It's amazing to me that Robak 2 isn't the first result when I search for "3D printed truggy-style RC car". It should be! This car looks amazing.

Waiting for a mod with three pairs of whels, so the name would be more adequate

I've seen an attempt to use snow truck tracks instead of wheels 😁

Can you link please the front and the back led bars?

[@robaki-dev]

I've added the link to the BOM for the Knog Plus Lights. They might seem pricey for RC lights alone. Since I also use them on my bike, they were a reasonable choice for me. If you're seeking lights solely for your RC, you can consider more affordable led bars from AliExpress designed for RC

[@pioztube]

@@robaki-dev Yes, they are not cheap, but are amazing. Thanks for sharing the link.

How about 3Dgears, are they though?

[@robaki-dev]

Yeah, printed pinion and spur gears definitely do the job. The real challenge lies in getting the printer dialed in just right; paying close attention to your slicer settings, maybe having to reprint a few times, and tweaking things until you get the gear mesh perfect. I went with PA12 for these gears since it's supposed to be really good for this use, but I've seen people get great results with PLA+ too.
