Summary

This is a Micro 1/18th R/C Crawler. -NOTE- This will go through further testing, and will be edited in the future.
Most of the parts are 3D Printed, but you may need to buy these things (you can customize this if needed to suit different parts.) -DONT REPUBLISH-
These are the things I purchased, I would recommend softer suspension and a brushed sensored motor.
Also Print 4 of the "suspension extension" file for each corner if using softer suspension. (there are different files for different lengths)

Shocks (use softer is possible and you will not need suspension extension if using these)

I modified a tent peg to be the main shaft.

To make the 4link bars and servo bar, cut the bars in half in your slicer, then print. When they are done put the 4link balls in all the holes and stick the half's together. Print half the 4link bars 16 times and half of the servo bar twice, also print 18 4link balls for everything.

-UPDATE-
Changed a few pieces to make it function better. Will put pics up soon, just trying different plastics to see what's best for what. Use the "new" pieces for best functionality.

-UPDATE 2-
A roll cage is in the making. I did get fusion 360 because most people have that, I will begin making animations to show how to assemble it.

-UPDATE 3-
I have it fully assembled, printed and will be adding a few more modified parts soon including the roll cage. If there isn't a hole where there should be one that's because I want you to drill it out were it suits you. I may change that.

-UPDATE 4-
Added pictures and roll cage.

-UPDATE 5-
Sorry for the wait for the order of the gears. My computer is old and has been playing up a fair bit. It was my original intentions to upload the picture but it is very difficult because of my computers age. It is the third picture if you want to see.
thankyou for having a look at my design and being patient. if you have more questions or you find issues leave a comment and i will get to it as soon as I know. thankyou, I hope you find enjoyment in making it.
