Before you start
● Get ready all tools.
● Buy necessary parts that cannot be printed (screws, bearings, motor etc.), these parts are listed on next page.
● Make sure that your printer is calibrated well – print our “calibration part” to ensure that you can fit bearings
on shafts properly! Calibration part is located on “Print 0 - Calibration”.
● Use higher printing temperatures – use about 210-215°C for PLA to have firm layer adhesion!
● Use some heat-resistant filament (PC Blend) for specific drivetrain parts noted later in this Guide!
● Build guide is divided on steps and subassemblies. Subassembly is a sequence, where you will make some
independent sub-part like gearbox, axles etc. Later you will install subassembly in the car.

Are you new to the Radio Controlled
models?
Don’t worry, Radio Controlled (RC) models are not as complicated as they can look! However, it’s a good to know
some basics before you will start buying parts.
Most mechanical parts in our products will be 3d printed on your own printer, so we will focus here on RC
electronics.

On-line beginners guides:

● Steemit.com – a basic introduction to RC car models

● Instructables.com – another beginners guide, general (not focused on car models)

● Youtube – a nice video showing RC electronic basics

If you have any questions regarding our models, feel free to ask us (or other 3D Sets
builders) on our Facebook discussion group, available here: Facebook – 3D Sets

BeltDrive Gearbox – introduction
BeltDrive Gearbox uses 3 identical timing belts – HTD 144-3M-06 (HTD profile, 144 mm long, 3 mm teeth distance,
6 mm wide).

Gearbox is very silent and reliable when assembled properly. Gearbox work with brushless outrunner 750-1500
kV and 2S-3S battery.

Please check motor temperature by hand if you are driving in rough terrain or for long periods! If you are using
model in hot weather, please print gearbox case (enclosure) from PET-G or other heat resistant material.

Internal belts/pulley configuration is shown below:

Important features
Bearings calibration Service holes

It is very important to check if small 3d printed shaft BeltDrive 4x4 v1.1 features 3 service holes with
ends fit the bearings properly, because such small covers. These holes have following purposes:
printed objects may shrink too much.
● to help assembly of the gearbox; you can use
There are two sizes of the “Pulley Shaft small” parts the tip of the screwdriver to place belts in
(located on print “Belt Drive Gearbox - 2”): their position on the pulleys
● allows you to check the internals of the
“S” = standard size; “L = larger size gearbox without disassembling (heat, noises,
wobbling, etc.)

Service holes are marked white on the picture

below:

Please try if the “S” sized part fits the bearing without
any gap. The bearing must hold on place firmly, Service holes
otherwise, the gearbox can be damaged! If there is
any gap between the bearing and printed part, then
use a slightly larger “L” sized part.

Is there any gap? Then

use the “L” marked part!

At first, you will make a “Windscreen glass” and “Rear Window Glass” from any transparent foil up to 0.4 mm
thick. Thicker material is more durable than thinner, but we found that “Clear Binding Covers” are OK.

Place the templates on the foil, sketch it to foil and then cut by scissors or sharp knife.

Reaper – general tips

● Always use a proper battery charger. Bad charging of the Li-Pol battery may lead to a risk of fire!
● Disconnect the battery when the model is not used. The small switch on the ESC doesn't
disconnect the battery and the ESC may draw a small amount of current even in OFF-state, which
can damage your battery!
