Description

RC Car - Dragon R1

These are the features which liked to incorporate in this design;

Maximum 3D printed parts
Easy to source hardware
Simple Assembly
Easy maintenance and battery access
Dual wishbone suspension
Open differential
Low noise drive (using Blheli ESC)
Printable with a 200mm size printer

If you want to add some more cool features, Go ahead; The whole project is Open Source.

3d printing:

PLA filament - around 800g required
Flexible filament - for tyres

Hardware:

608 bearing - 6pcs
M3 Screws:
M3 8mm - 35pcs
M3 12mm - 22pcs
M3 16mm - 4pcs
M3 20mm - 10pcs
Ø2mm rod - 16mm
Rubber bands

Electronics:

Generic 2212 BLDC motor
ESC (Blheli ESC recommended)
9g Servo
2-3S Lithium Battery
RC Transmitter and Receiver

Step 1: A Look Into the Design

The motor used here is a generic A2212 BLDC motor, this has enough power to reach good speeds without any heating issues.

The power from the motor is distributed to the rear wheels with an open differential.

The wishbone suspension uses common rubber bands, its works well.

A maintenance door is added to the underside of the car to allow easy access of the electronics and battery.

Likewise I have managed to use the least number of parts to simplify the assembly process without much trade-off in features.

Model is 1/12 scale;

length: 396mm
width: 164mm
height: 71mm

Step 2: 3D Printing the Parts

The parts can be printed with any 200mm size printer.

It is recommended to use rafts for small parts like gears.

PLA is recommended for all the parts. I have used Orange and Grey for a nice Dual colour look.

The tyres need to be printed with a flexible material like TPU.

Some parts are intricate and require a well calibrated printer to work well. So please start by printing the test print, this can help to check if your printer/ print settings are good.

Step 3: Lets Build It

The assembly process is divided into 3 main parts:

Rear chassis
Rear axle
Differential
Rear Suspension
Front chassis
Steering mechanism
Front suspension
Body assembly
Base chassis
Body

Finally connect the electronics, check the servo and motor direction. You're good to go

don’t waste your breath on this just wasted 150$ on this thing. hopefully Amazon will take back all the parts this thing took

@MAFIA_SKULL

why not have used PETG or CF

@user_2216783251

Yeah this doesn't look right... What printer in filament did you use? I've printed and constructed two of these with no problems. I use PETG carbon fiber for the body and ABS for the gears. remember you're not building a RC car frame like normal cars and then putting a flimsy body on top. The body is the frame when it comes to 3D printing RC cars 90% of the time

The project is very interesting and I certainly thank its creator for sharing it. Printing and assembling it allowed me to approach the RC world for the first time. Probably due to my mistake by delivering the maximum power from the engine you risk ruining the gears, personal advice to print the wear parts in ABS material

@Tobsi3D

Hi! I´m started to print the parts, and im wondering if there are some parts missing. Can't find the conection Parts for the steering....

The designer has replied

@MAFIA_SKULL

Hi, in photo 1, the original part, in the photo 2 new steering parts. This mod is in continuous and free development, many parts will be modified by users who decide to contribute to the project. Thanks for the feedback and happy printing.

Replying to @MAFIA_SKULL :

Thanks for reply...already figured it out. But still struggle with the pinion gear in this version...how do you connect that to the shaft of the motor?

This is a super cool model! I really appreciate the thought that went into this. Boosted!

@Mr_Morsle

I’m looking at the electronics needed and the wiring connection there’s a piece missing do we need it?

The designer has replied

@MAFIA_SKULL

Hello, what parts are missing?

@geckomonger5567

The U Joint Telescopic shafts in the axle file need supports underneath the shaft, they will fail unless sliced separately with supports. Otherwise this is a great creation and everything is well oriented
