# Traxxas E-Revo 1:16 slicks *EDIT: I made a blog post about this. you can find it here:* http://blog.octomy.org/2017/07/creality-cr10-cura-settings.html **Original design**: Lennart Rolland. **For project**: OctoMY™ (http://octomy.org). **Description**: This is the first of a series of experimental designs for 3D printed wheels for Traxxas E-Revo 1:16 RC car. It is designed to be easily adaptible to other RC cars. **Please note**: This is a prototype design that has already been superseeded by better ideas. ### Pros + It fit the wheel mount of the car on first try! + The low mass made it really accellerate fast. + The slick design was fun to drive. + The spokes worked really well. ### Cons - The outer wall thickness ("tire surface") was too thin and running over gravel poked holes in it on the first run. - The hex part of the mounting hole was to shallow. Will add more depth in the next iteration - The thickness of the wall in the hex part of the mounting hole felt too thin, and will be increased by 2mm in the next iteration **Overal**: Albeit the obvious room for improvement I am still quite happy with the result! **Standard disclaimer:** This work is provided as a convenience and for informational purposes only.
