Description
Oh no! One of our trucks broke down – time to call in the heavy wrecker!
This snap-on upgrade transforms your 3D-printed truck into a rescue vehicle. Just snap it into place, and your fleet gains a powerful tow unit ready for any roadside emergency. The articulated recovery arm swings into action—lifting up and lowering with a satisfying click-click-click that sounds like serious business.
A sturdy hook dangles from a flexible chain, perfectly sized to grab onto the signature snap-on loops found on other trucks. Whether you’re clearing the highway, towing a stranded rig, or staging an epic rescue mission across the living room carpet, this wrecker is built for action and imagination.
Just as easy to remove as it is to attach, this upgrade invites endless play and custom combinations. Perfect for young builders and seasoned 3D printing enthusiasts alike—this isn’t just a toy, it’s a mission-ready machine. Thanks to the design, flush waste is low: < 7 grams for the XL version!
Disclaimer: in upward position, the arm is not able to carry the weight of a truck. I haven't been able to resolve this without making the clicker extremely loud, so I've chosen for a balanced approach. And even with the arm on the lowest position, you will still be able to tow vehicles.
This model contains the tow truck upgrade only and it needs to be completed with the base truck. Make sure to print the right size, because the truck and upgrades are available in two sizes: standard size and XL/RC. Size comparison - the green one is standard size, the blue one is the XL / Remote Control version
