OpenRC GoKart Build - Fully 3D Printed Scale GoKart

Today we're building the OpenRC GoKart! This is a full build video from start to finish including electronics installation, realistic motor cover install, metal axle upgrade and a belt drive upgrade as well. This was a budget-friendly build and here are some of the parts we used:
35T 540 Motor and ESC combo: rcprinter.com/...
Servo: rcprinter.com/...
Radio: rcprinter.com/...
Bearings: rcprinter.com/...
If you're looking to build one of these yourself you can find the files here: www.thingivers...
If you're interested in 3D printing your own RC vehicles check out our build kits at www.rcprinter.com

Great work, 3d printers are really awesome

[@rcprinter]

Agreed!

[@charlesyoung8600]

SO NEEDS A NITRO MOTOR!!!!!!😂

[@rcprinter]

That would definitely be more realistic

[@djserafin]

where did you get the wheels and tires?

[@rcprinter]

Tires: rcprinter.com/products/f104-tires-for-openrc-f1-front-and-rear I used the original openrc f104 wheels for the front and made my own rears with 14mm hexes. If you check the facebook group I think there's options posted there for wheels for these tires as well or you can go with any f1 RC wheels with 14mm hexes.

Spettacolare... ciao dall'Italia

[@rcprinter]

Ciao e grazie!

[@kjkareemslim]

BAD ASS ? WHERE CAN I GET THE MOTO AND PIPE

[@69fulmine]

Ciao, davvero bello è soprattutto bravo !!

[@rcprinter]

thanks!

[@jeremyyounger5442]

Great work any chance you could do a Forklift?

[@rcprinter]

That would be fun!

[@Poulpc]

Nice video

[@rcprinter]

Thanks!

[@chribrian]

Where did you find a 16t pully with a bore that matches the brushed motor ? Closest i can find is 4mm.

[@rcprinter]

I used an adapter sleeve like this: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006877696942.html

[@kjkareemslim]

? how much for you to print the parts for me. my printer not working at the moment

[@stevenhunter7619]

Please provide a link for the wheels and tires. Thank you

[@rcprinter]

The tires are the F104 tire option from the openrc F1 car with 3d printed rims: rcprinter.com/products/f104-tires-for-openrc-f1-front-and-rear

[@stevenhunter7619]

@@rcprinter what about the link to the rims please. Also noticed a few have asked about the air filter on the motor. This looks awesome and finishes off the engine perfectly. Can you please provide a link for the air filter. Love your work, thank you and I will have many hours of fun with my new toy!

Where you get the drive belt.

[@sandofpv9719]

I recommend you watch these videos;Go-Kart 3D Printed RC and Go-Kart 3DPrint 2 of my channel in one I learned the difference between TPU 84a and normal TPU apart from modifying the design several times to get more control of steering wheel turn, I also designed a helmet and a custom articulated dummy that also moved the head by means of a servo, in the helmet he has a "gopro" with a custom hole to put an FPV camera, I would like to see your version of the rider, of tires, see you try the FPV and finally I recommend a Gyro is the difference Nowadays my kart is very different from how it was proposed, and I have learned a lot about steering, geometries of the RC world and settings apart from designing in 3D and adjusting the printer

[@futurizonfr3368]

A real karting has a tubular chassis, it would have been nice to do it in 3D printing...

[@FarmerFpv]

You do it.

[@rcprinter]

Not a bad idea!

[@stevenhunter7619]

Can you add a link for the upgraded rear axle and belt upgrades. Loving this build! Thank you!

[@kjkareemslim]

I SEE YOU DONT HAVE THE PIPE HEADER IN THE FILE

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant work, dude! Really well done! 😃 Now you need to 3d print a pilot! How about a... Mario? 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@rcprinter]

Thanks Man, Mario is a great idea!

[@ripmax333]

What wheels/Tires did you Use?

[@thehydroblade]

Yeah, they have a mold parting line down the middle, so probably not printed.

[@rcprinter]

The tires are the F104 tire option from the openrc F1 car with 3d printed rims: rcprinter.com/products/f104-tires-for-openrc-f1-front-and-rear

[@thehydroblade]

@@rcprinter Cheers!

[@VrhoAirlines]

What is the scale(size) of GoKart?

[@IlicIlija]

What 3d printer are you using?

[@rcprinter]

Prusa i3 MK3S

[@IlicIlija]

Thanks you😊

[@thehydroblade]

Please mount a GoPro camera in the seat for an amazing FPV video!

[@rcprinter]

That would be cool!

[@christianerazorecalde4088]

Thanks for uploading this video. Is it okay for you if I put a link into the files on printables? I hope you enjoy the Kart :-)

[@rcprinter]

Yes for sure! Thank you so much for all your work on this project! I found that the files for the project on printables were less complete than the ones on thingiverse which is why I put those ones in the description.

[@akshajabhay]

Could you please provide the gear ratio and the motor specs...

[@rcprinter]

I used this brushed motor/esc combo: rcprinter.com/products/540-motor-60a-esc-combo-kit . You should use a 16T pulley and the 3D printed belt drive gear has somewhere around 70 teeth I think.

[@toepunch001]

Where’s Mario for it?

[@rcprinter]

future upgrade for sure

[@FarmerFpv]

Belts are less efficient than direct-drive gears. No need to use a belt since you are not using a jackshaft.

[@ВячеславСидоренков]

Very cool! Thank you!

[@rcprinter]

Glad you liked it!

[@gerardo.a.t]

@nqhmx uno así para el canal. Saludos 🤗

[@rcprinter]

Thanks!
