    Every R/C car manufactured and brought to market is as good as its availability of spare-parts! You demonstrate that 3D-printing can be a solid part of the solution. Let the big manufacturers wake up and make the parts that happen to break so now and then available for 3D-printing by its customers. How cool would that be! Thanks and please keep up making these good videos!

      I'd love it if manufactures would give away a 3d printable file for you to download and print your own replacement parts, but unfortunately they make a lot off of spare parts 😞
      Waiting to get a new printer and I'll be doing more 3d printed parts, glad you liked the video dude 😀

      hey thanks mate :) printer is broken, i will do more when i upgrade it. the best material i have found would be nylon, great wear resistance for gears and its great for arms because it can bend slightly, its not too brittle. currently i just use fusion 360.
