Copy and pasted from the other topic, and making a seperate one for this.

Now I can print my own parts I'm going to try to make an rc car using old drone parts.
Searched on youtube and found several videos/tutorials on how to do it, I don't have to buy anything.
Already gathered all the electronics and other stuff I need for the build.

Here's an example of an rc car made from drone parts:
Not going to make mine exactly the same though. Smile



The guy that made the rc car video from above also made a video that shows the Betaflight settings he used.
But the way he set it up it can only drive forward, going to try set it up in 3D, so I can drive backwards too.
He also included a link to a printfile for the wheels. Building FPV RC CAR from old drone parts Icon_surprised [https://cults3d.com/fr/mod%C3%A8le-3d/jeu/roues-pour-voiture-fpv]

Checked all the electronics and so far everything is working fine, including receiver link to the radio and arming.
Even the old batteries seem ok, though not sure about the performance, and still must be extra careful when recharging.
Now thinking about whether to print some 90 degree standoffs for the wheels and use the drone frame, or design and print an entire new frame. scratch

Little update on the fpv rc mini car build. Smile 
All the red parts are made by me (excluding the tire rims).
Used the ones from the download link above for scale of the motor axis.
Only the carbody is downloaded and modified a bit.
May need to print the body in 2 parts as it's just too big for the printer, 
or maybe modify it a bit more, so I can print it as 1 part, but it looks cool like this.
btw That bar around the wheels is to secure the axis of the motors.
Because the dronemotors are not designed too work as carwheels and,
the axis are pretty weak and probably won't last very long without securing them.

Couldn't resize the carbody without having to rescale and redesign the entire car.lol!
Eventually it turned out to be a good thing because now I also know where to place all the electronics and camera.
I rescaled the body to fit the printer build plate, so I can print it in 1 piece. Smile

OMG Rolling Eyes  So stupid... lol! I realised I could print the carbody without resizing after all by rotating it 90 degrees and print it nose first.
The printer would have almost reached max height for it, but it is possible. Funny I had not thought of that at all, till just now.. Surprised 

doh cool

Came out pretty good, the front window frame is a bit thin, but the rest seems strong enough to handle a couple of crashes.
Will be printing some of the other parts later today. Smile
