Description
This is a Repaired set of STL files for the Turtle Shell Racer High Power Edition! Special thanks to Skimbal for the original design (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10526). I ran into a problem while finishing the final prints of the SHELL TOP A & B (everything else printed okay). I was able to fix the outdated STL files with netfabb Basic and decided to fix all the files in case others had problems with any STL files (some errors may still exist).
I'm building electronics also. I will update with a list when I can.
3/01/16 UPDATE: I added the original PDF instructions for convenience (will make improvements soon), and added 2.8mm filament STLs for attaching the shells together (I didn't have the 3mm filament that was required).
3/06/16 UPDATE: I replaced gear 1 and 3 with new files (also kept the original files) The new gear 1 has a smaller inside diameter of 2mm to fit a 2mm electric motor shaft. The new gear 3 is thicker with a smaller inside diameter for a much better fit. Print all gears with 100% infill so they don't break. I modified the wheelie bar so the dive gear will not hit it. Also added Turtle Shell Racer Assembly and Parts (Updated) PDF!
3/12/16 UPDATE: I purchased all the electronic from Hobbyking.com and have some advise. The gear ratio needs to be tightened up and possible changed.
Motor and ESC: (This motor is a little fast for this project, I think they make one with a slightly smaller Kv.)

Servo: (I bought the one that was originally recommended, but I would buy this one)

Battery: (I bought a 3s 35c LiPo, but this was a mistake! Please get a 2s Lipo either a 30c or 35c and around ~2000 to 2500mAh. For example)

The rest of the supplies you can refer to the original electronic PDF. If you're new to Hobbyking.com, please note they have several warehouses to choose from. If they're out of stock in one, they usually have it at another. I got everything from the USA Warehouse West
