Summary
there are so many iterations of this truck that I'll only post the step and f3z file. I tried to post the STL's but Thingiverse crashed on me :(
I uploaded wheel.stl so Thingiverse would let me post
This is mainly to show off the project!! To build this you'll need a CRAP ton of garbage such as random screws, a wltoys 144001, and a Traxxas Emaxx. Even then, this isn't a great truck and can break.
FYI: I didn't make the body, the body is made by "Alexby" I did a remake of it so it can print on my printer (check out my remakes, and you'll find his page!)
the chance you'll build this thing is like 1 out of a billion so I wouldn't suggest making it
I explain more of it below
Print Settings
Printer Brand:
Creality
Printer:
Ender-3 v2

Yes
Resolution:
0.2
Infill:
20-100%
Notes:
This truck is extremely hard to make, I doubt there will be any makes, the list of parts you'll need to build this is really long and really expensive, I used old screws, shocks, motors, etc to build it.
How I Designed This
Designing
How I designed this? I designed it using Fusion360, and I printed all of it on my Ender 3 v2, using Cura.
I came into this project without any CAD experience besides tinkercad, I had learned how to use Fusion360 by just using it, I watched a few videos about how, but other than that I just picked it up.
I designed everything from the Suspension geometry, all the way down to the spacers in the gearbox, I did use a public driveshaft model, but modified it (Thanks Crankyface: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/printed-truck-driveshaft)|
You can find videos of it on my channel https://www.youtube.com/@Vex41YT
This took me around 1 month to get it moving, and 2 months to get moving well. I'm currently using a 2speed gearbox from a Traxxas emaxx to move it, I did this for reliability. The 2-speed gearbox I designed had several problems but worked Insanely well. I wanted a reliable truck, that's why swapped the gearbox. In V2 (which is currently under way) the gearbox will be fully 3D printed, except for the output shaft which will be small since the driveshafts I'm using have a small key to fit the driveshaft and PLA isn't that strong.
V2 will be easier, better, bigger than this v1, while also being easy to build with minimal post-processing
