Is 3D printing the next hot trend in RC Modelling?

We believes it should be!

This trend within the RC scale community has the potential to change how we view 3D printing and at the same time provide a new way to engage community involvement, provide higher levels of detail and more variety to the RC Scale Hobbyist.

What we offer!

High quality, low cost, 3D printable file sets for hard body/shells, with a growing library of new models to choose from with a consistent release schedule. The models shown below are all examples of our shell files printed on a home based 3D Printer. You can view all of the available mode by clicking “THE MODELS” or also at the top right.

*We only offer the 3D printable files to purchase, which will require access to a 3D printer or 3D print service

Why we offer them?

When it’s right, it’s right!

The Right technology at the Right Time, for Higher detail, more hard body/shell variety and long term value!

Initial cost of a 3D Printer large enough? - $250.00 to $500.00.

Once you overcome the initial cost of the investment of a 3D printer, which in many cases is NO more expensive than a High End RC Scale Truck kit, you have the ability to not only print bodies for your scale chassis, but also print replacement parts, aftermarket accessories and even have a reason to learn 3D design for 3D Printing more RC related items! You can also help out your stunned friends with the files they decide to purchase.

This is DIY at a different level. No need to stack sheets, cut fingers or do complicated glue-ups hoping you can get one side to match the other side. As well, you can import our files into a 3D design software (there are plenty of titles to choose from, between free to paid), setup mirroring and design in the Software (for example “Door Handles”) which allows cutting down design time by 1/2.

We know, this sounds so far out of reach! We have you covered! We have published some “How to Videos” on our YouTube channel you can check out later when the time is right. For now you can link to our FAQ’s page to review several 3D Printer models that we have confirmed are large enough to print our body/shells or scroll down further to get an idea of the cost in supplies of printing our bodies/shells.

What is the on-going costs?

Average cost of Filament per 1 kg spool (PLA as example)? - $15.00 to $30.00

Spools of filament typically needed to complete a body/shell print? - 1(There is a learning curve, so this may vary)

Finishing, Mounting and Elbow Grease? - at your discretion. The more you spend the better the results.

Number of times you can use the purchased file sets in the event you break a body/shell? - Unlimited! (please review our honor system)

We are simple folk with a simple premise, “If we can do it, so can you!” So come on! Join us in this crazy adventure!
