3D Printed Part Saves the $20 RC Nitro Car, Does it Start? (Evader Update Video)
In this video, we continue right where we left off. We noticed a couple broken parts that required to be fixed to get this $20 find back up and running.
The front bulkhead where the lower control arms attached was one of the components that was broken. We remove this and replace it with a part that was 3D printed. The part was 3D printed out of PLA material. Although PLA material is very strong, it can not with stand any sort of impact. In other words don't crash!. This is the only concern I have with the newly 3D printed part.
The second item that requires fixing is the servo for steering. Oddly enough, the steering servo does appear to have failed due to nitro fuel breaking down the plastic. This brings us to the 3rd item which I had not confirmed in the last video.
Item number three is the fuel tank. Not only was the fuel tank leaking fuel all over the car but it was also oddly designed with the pressure feed going half way in to the tank. Priming the engine using the exhaust pressure method, was not a good idea to say the least. (there's evidence why in the video)
I'm hoping to continue experimenting with 3D printing on this RC nitro evader to see what kind of gearing I can change too. I will first try and print a duplicate of the gear and then try some alternate gearing methods. This does include changing the pitch of the gear! Stay Tuned!
