Mini Catmaw - CyberBrick Edition

Mini Catmaw - CyberBrick Edition

 

This is a remote controlled car using the CyberBrick eco system. Most parts are printable except for the electronic, screw and springs. The Mini Catmaw is powered by two N20 400rpm motors in the rear axle. It features a fully working rear and front suspension. And incorporates controllable front and rear lights. Car is designed to be quite modular and with user moddability in mind. It uses the CyberBrick Official Standard Remote which is also compatible with many other published models.

 

 

Note! In the BOM below there are some components listed that are already part of the CyberBrick Beginners Hardware Kit (ZK004), The kit contains too few of these items. E.g. the RGB leds and hubs, the kit contains 4 leds but 8 are needed, so those extra needed leds are listed in the BOM. So if you already own the Beginners Hardware Kit you can simply uncheck the Beginners Kit from the BOM and buy the rest of the components only.

 

 

Note! If you notice that the steering servo is really slow to turn you might need to update the firmware in the controller boards (when it becomes available) as the current version has an issue.

• Rear axle has been reinforced as it was breaking for some. The front bumper has also been reinforced some. But if it the bumper still breaks in crashes you can also print it out of TPU, then it will survive almost anything.
