3D Printed Touring Car Build - The Veltro

Today on RCPrinter we're 3D printing, building and doing an initial trial run of the Veltro touring car by 3D designer Tahustvedt. This is a complete build including paint and decals. The Veltro is a remake of the popular MkUltra car by the same designer to be a touring car rather than a buggy.

Man this little car is cool and fast :)

Your gear mesh sounds super tight!

Wooooooooooow!!!!!! I just saw it, thank you so much! 💜

Glad you're enjoying the channel 😄

Love the MR2 body!! Wonder if the drywall tape and shoe goo trick would make it tougher.

[@rcprinter]

I'm sure it would

[@Poulpc]

Nice build video

[@rcprinter]

Thanks dude :)

[@BasBoyRC]

Cool print/build. I have to say the pinion and spur are very noisy.

[@77LaKoS77]

Thats right, very noisy.

[@rcprinter]

yup they are... I installed a 3d printed spur that could be it... it also could be the belts. Haven't had a chance to figure that out yet.

[@77LaKoS77]

@@rcprinter I think that are the gears. When i drive the MKUltra with the belts it's so quite, as the Robak.

[@rcprinter]

@@77LaKoS77 ok, new spur has arrived so I'll give er a go soon.

[@rcprinter]

@@77LaKoS77 Tried switching from the 3D printed spur to an associated plastic spur and am still getting the squeal. I get the same thing on my MkUltras. My guess is the belts.

[@codyrugemer6529]

Love the Chanel and the website. Planning on building a few from the kits you offer. What tools do you recommend?

[@rcprinter]

Depends on the project but the most important things would be hex drivers (handled or for a screw gun) and a soldering iron for your electronics.... and a 3D printer :) I find my dremel pretty useful as well but you can get by with a hacksaw and files for cutting up any metal bits.

[@williambailey9012]

What’s the wheelbase of this little RC? I have a 1/12th 3D printed body but I am unsure how to match it to an R/C frame.

[@ajahniepemberton1860]

yk what I find crazy I just look across the room at my 3D-printed mr2 it is not finished yet needs to be finished painted and I.m putting bigger wheels on it but your video was very helpful it's just crazy I ran into someone with the same project

[@rcprinter]

Hey man, I hope you have a blast finishing it off! It sure is fun to drive.

[@gibsonf06]

Can this work with any body? Like a tamiya body or other?

[@rcprinter]

I haven't tried but if you check the files here: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/veltro-1-10-rally-touring-car-chassis there are files for Tamiya Body Posts. In the description it says: "Any 190 mm touring or rally body can be fitted."

[@3D_printer_guy]

Can this be run on brushed motor aswell? It looks like it would fit.

[@rcprinter]

oh for sure... anything in a 540 size (~35mm diameter) would probably work well but it might start to get pretty hot if you want one that goes as fast as this one (13.5T brushless is what I have installed)

[@treerecords1551]

u should build rofi.....its on thingy...

[@rcprinter]

He looks pretty cool, will consider adding to the list although its a bit out of my wheelhouse. That's a lot of servos to organize! The tablet they use is long discontinued so it would be good to see an update... I built a SMARS once and I was looking at the spotmicro although its still a work in progress so I wasn't sure how successful I'd be without being a competent programmer. Building these robots is the definitely the easy part, getting them to move properly takes much more skill.

[@zeerk2466]

lol i just got the mr2 in real life, weird seeing this in recommended

[@rcprinter]

The Google is all-knowing!

[@tqdesign9288]

You'll enjoy it mate. I used to have an MR2 and it handled lovely.

[@zeerk2466]

@@tqdesign9288 drives like a bathtub right now, but i m rebuilding the entire suspension over the winter...

[@fastslash25]

spur and pinion look like they are too close together, car is acting like it has the brakes on. cool build though

[@rcprinter]

Thanks I'll check that.
