Hey all My name is Chad.. I'm into 3d printed Mini and micro scale cars .. One of my recent projects was to design a performance 3d printed 1/24 pan car.. Kind off a "half-1/12 " type of project.. So I went into it with 25 yrs on road pan car racing experience and went with design attributes from my favorite cars over the years.. In testing I went with a torsion link design in the rear , and a static camber/caster direct coil spring style suspension similar to the suspension found on a mid 1980's associated rc12i .. Not very tunable, but VERY reliable and predictable.. The cars weigh in at around 145 grams ready to run... For power system I have been running 1410 sized sensorless brushless systems on 2s.. Either 2500 or 3500kv motors depending on track size layout.. The cars are designed with choice of gear diff or ball diff build.. The cars are 1/24 . Running a 104mm wheelbase , and a 79mm track width .. The goal was to print as much of the car as possible while still maintaining the highest performance I could with a printed car.. The result has been a TON of fun testing and racing with friends..
