Screw-Drive RC Rover 3D Printed Body Kit

I designed an RC rover that uses a screw-drive system (also called an Archimedes drive).

You can watch my videos on it here:

This listing is for a complete 3D printed parts kit:

• Body:

  • Rear deck

  • Front deck

  • Upper deck joiner bracket

  • Lower deck joiner bracket

  • Front tread arm (left)

  • Front tread arm (right)

  • Rear tread arm (left)

  • Rear tread arm (right)

• Tread:

  • Left tread (front)

  • Left tread (rear)

  • Right tread (front)

  • Right tread (rear)

  • 4x Tread rod spacers

Everything is printed entirely in PETG, with strong structural rigidity, but enough void space (non-solid infill) so the whole thing floats (see the second video in the playlist linked above).

For building instructions and list of required hardware, please see the linked Google Drive folder. As well, you can access the 3D models, for free, if you own a 3D printer and wish to print this body kit yourself:

NOTE: This listing is only for the 3D printed parts! All the other hardware (bolts, nuts, everything else) you will need to aqcuire separately.

If you have any confusion during assembly, please reach out to me using the site’s contact form. I’m happy to help
