3D Printed RC Car

My build of CurvLab's WR1, a 3D-printable 1/8 scale AWD RC rally chassis.

Shelved V1 Completed Updated Jun 30, 2026

Project Notes

I stumbled across CurvLab’s WR1 and thought it would be a fun way to push my 3D printing skills beyond individual parts and into a complete mechanical build. I had also been wanting to learn more about electronics and robotics, and an RC car felt like an approachable place to start. The fact that my son would have a fast car to play with when it was finished made the project even better.
