Pinewood Derby Car - Prop Powered

thingiverse

Pinewood derby car for unlimited class. Powered by an electric motor and 5 inch prop. I used a radio to turn on and off the prop. Links to the parts I used are shown below.

The bottom and wheel wells do not require supports. I used PLA, but ABS should be print fine too (probably better since it should be lighter). Post-Printing Assembly The body snaps onto the bottom. I used solid axles supplied in the example kit. The wheel wells were super glued to the bottom. The motor screws on as in the picture with the screws that come with the motor. How I Designed This I use FreeCad for design work and Netfabb for post processing my designs.
