Why Open Source?Be apart of somethingWhy not sell designs?

“Sharing is Caring”

3D printing showcaseSomewhat complex mechanical designMoving partsCool objectChallengingExpendableAn R/C car, “How hard can it be?”

“The process of plastic printing at the moment is simply not compatible with the needs of plastic components of RC cars. You will see prototype RC cars made from printed parts, but they are not strong enough for use in anything except ZERO load applications in reality.”

Game on!
