– I HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE BUILD YET… But I love this project, I’m about halfway done with the printing and a a little behind in the build and so far this has been the most enjoyable project I have done with my printer (PRUSA mk3s) including the LACK enclosure and the orginal printer build… The prints are coming out beautifully (I am using Prusament not the recommended filament), I have had a few bed adhesion layers (my bed is old so this isn’t new for me… ) but overall this has been an enjoyable and almost frustration free build. I don’t own any RC vehicles but this looked too cool to not try… I’m glad I did…. Only recommendation would be for 3D sets to put together a part kit, I would have spent extra to buy the parts needed (non-printed that is) all at once from you to complete this build, but maybe that’s just because RC parts /components are all new to me….
Anyway great design can’t wait to do the mini-land rover next.

Just finished this build recently. Never really had much experience with RC, but figured it out with some web searches. I used the print ready plates and printed on my Prusa MK3S. I wish there was more info on the connectors and electronics, and maybe offer the screw sets as an added purchase option as it took a while to order and took a very long time to get through Aliexpress. All other parts came fairly quickly. My 10 year old really enjoyed helping (I recommend a cordless screwdriver with long magnetic bits). And we had fun setting up obstacles and driving the Rancher through them. I really appreciate the details and functional doors, hood and trunk π
