Description
This is not an easy build, but I think it's a fun one because every part you print you can install right away and see the snowcat slowly come together. I spent lot of time making the build guide as clear as I could and added a lot of pictures for every steps of the build. Good luck, if you have any problems I will be happy to help.
The machine is 65 cm long, 30 cm high and the blade is 45 cm wide
It can be print on a 220x220mm printer bed.
Here's some video of it in action https://www.reddit.com/r/rccars/comments/1qlvwyo/my_rc_snowcat_is_finally_done/
