Oh, and it's Carrera Go!!, if that wasn't apparent with me posting in the 1:43 scale part, haha.

And the white chassis yellow nsx? The chassis has an adjustable wheelbase. I have made some revisions to the 3d model but have not printed it yet. My chassis try to be universal, so I can print whatever body I want and slap em on it with minimal effort. The 130 sized motor chassis is adjustable, just at the 3d model level, unlike the carerra motor based chassis.

Wow! You have really done a lot of work on this setup. Do you do anything special to break in the 3D printed gears?

Nothing outside a quick go over with a small wire brush/clean some spots with a small hobby knife. I print M0.6 pitch gears designed on OpenSCAD, and printing them at a 0.12 layer height seems to work fine. I lower the flow to 95% as well, and I have the printer quite dialed in. A 20mm calibration cube prints to 20.06mm on the X, 20.04 on the Y, and 20.02 on the Z, so they print pretty cleanly. I use PLA when printing them.

and that's on a 0.4mm nozzle. I find printing at M0.5 they don't quite work out as cleanly. I need to get a 0.2mm nozzle and try some 0.08mm layer heights sometime to see about printing M0.5 or smaller gears.
