The file 'Micro RC Snowcat – 1/35th Scale Bombardier BR400 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 1.7MB.

Summary

This is a micro snowcat I've designed that runs on two N20 gearmotors, a couple cheap brushed ESCs and a 2s 500mAh lipo. It's loosely based on the Bombardier BR400 with some artistic license taken to make printing with FDM easier in this scale. I also added a simple bogey-type suspension supported by mechanical pencil springs to help it traverse rough terrain a bit better. This is more of a "scale model" that requires some patience to assemble especially considering the track links are individual and many of the parts are quite small. Utilizing worm-gears for the main drive gives this model a lot of torque and a very scale speed (i.e. slow), coupled with the 500mAh lipo puts out run times near 15-20 minutes.

Size is about 125mm long x 130mm wide (track width) x 80mm high (to top of body).

Here's the BOM, parts with links are where I sourced mine, the other parts I found locally but could easily be found on Ebay or Amazon.
