a model Hot Rod for the pinshape cosplay comp ( Tony Starks ) , I have used parts from my Freedom Roadster to produce it. detailed assembly https://youtu.be/wRnmL47u2yo The model is for personal use only ! It has complete Printing and assembly instructions. You could user finer setting on your printer other than suggested to produce a smoother finish. It can be printed over a number of days , You will need a few basic tools and small screws to assemble it. ( it could also be heat staked together with a soldering iron, make sure the area is well ventilated ) All stl files are numbered to easily find on your printer read out and follow in the instructions. a quick video guide https://youtu.be/wRnmL47u2yo Model sizes Front track- 185mm Rear track- 193mm Overall length-370mm Body height-110mm over all height-135mm Max body width 147mm front wheel dia. 75mm by 14mm wide ( white wall) rear wheel dia.85mm by 19mm wide (white wall) If you decide to paint make sure you use a undercoat or spray putty and sand super smooth before applying the top coat. If Painting the flames should be done before you stick them to the body, You could also hand paint the flames on if you like. I really enjoy designing for 3D printing and assembling, most parts have a flat surface to print from and only a few have support. It also has flex tires. Don't be daunted by the number of parts, it assemblies together beautifully and you will enjoy the experience and the pleasure of viewing the model once finished. As an option you can add your RC control gear to it can be housed in the boot and a servo near the drivers feet position.
