! Thanks Hemistorm and keep up the great creative juices flowing!

2 more element senderos. both have custom rollbars,simulated fuel cells, custom bumpers,custom fenders,,and frame inserts.
Working on the proline metric body. Was really hoping you would have posted a paint/part install video after the first one u posted. I have a few questions about fitment on an scx10ii as the engine bay mount seem to only lineup with element Enduro body mounts. Same with front bumper. Any way thanks so much for the great content. Always loved your channel. Cheers Shane
Hi Chris, First off thanks for a great YouTube channel, I’ve learnt so much from you over the years and have been inspired by your builds, it’s awesome work. For my TRX4 build I wanted a SORCCA class 1 Toyota SR5 using the Proline SR5 body and I wanted a realistic retro look to and imagined Ron Swanson from the TV Show Parks and Recreation as the owner. I couldn’t find the parts I wanted to convert it to a class 1 trail truck so I learnt CAD design and to 3D print. I used software on my iPad called Shapr3D for most of the design work and an Ender 3 to print the tiles on. Most of the main parts of the truck I designed myself, they are: SR5 truck bed. SR5 front grill with buckets for lights. magnetic body mounts. Hella fog lights. Low profile and CG battery tray. Rear shock mounts with multiple positions for more tuning options. Winch that uses a standard servo and a winch spool. The winch housing was the hardest and it took about 6 prototypes till it worked correctly and fitted. All the parts I designed can be found on my page on Thingyverse and are free for everyone to enjoy. https://www.thingiverse.com/chrisknowles/designs There’s also a drift car rim on there for 1/10 scale. The SR5 truck bed was then filled with many parts I had downloaded from Thingyverse, printed and then hand painted. The rear wheel is 3d printed to save weight and me buying another wheel (who sells wheels in x5). https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4435767 The Rim for the wheel https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2486037 Fuel tank https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3585637 first aid kit https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3319458 Snap-on toolbox https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3582395 Jerry cans https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3074437 I think that’s about it for now. I still have the interior to do but spend a little to much time out on the trials at the moment. I took a few photos of the TRX4 SR5 on the trails by my house and hope they’re the quality your looking for. The details shots have been taken as I’ve been building over the past couple of years, so not so good in quality. I look forward to seeing more of your work with your new 3d print/cnc/laser cutter. Theres so many possibilities! All the best, Chris Yup i’m another Chris!
Hi, I am Nico from Germany, I am 69 years old and since 2018 member of a very active scaler crawler group. Beside the BISON I own 2 other cars, SCX 10.2 Cherokee and a Jeep J6 fully printed body. I have no printer yet but I make a lot of 3D-models for my friends and their scale garages and scale camper trailers. The BISON has of a Freemen Chassis with shortened wheelbase, with full metal Gen8 axles, SCX 10 gearbox and transfer case in combination with a belt drive. The front and rear roof rack came from RCDM (USA), all other parts are 3D printed by friends but the fire extinguishers. almost all accessories are my own designs/3D models. I use SketchUp PRO since almost 10 years now also for my business as designer for inflatable military tents and NBC-equipment. Greetings from Germany
basic of the rc is austar scx10 chassis with some upgraded metal part list of 3d printing parts : 1. Zil 157 body cabin 2. Interior (dashboard, seats, steering wheel, and floor 3.

When I got my Creality Ender 3 last summer, I went crazy printing all sorts of fun little scale items. I even printed a set of Mattracks but I have some rigging to do as it isn't a direct fit to the SCX10II. I have a list of everything I have in the photos below, with links to the Thingiverse page and credit to the creators. I would like to print in other materials that I know the Ender3 wouldn't be capable of and even start printing for profit at some point. 1/10 Scale warn snatch block for crawlers by Dblnaknak https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2809420 1/10 scale RC off road car earth anchor "Pullpal" by sirmakesalot https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:739294 TRX-4 Front Bumper Heavy Duty with Warn Winch Mount by entityunknown https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2981993 1/10 Scale Propane Tank by duanesdiesel https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3277742 1/10 Scale MaxTrax MKII Traction Board by daver18qc https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3501629 Axial SCX10ii Cherokee - Rotopax Utility Rack by Burnie222 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3614597 1/10 Scale Toolbox (One Piece)(2 Brands) by daver18qc https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3582395 Canadian Alex's Canoe scaled to 1:10 for Rc Scale by Filaments-3D-Quebec https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1745074 1.9" Bead Locks for Axial SCX10 by Anglesmith_Customs https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2969120 Rubbermaid and Coleman cooler 1/10 by lcalcena https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:833358
Welcome to my story of my PeaceKeeper creation, the MATV body is fully designed and 3D printed in Carbon Nylon filament by Exclusive RC along with the Soldier and the military pelican cases. The vehicle body was aquired in 2018 and originally designed for the Traxxas TRX4 sport. I recently created the current chassis using the Element RC Sendero chassis, their IFS kit and incorporated Gatekeeper rear trailing arm suspension to make the wheelbase fit this body for a more realistic drivetrain. The Soldier, also printed in Carbon Nylon, was hand painted by me to represent and add to the detail of the body in honor of those whom have or are currently serving the Military. The cargo cases are also printed to match the scale of the vehicle and Soldier. They are mounted as cargo in a manner consistant with reality as a scout delivery vehicle. The wheel nut covers are also a printed part found on Thingiverse and printed by Mike George of Carry-All RC. The 31st of May a few close friends decided to do a tribute trail run to those Soldiers who never made it home from the Vietnam Conflict. Our adventure was to take a step for every name currently listed on the memorial wall. we exceeded our collective goal and completed over 59,000 steps and covered 12.3 miles of trail. The pictured rig completed every one of those steps without fail, proving that 3D printed bodies are durable and ultra scale at the same time.
Hello. My name is Bill Maryka. I live in Alberta Canada I have a 3D printer now for just over a year. Since then i have printed 4 truck bodys downloaded from Scale RC 3D. To guess i would have to say i have well over 800 hours on my little Anycubic Mega S. This particular truck is a replica of the 1960 Chev truck and portable welder my dad used for his construction business in the 60s and 70s when I was a kid. The truck chassis is an Element Sendero. Everything above the chassis is 3D printed. Except for the tires. The welding trailer is all 3D printed. The welder is a 1920s era Lincoln welder powered by a 1936 Chev truck engine. My father cobbled it together from what he could find so i tryed to replicate that. The stuff in the box is almost all 3D printed. I use Shapr 3D to design ALL my own parts. Except for the truck body. I love the fact that i can design and print anything I want. Now I am building a 1965 Ford F700 from scratch including the chassis and suspension. But that wont be done till next year because ever part has to be designed from the ground up. I watch all HemiStorm videos. Lots of good information. Thank you Bill
Hey Guys, here is a fully 3d printed Toyota Tacoma . I hope you guys like it . Most it’s filament and some is resin.

Hello my name is Terry Clayton and I have been into RC crawling for a little over 3 years now and 3D printing for about 6 months, both are vary enjoyable hobbies (frustrating at times but fun). I have printed a lot of stuff thanks to My Min Factory and Thingiverse, but the print I most proud of is the Axial SCX10iii Jeep JL parts set from My Mini Factory and Knight customs. I replaced all the fenders and rock sliders added in the grill insert, snorkel and hinges around the whole body. Its not perfect but I love it. Sorry bout the counter shots but I have a hard time getting down for close ups. I also have a custom build in the process as well in sitting on the elements trail runner chasse with the F-250 body I 3D printed the mount for the Proline back half cage and head light buckets. I also have the Axial Wraith 2.2 that I have 3D printed the inner fender wheels (all around) and the inner bed liner for the relocation of the electronics.
Hey there, here is a Toyota Tacoma all 3d printed with my qidi x.max and an elegoo Saturn . Hope you guys like it .
Description: This is exactly what it looks like, a DeLorean stuck on an RC crawler. I'm not sure where I got the inspiration from but it just seemed cool. I used Ryan Magid's design (URL Below) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3021924 I downloaded it and inserted it into Fusion 360 to size it and cut it in half so it would fit on my printer. I printed it in two parts. The first print took around 22 hours, but support removal on the time machine half was nearly impossible. I printed the back half again at a different orientation and it finally worked (with a few scars around the wheel wells). I had some warping issues, especially on the back part so I filled it with wood glue, and then wood filler. To attach the pieces, I got a loose hold with super glue, then filled it with wood glue to get a strong hold, and the filled the gap that the warping caused with wood filler. I then sanded it down, and did some detailing with a toothpick. The filament I used was grey to start, and I used acrylic paint to color the time machine and the windows. To attach the car to the RC crawler, I put paint on the original mounting posts the held the old RC car together, and then put the DeLorean on the four posts. From there I simply found a drill bit slightly smaller than the diameter of the posts, and drilled holes into the car where I had put the paint. From there, I put it on and it fit with pressure. Spiel: Wow, this project was a real challenge. The first file I found was full sized so I was basically asking my PC to cut a 14 foot car in half. I also had no idea how to edit a mesh In Fusion 360 so I had to watch a lot of videos. I finally found the right file, cut it in half, deleted all of my progress, started over, cut it into three pieces, decided that it would be stupid to print in three parts, and then changed it back to two parts. I then proceeded to print it and find that even with the support density at 7.5, it was impossible to take it all off, and messed up the model. I printed the back half again and painstaking took off all of the support. I got the cheapest crawler I could find which ended coming from walmart. Being cheaper turned out to work in my favor. It was surprisingly fast and the truck-looking part that came with it was held on with flimsy R-Clips, which I easily slid off to reveal the mounting posts. I utilized my mom's paint and paint brushes to color the time machine and windows. Rather than spending time measuring stuff, I put some pink paint on the mounting posts, and then aligned and pressed the car down to imprint the size and placement of the posts. From there I went to our workshop, found a drill bit about the same size as the poles, and used our drill press to drill the holes. From there I just pressure fitted it in place. I took it outside for a short photoshoot. I also shot two videos but I was not able to upload them
RedCat Gen7 / Zil 157. This is my first rc custom project, and my first go at cad programs. The cab and dashboard is from Meuh974 on thingiverse. Scaled it to 95% to fit the gen7 frame. I made the fenders narrower using tinkercad. The battery mount is from KgrothJensen on thingiverse. I shorted it a bit and made some extra holes for straps in tinkercad. The fulecell is from Gynovin and the jerrycans from HarleyDesigns, both on thingiverse. I used tinkercad to group them together, and made them hollow to cover the spur- and pinion gear. The white 2.2 beadlocks are designed by Goodsons_Hobbies. The rock-sliders, bed/cab-mount, spare wheel holder, and rear servo-mount I made in Fusion 360. The same goes for the 4link mount for the Axial scx10 rear (front) axle. It gives the truck 4ws. This was the component that started the build. Stock gen7 body and 4ws ain't all that cool =) I painted and decal ed the cab to make it look like it came from a Russian firetruck. I am rely happy with how the truck came out so far. More details like wipers, door handles and interior is in planing. But now it's driving season!! =) MVH Lars

Still wanting interior with driver, scale accessories and frame skid rails along with everything for my other crawlers.
This build started as an Axial SCX10-2 raw builders kit. All of the 3d printed parts were made on my Sovol SV01 using PLA from Hatchbox. I printed the cab, doors, panels, hood, grill and light buckets and I found the files on Thingiverse from a creator named Meuh974. I used CA glue to put every together, I used Tamiya putty to fill and smooth. Lots of sanding. The rock slider/body mounts are my design and they were rendered on Blender. I printed the 1.9 beadlock wheels from files I found on Thingiverse from a creator named Goodson-Hobbies. The small flatbed is my design and was rendered on Blender. I printed the door handles from files I found on Thingiverse from a creator named Pascals. And my favorite touch is the Axial logo hood ornament. I downloaded the logo from the Axial Racing website, rendered it in Blender and printed it. The stinger was made from solid brass rod. I made the genuine leather hold down straps, stained them, and used screws and ball studs to fasten them. And I cut and weeded the decals from my wife's Cricut from SVG files that I got from a friend.
This is my 3D printed FJ45 flatbed camper. I built/designed/printed this after watching too many YouTube overlanding channels. The cab and camper are fitted to an Axial SCX10.2 Builder's Kit. The FJ45 cab was designed by scale3DRC and the camper I designed myself in OnShape. I drew the camper plans with some inspiration from 4WheelCamper's "Hawk" flatbed camper. The camper mounts to the frame rails with a section that houses the radio receiver and electronics for controlling the truck along with 2 light bars, headlights, taillight controller, exterior pod lights and a winch. This truck is somewhere around 130 Hours of printing. Being on the 10.2 platform, the truck is surprisingly capable but very topheavy. It is very fun to drive and gets lots of compliments when it goes out. Thanks for doing this giveaway and being such an amazing platform for our hobby. I've been an RC enthusiast and I teach Jr. High Drafting/Design so making stuff to 3D print on my tiny trucks was a no-brainer. It's very exciting to see Hemistorm expand into this area, because I'm sure he'll create amazing things.

A friend gave me an old, beat up RC4WD Land Rover D90 body and I decided to make something special out of it for my first project build. Apart from the slightly modified stock dashboard, I built the rest of the interior out of styrene. I had the cage and canopy specially made. To enhance the truck I had the following 3D parts printed: - Seats out of resin (Thingiverse 1/10 scale junk rod seats by Excense) - Rear window grille (Thingiverse Defender D90 Window Grille by domi1974) - Cults3D 3Dsets Rancher Momo Steering Wheel Option by SUPERCATERMAN) - The generator, jerry can and battery are random items I bought at a tiny truck event. The body is mounted on a Gelande 2 chassis with K44 axles, Holmes Hobby Trailmaster 35T motor, Hobbywing 1080 ESC, GMade steel wheels, Dick Cepek Mud Country tires, Junfac driveshafts and GMade RSD shocks.
My SCX10ii Based Scale Prerunner/Trophy Truck build. It started as a SCX10ii Raw Builders Kit, where I slowly transformed it in to a full-fledged offroad machine. The custom roll cage stems from a Proline Half-Cage, where I used 1/4 Nylon rods to make a complete roll cage around the chassis. Then, a custom IFS front end from a Slash 4x4 was added. I shortened the suspension arms, links, and driveshafts to make it more scale. The body is a cut Proline Raptor Body, with Proline Ranger Fender Flares, all wrapped in 3M Shadow Black vinyl. (I wrapped it because I don't have legendary painting skills like Hemistorm) Using an assortment of 3d printed and custom parts, I mounted a TRX4 2 Speed Transmission, Yeti Trailing Arms, Proline Powerstroke XT Shocks, and multiple scale accessories, including a 3/4 (Not quite full but its not very 1/2 either) interior. Some 3d Printed parts include Transmission mounts, large rear shock posts, front shock posts, wheel hexes, multiple bedside mounts, an ESC mount, Reciever boxes, and multiple scale details, such as a complete dashboard, steering wheel, a racing seat, engine oil bottles, a floor jack, tire iron, shovel, radiators, engine bay, and the tiny, probably-too-small-to-pass-saftey-standards-fire extinguisher. A big thank you to everyone who hosted their files, allowing me to use and modify them, ikletti, Eli15, ScaleAddiction, Superclodbuster, pmatt1752, Poh, Stepan, Wavelog, PHPaul, StomperXJ (Racer32), dkstr, and Huskiefluff. A long list, but I really couldn't have done it without the awesome parts that they designed. And also a big thanks to everyone on the Rccrawler forums, who had to endure my endless stream of questions. And finally Fusion 360, which made designing parts incredibly easy. Heres a link to a doc that has all the links to the files I used: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Phe6EMQCMIg2i8jfo_ZcdRuXhpf91uyyC3zgANNfSM0/edit?usp=sharing And finally a specs list for those interested: Axial SCX10ii RBK Kit, Hobbywing AXE R1 2700KV Combo, Traxxas 2075x Servo, TRX4 2 Speed Transmission, Traxxas Slash 4x4 IFS with Front TRX4 GTS shocks, Traxxas 6779 Stampede front Diff, SSD Yeti Trailing Arms, Proline Powerstroke XT Rear shocks, Que-T 1.9 Beadlocks, Rclions Sway Bar kit, Proline KM3 4.19 Tires, SSD Assassian beadlocks (Spares), RC4WD Dick Cepek 1.9 (Spares)
Second life for my old vs4-10 half cab body. Im cut the roof and aim added a origin internal cage from Knight_Customs files. The pain was removed from the inside and painted with silver and orange tamyia ps paint On the outside I was painted with black tamiiya first coat and than Montana sand brown mate paint. interior also have a bunch of extra 3d printed parts from Knight_Customs. Overall 90% off scale detail came from my 3d printer. Hope U like it. Regards!

This is my gatekeeper with bed and panels printed 3d
My Element Gatekeeper did not have any receiver box, so I desgned one. It didn't have lights so I couldn't use it during the night... I designed my own front grille for angel eyes headlights... then I added some rear panels that I got from STH. I am very happy with it! Rgds from Spain!
My axial gladiator was incomplete when I bought it. It needed some parts for a more scale look, so I started printing a rear cage with a 2 bike holder. Then I designed some internal parts to make lexan stronger. I also modded some bumper designs I found to make them fit on my Gladiator. Most parts are painted with textured bumper paint. Added some knight customs parts and now it's complete!! My favourite truck!!
My wife's Element Sendero was so simple. First I added some chassis plates to make it stronger. Then I designed a guide for the winch servo to make it functional. I designed also new rocksliders, my own rear cage, and the most important part... rear custom headlights that works fantastic with the light kit installed, which has brake lights, turn signal lights and so on... it looks completely different!!
I call it the umg10iii, like the name says it’s a 10iii whit a umg10 6x6 body. I made a paint job similar to something you could fin in the Jurassic park universe. It’s rocking a knight custom front grill and some 3d carbon filament belly under protection that I designed. I did all the bumpers and rock rails in mild steel and TIG welded. It got some nice holeshots wheel from incision and voodoo klr x4 narrow tires. It’s powered by a SW4 esc and a holmes revolver 1800kv motor and the steering is a holmes shv800. You can see more of my fabrication work on my instagrams page @m.a.c._9
I ordered this 3D printed JL 4doors body from a famous builder @nopthebuilder (which when i asked him what is the 3D printing machine he used and he answered that he build his own machine...wow) so the first thing came in my head is to get a Harley Davidson color scheme with some water decal sticker printed by myself, actually it came with dashboard only and now my future plan is to make my own interior so i wish i can win this to make my own 3D printed stuff
This is my scx 10 iii with a proline 66 Chevy body that I did the salt technique to. I also ordered the 3d printed trim and interior form rc nerds on shapeways as I don't have access to a printer. They came in white nylon and took a bit to sand but were great quality. These parts include bit may not be limited to the grill, turn signal buckets and lenses, brake lights, mirrors, tailgate latches, chrome trim, interior, badges, and maybe more. I sanded them, chrome painted them, and then used modern masters rust paint on them. I also designed and built my own wiring harness for the lights, mad the cloth seat, and added Arnold. Thanks Chris, I really enjoy your no bs content. In the day I am also a carpenter. I've learned a lot from your paint and fab videos. Feel free to delete my first attempt at submitting this. My fat thumbs got the better of me. Cheers
The cars name is red lighting the body was hand painted with all parts I designed all the parts but the car body
Hello all, here's my entry for the RC crawler customizer competition. This is my 1/10 Jeep Cherokee XJ that I have built using a mixture of 3D printed parts and parts purchased online. I installed a 3D-printed roof rack from Thingiverse designed to fit the Axial XJ body, but fit this Injora body perfectly. The accessories in the roof rack and the trunk were found on Thingiverse and Myminifactory along with the front bumper and folding mirrors. I had already managed to lose a door handle, which gave me the chance to design one myself as a replacement (just lost another :P) Underneath the body is where the 3D-printed action shows. I purchased some SCX10 frame rails offline and printed most of everything else to complete the chassis. To make it easier to see, everything bright blue here is 3D printed (some found on Thingiverse or designed by me). I used SCX10.2 links, Redcat Gen8 shocks, Injora transmission with driveshafts, and AX10 axles. I also 3D printed the 1.9" beadlock wheels from Thingiverse and used 3D printed hubs to cover the wheel nut.
Vanquish VS410-PRO with Proline Jeep body. Decked out for Halloween with items I printed from Thingiverse files.
VS4-10 decked out with expedition accessories staged in my scale garage. All accessories are printed by me from either my own design or Thingiverse files

This is a Hummer H2 1/10 in a custom chassis. Most of the parts of this build have been designed by me. The chassi of the crawler is custom made with aluminium rails, it has front and back shock towers that also the back one works as a base for the ESC. It has custom 3D printed battery trays which are the mounting points for the metal rock sliders. To hold the transfer case I also made another 3D printed piece as well as the back hinge support piece in the body and chassis. As decoration it has self-made find deflectors in the front windows, radio and back ladders to access the roof rack. Jerry Cans ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3614620 ), high lift jack ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3614597 ), chainsaw ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3614639 ) and sand ladders are from thingiverse. The other roof rack accessories are from different stores like the Hummer H2 moddel or the bikes.
Hello, this is a custom made Land Rover Defender 110 with a trailer. The body of this crawler is custom made in styrene as it can be seen in this two videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5vq6XCSQYY&t=2s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IBGvJSAsks&t=11s). The back ladder, side rock bar, hood hinges, windshield wipers, roof rack accessories ( https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-scale-kayak-1-10-27523 ), front and rear bumper are from thingiverse. Front bumper mount, hood air intakes, back license plate, front light covers, fuel cap and roof rack are self designed. The body needs a new paintjob and there are more 3D printed pieces I want to add to this build but is allmost done. It has also custom made mud flaps. The trailer is from thingiverse ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3543490 ) and the rest of the trailer will include styrene parts and 3d printed parts. The rims are also 3D printed ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3098238 ).
This is an Orlandoo Hunter OH35P01. It's and unfinished proyect in 1/35 scale but it has some 3D printed parts. Front bumper, rear bumper, rims and roof rack are 3d printed. In a near future I will add some 3d accessories a part form finishing the paintjob.
This is an Orlandoo Hunter OH35A01. It has 3d printed rims, roof rack and also protection bars. It has a custom paintjob as well as custom self-made stickers. It was a fun and little build!
This is a HG P601 1/10 scale version of a Mercedes-Benz G63 6x6. I designed some front lights, mercedes-benz logos and nut caps for the rims and printed some high lift jack, jerry cans, fire extinguishers and roof rails.
Here's my Redcat Gen8 with 3D printed accessories. I installed an ElementRC Trailrunner body with Knight Custom front fascia, light lenses, light buckets, awning, and roof rack. The rock sliders are designed by me as well as the bike rack, flag mount, rear diffuser, and hitch receiver. The sand ladders on the roof rack were found on Thingiverse and printed on my Ender 3, Knight Customs parts purchased from Myminifactory.
Traxxas Trx-4 with Vaterra Blazer body. A clean outside look with 3d printed mods for functionality: LCG 2 piece battery tray, hand modified to allow locker servo arm to be fitted in reverse (both locker servos are on one channel). Locker servo spline adapters to be able to use standard micro servos. Last but not least transmitter wheel thumb steer adapter.
Vehicle is a MST CMX chassis and axles with a knock-off transfer case and forward mounted 3 gear Axial transmission. First thing I did was print a rear mounted battery tray and my own sliders. Then I cut open the hood and printed out a firewall and fender supports. After that I printed my own design functioning hinges and hood latches. As for accessories I printed 2 fire extinguishers, a high lift jack, gas can, jack stands, jumper cables, tire iron, milk crate, toolbox, and a small cooler. For details I designed and printed my own licence plates and frames, then thingiverse front bumper, D-rings, wipers, mirrors, swing out tire carrier and a rim for spare tire. I also printed a scale engine for a motor cover and fully detailed the engine bay. I've had a printer about 4 months now and am really starting to enjoy its ability to open doors on a build. I just finished this vehicle July 6th and was able to get a little session in before dark. I couldn't find the file I used for the bumper so I can't credit that person.

This is my Office Crawler that is a work in progress when I have the free time to add to it. The base model is at Axial SCX24 2019 Jeep Wrangler 1/24 model that has the front doors removed and the back. I also mode where the batter fit to have more center weight but also for when I do the inter of the Jeep, I will have more options. In the back I add a truck bed with a box in it. You can find it here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/truck-bed-for-rc-car I also made an inter roll cage for the model. it has a little what and makes it easier to get it to roll back on the right side. Makes some climbs a little harder. You can find the model for it here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/role-cage-for-a-1-24-scale-rc-jeep Final I have a roof top tent that is printed out but I have not added the fabric to the tent yet. you can find the model here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/roof-top-tent Like I said this is my Office crawler it spends most of its time crawling on stuff on my floor. I sometimes play with it in the halls on late nights. In afternoons it spends it time playing in the parking lot and some of the trails close to my office.

Fully custom 3d printed RC Crawler with Omni wheels . Everything is printed on it that can be except for the electronics and battery stuff. The 3d printed parts : Body-it serves as motor slots, battery, compute and Motor driver module compartments as well as latches for quick access. Wheels- fully custom omni wheels that allow for 360 movement. Remote- the housing is fully 3d printed as are the electronics covers. It has a custom Arduino sketch handling communication between the controller and car. The sketch allows the custom motor controller circuit board to control the motors precisely to allow for omni directional movement.
A full RC truck out of PLA :D
IMPORTANT: Watch this video to know how I customized this RC crawler: https://youtu.be/evxHmzgR-ss #RC Crawler Customizer Competition! This is the first time I customize an RC crawler, and I found it very interesting in terms of adding functions and accessories using 3D printing embed with electronics parts that make it way better than just adding an accessory for its overall view. In this project, I've tried to recruit most of my skills to make something unique and creative. The first part is the catapult attached to the roof of the crawler and connected to a servo motor to trigger it when it needs to throw, and the servo motor is connected to an Arduino board with a motor shield and a Bluetooth module to communicate with the crawler using an application to control it easily. The other part is the winch, it is not new but I made it using 3D printed parts and a 3V geared motor with torque of approximately 50 rpm, then I added my touch in painting as you can see the white strips. I really enjoyed this project, hope it gets the contest requirements and hope to win. #RC_Crawler_Customizer_Competition To download the 3D printed parts please visit our original post with the specified files: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-bazooka-rc-crawler-customizer-competition-179368 Engineer Industry Hassan Nasser
This is my Suzuki Samurai 1/36 scale. its 1/36 scale because that was as small as I could go and still fit my scratch built electronics. I like them small so i can play on a desk top too. Everything on it was custom modeled and 3d printed by me. I made it tracked because honestly I thought it would be cool. It drives over little rocks and bumps pretty well. The tracks pop off every once in a while but overall its a pretty fun little car. Everything on it is 3d printed that can be. The only things that aren't are the electronics. in the future I plan on painting it and making a trailer for it that I can use to tow spare parts for fun. I hope you enjoy my little monster of a project.
Very satisfying work that led me to struggle for a good result, there are still details to improve but I am satisfied because it is my first print so large and complex
3D printed parts: Custom designed: Body extension plate battery holder motor mount servo mount wheel nut 8mm to 12mm adapters body mount poles Adapted from: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-main-part-edited-12595 Fully body, printed in 7 main sections
Presenting the fx7- an Arduino-based robust model. Design specifications: This teleoperated rover is controlled using Bluetooth paired to a mobile app. This RC car consists of 2 main rectangular frames. These frames are interlocked in a manner similar to Lego. This design allows for a sturdy binding of the car while also letting the user make quick adjustments to the wires or code of the Arduino. The bottom frame consists of all the necessary components, such as an Arduino board, wires, and Bluetooth module (for compatibility with every device). A dirt bumper is also attached to the front of the mainframe- this helps provide some mechanical advantage when moving heavy objects. The four motors are placed under the bottom frame in a manner that provides an additional height. This helps the car cross over obstacles as tall as 2 cm. A compartment has also been created to accommodate 4AA batteries. Total manufacturing time (3D printing): The approximate time to print all the parts is 10 hours. All components have to be printed separately, with different dimensions and measurements. Everything will be detailed below for ease of printing. For optimal results, include supports while printing parts. Dimensions: 13.2 x 10.1 x 8 cm Base material: PLA plastic Microcontroller model: Arduino Uno and motor driver shield. Motors and wires used: 4 dual shafts 100rpm BO motors, male and female jump wires, and HC05 Bluetooth module. Estimated battery life: 4AA 1.5V batteries (1hr 30m) Functions: Extraterrestrial exploration -this design is a prototype that can be modified to include thermal mapping, satellite imaging, and other customizable features. Have fun tinkering!
Let's start here, I love the passion for Rc's., from my childhood growing up, we never had money like other kids. I'm 59 now and I own the 3D printer that I built from scratch as a hobby. Creating this pickup was a challenge but over the days that followed I was inspired by this pickup designed by ..... RC Chevrolet 3100 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:46261 I have modified it and in the same token and added a battery box on the back of the truck & created my own version I hope you like it as much as I do as it was hrs of fun creating this pickup, thank you all for a great place to share my pick up with you all, Perry M
This axial scx 10ii that I revamped to give it more of a hotrod look that I was wanting. I used the body and the grill parts, I added a new battery case and cover to mount the fenders of my hotrod crawler truck, the side steps were the hardest to make. The fire wall which holds my esc, there is led holes so keep all the wires hidden to make it look nice, the last things wear the costume led mounts for the back and front this is the link to the SCX 10 II FORD 32 Hotrod https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3787202 Thank you for reading and taking a look at my hotrod crawler truck Ja’Naar
This is my Traxxas TRX-4 with an Oshkosh MATV body. Original body design was done by 3DLabPrint (https://3dlabprint.com/shop/oshkosh/). I actually printed the body way back in Aug 2019, but it kept getting bumped down the list by other projects until this contest came up. The original design didn’t allow for a full size interior, so I integrated the sills/sliders into my interior design. The entire interior was designed by me. I made the front and rear bumpers out of 16ga steel, so that I could design a magnetic body mounting system. The front bumper is 3 separate pieces bolted together, and integrates the winch. I’ve done some 3D printed parts and scale accessories before, but this my first full body. This was also my first attempt at weathering, but I’m pretty happy with the result as my first try. Mechanical upgrades include Locked Up RC black steel c-hubs, knuckles, and portal covers, 45/12 gearing, Reedy 5-slot, Hobbywing 1080, Savox 1230sg, Reedy 3S shorty LiPo, and Spektrum radio gear. Wheels are Axial military style bead locks from the UMG, Tires are PitBull Rock Beast (non-XL) with Crawler Innovations Lil’ Nova foams.
Hello, here is my class2 3D printed chassis that i design. the idea is to make a low cost build for all ! Using some parts from Axial scx10 you can do this rig for cheap and get a performant stuff in competition .
I ordered a hardbody 3D printed Jeep JLU Rubicon (like the SCX10iii) the maker said that he customized his own 3D print machine so i don't know what is the brand of it, it's made from PLA and it come out nice, just need a sanding and filling ( a lot), with the color scheme of a Harley Davidson official car (because i'm a rider of Harley), after the finishing touch it satisfied me because there's no brand came out with this hardbody yet as far as i know, so the next step is i would like to have my own 3D printing machine to print another scaled accecories for my rig to make it better, thx for the chance to share and win anyway

OSHKOSH 6x6 truck. Homemade.
My crawlers : OSHKOSH 6x6 homemade Roll cage « Predator » Chevy pick up SAMIL 20 truck
This is my Ascender for which I've 3d printed a bunch of parts, most of them designed by myself to either improve the trucks performance or looks Even though I've had it for a bit over five years it's still in development although some parts take longer time to develop than others The first part to be designed was the grill with the modern version of the Chevy front end rather than the old one that came with the kit, I prefer the later version of the grill but I think i did it a bit too good because most people seem to think it's a stock grill and not 3d printed. The rims are made to look like the Texas star because where else to a flake covered, flame painted off road kited Chevy Blazer appear than in the US south, the rims are three piece bead locks and they have a slightly different offset than the stock rims to clear the body a bit better to minimize some of that nasty tire on body scraping sound Further I've designed a battery mount be able to run the truck on a 5000mah 3s lipo and still use the stock mounting system where the battery tray is connected to the front axle. The battery mount I feel have made a great difference giving the truck great stability and climbing capabilities, if I run it on a smaller 2200mah battery I feel a great difference in how the truck performs, also the 5000mah battery give me up to 8-10hrs of driving time so I never have to carry extra batteries with me while on the trails Further the truck receiver box made to look like some sort of a fuel cell but I went a bit overboard with the design and it features dual Chevy logos underneath that where ment to be lit but I haven't gotten that far yet, at least it's made to be water tight and houses a 10ch receiver because we all need more channels, right The roof rack are also of my own design and once again I got a bit carried away with the design, it have several Chevy logos all around which nobody have seen, it was only recently that someone saw the Chevy logos in the roof top lights only because the led lights have started to act a bit weird. I made the roof rack with a mounting system that hides the rear mounting poles and pins which have manage to make a few people to think it's a real truck rather than a toy truck The lights on the roof rack are modeled after Lightforce biggest lights and feature an attempt at having parking/effect lights and full beam, the first is still under development and I'm looking at ways of making the lenses a bit clearer to get better light from them The inner fenders are bought models which I have modified to add rock lights (future project), mud flaps (yes they hav the Chevy logo) and also had to modify them to make room for the above mentioned battery mount. That's it for now, I have a few thing I'm working on for this truck such as better taillight, an improved grill, better looking rims and new inner fenders that don't scrape the paint of the body. To me 3d printing means I can make the things I want and not have to worry if they brake, if they do I just improve if needed and make new ones. I probably wouldn't have any 3d printers if I didn't have my rc's but then again I wouldn't have the rc's I do without my 3d printers, to be able to make a quick esc mount really means that the hobby gets so much easier
This is my Hot Rod Project I picked it up from a friend that gave up on the build, full custom C channel frame and custom 3D printed body, front rimes wheel and blower on the motor. There a lot of personal modification that I would love to do on this build and on other builds. Stay tuned for more on The Tank RC Facebook and YouTube page
