I watched a youtube video a few months ago with a guy in Japan at a model/hobby expo, and there was a 1:1 static model of a Nissan I think. Pretty awesome!
I thought the same thing. They probably went with a Cobra due to the small size.
Also, the story is sensationalized by implying they printed the car when they didn't. They printed some components of the car. Still impressive though and shows a glimpse into the future of manufacturing.
I saw this and thought it was worth posting. Very cool looking design.

This is not about the same car, but along the same general lines (at least in my mind). I could see a big future in r/c if this product hits mainstream. As light as aluminum, as strong as titanium - A fraction of the cost. I didn't want to start a...
I drew this thing up today. I am going to print them to check fits then hopefully it will be in alloy. Other parts for it I'm drawing as well but those are a little harder to get dimensions for. Based the dimensions on Chris's aluminum case. I'm...

Did you every start selling the gear box on shapewaves? If you did, what are the keywords to find the item? Thanks for your help.
I will soon (hopefully) get started working on a completely 3D printed rc10. But before I start that I would like to see everyone's 3d printed parts. From a shock cap to an entire vehicle I want to see it all!
Lets see what you got!

I think I will do it a little differently than is expected. I have decided to make my own aluminum chassis and do a mid motor car. I will use a lot of parts from a regular rc10 but with a custom chassis. But! That’s not to say that in the future I...
Well, I'm not trying to sell anything at this point so I hope the moderators understand and don't delete this post. I'm just curious as to what thoughts on the matter some people may have because I have access to the required software and equipment...

Cool…
It’s only a matter of time before there are affordable high resolution 3d printers for home use.
I’m looking at upgrading our current Objet – Eden 260V to a Connex 350. This will give me the ability to make high resolution ABS (like) parts…...
I recently had 2 Kyosho OT-85 center gears (idlers) printed by Shapeways.
The gears were printed MJF PA12. Vapor smoothing or any smoothing was not an option.
The gear faces are not particularly well finished. Probably nature of the beast.
I really...

Thanks Doug
It appears that to find any Google reference to the gear and find their site you must add acetal in the search terms.
Intro & Background
Hello everyone - I'm new here (as you can probably tell) so forgive me if I commit any infractions to unspoken rules. I read the forum rules and I think I've got everything down correctly.
Hello,
First off forgive any stupid questions as I have never had, nor worked on a pan car of any kind (except motors). A friend of mine at work had toyed with building an R/C car using 3D printed parts and all, just for fun. When I saw the RC12E...

I dont see why not? As soon as I get the other printed parts they can all get dyed.....havent decided on a color yet though.
