RC Car Action: Readers Ride - Incredible 1/10 Beach Buggy with 3D-Printed Parts

GPS · Sep 8, 2013

This outstanding machine is the work of James Knight (you can find him on Facebook as Knight Customs), and we’ve never seen a prettier RC version of the classic dune buggy design. While the suspension and drivetrain are from the Tamiya SRB (the platform shared by the Rough Rider/Buggy Champ and Sand Scorcher) everything else is custom. We’ll let James do the talking…

This is the full race cage version of the car. The best thing about this type of car is there are so many ways to build it, so I made all parts interchangeable just like on the full size cars. The roll cage is shown raw. Shapeways offer a polished version of their parts to help in speeding up the finishing time. This part will probably get chromed to match the front screen. The body needed a few weekends of sanding and priming to get a really glossy finish. It still needs a final clear coat to really finish it off.
