3D model of a 3D printed chassis and moving parts for a 1:24 scale Arduino-based Brushless Remote-controlled Drift Car with smoke effect and under-glow LEDs. (3D DESIGN ONLY)
Car designed by Max Imagination and inspiration for details taken from countless different real and miniature scale RC drift cars with the creative addition of humidifier modules for the added smoke effect when drifting.

π The car chassis assembly s 4-Wheel Drive with axle bearings (no differential), full suspension, adjustable chassis height, custom universal t wheel connectors, linked parallel steering mechanism, push-in/fastening component mounts, and body pin knobs for an optional body shell.
With over 100M of operating range, this hobby-grade RC car pairs up and is controlled with a 3D printed Arduino-based Pistol-grip Transmitter.
