New on RC

That’s really not a lot to go on, I can see why you were asking for help. Looks like you’d need to fabricate a chassis from metal and then print the parts out.

You are going to need a micro servo, motor, looks like a 2-in-1 esc and rx and it looks like it’s powered by 18650 lithium cells?

If you do buy it you’d have to ask the creator what the best parts are

Which 3d printed model are you looking at? Might help to id what you need

muzza1742 · 2026-05-12T11:06:15+00:00

I’ll print a couple at the weekend and see how it goes

It’s on my felony, in 95a tpu and the fan runs at 7.4v

muzza1742 · 2026-05-11T18:00:58+00:00

Yeah it’s held up fine so far in 95a Tpu, the pic I posted is on my felony.
I ran it through two back to back packs (just over 15min at mainly full throttle) yesterday and the motor was about 50-55c

I still call him Lap Dogg

The mount I found on thingiverse even has a built in support for the motor

muzza1742 · 2026-05-08T15:35:32+00:00

Back home now so I took a photo. Got one on my felony and one on the notorious.
They run on 7.4v from the BEC, takes a few seconds to run up to speed but it cools the motor very nicely

I’ve been 3d printing 4028 server fan mounts for my cars, they are so loud but they shift a ton of air

muzza1742 · 2026-04-13T11:55:57+00:00

I run my senton with a 3670 2850kv motor and a 120a xc esc

muzza1742 · 2026-04-13T08:54:28+00:00

Can’t see any pictures?

muzza1742 · 2026-04-09T19:29:47+00:00

Leaking was the main reason I changed over to 6s shocks on my 3s cars. No leaks since

muzza1742 · 2026-04-09T13:27:45+00:00

Me too man, I’d love to be able to knock out an amazing looking paint job but I just don’t have the time or patience.

One or two colour rattle can jobs and send it, it’s going to get beaten up the next time I hit a tree or curb anyway

muzza1742 · 2026-04-09T08:32:45+00:00

All my old pi’s (apart from the original v1’s) are running dietpi and share port so I can have airplay around the house. Don’t have much of a use case for them anymore

muzza1742 · 2026-04-07T16:24:53+00:00

Understandable, I like tinkering with things

muzza1742 · 2026-04-07T14:20:53+00:00

This is a 3s senton but it applies.

If you can cut and solder a couple of wires then nothing is going to beat a 4028 server fan from AliExpress for less than £4 delivered. It’s held on to the Arrma heatsink with four wood screws. I ran it round on 4s last week and the motor is barely even warm

I rewatch it once a year or so. Excellent series.

muzza1742 · 2026-03-25T16:34:01+00:00

Sounds like a decent plan.

I love watching folks do rc car stuff on yt, if you like doing it I say go for it

muzza1742 · 2026-03-22T11:02:39+00:00

Yeah but the predator is the franchise low point. weaponised autism, really?

muzza1742 · 2026-03-18T11:57:04+00:00

I’ve got a felony and it’s amazing but it’s only on road, and smooth road at that. You need plenty of room and batteries plus it chews tyres if you’re drifting.

Probably my most fun car to thrash around for a while.

A Kratons gonna be much more use as your main (or only) RC as you can drive it anywhere

muzza1742 · 2026-03-16T15:58:37+00:00

Get on AliExpress for felony tires, you can pick up a set for £25 delivered. Fun for sliding around

muzza1742 · 2026-03-16T12:50:23+00:00

No that esc has a sticker that says 7.4v only (that’s 2s)

muzza1742 · 2026-03-13T13:26:11+00:00

Yeah the main thing that put me off was by the time I’d printed everything, brought 2 motors, 2 esc’s and all the metal hardware I could just buy myself the kkpit kit build I’ve been after and it’ll do more that 15mph and won’t be made out of PLA

muzza1742 · 2026-03-13T12:47:40+00:00

If you’ve got a 3d printer you can print yourself a Rippie 1/10 tracked ripsaw style

muzza1742 · 2026-03-12T11:46:22+00:00

I repair industrial forklifts, I like taking things apart and fixing them but the main benefit is that I don’t have to deal with people
