Make It RC

It's time for another update featuring my CTC 01 chassis based big rigs. The radio controlled GMC General and Mack DM800 return to the bench for some maintenance and upgrades. Among other tasks, I worked on the rear suspension on the Mack in an attempt to increase the travel and flex. With a little

My second ever RC big rig build is in the books, and what a fun project it was! Using our CTC 01 chassis, and a Mack DM800 model kit from MPC, I built a super scale, fully functional model. There were a few challenges along the way but in the end I'm very happy with how this truck turned out, especi

The time has finally arrived to showcase a new motor mount design for the CTC 01, 1/24 scale RC truck chassis! Of course what I thought would be a very simple process turned into a little more of a time consuming task, due to some unexpected part failures. Regardless of those minor setbacks, the lar

The 1/25 scale GMC General is back on the bench. While a steering servo replacement is no big deal for many RC vehicles, this here was a little more involved. When it comes to building a life-like model, It's all about making it look as much like the real thing as possible. With that said though, it

It's time to go big! Well, not that big. My first 1/25 scale RC semi truck build has been a success! Combing an AMT GMC General model kit with one of our 3D printable CTC 01 RC chassis' has resulted in a great looking truck that can actually be driven. Featuring details such as lights, a full engine

It's finally time to release the first batch of STL files! In this video I talk about what you can expect to see in this initial release, and go into detail about how to put this chassis together. I hope you find this video helpful. I posted some reference images and diagrams below. Be sure to check

It finally looks like a truck guys! Here's what's new and what I've changed since the last video. This RC truck chassis has been going together great, and is now nearly ready for a public release. Highlights include some simple body and electronics mounts that work great with this GMC General, and h

The design continues! I'm so happy to see other folks are also excited about this new chassis design so I wanted to make a quick update on the progress I've made so far. Still more work needs to be done before the STL files will be ready, but I'm very eager to get the first truck built! Stay tuned f
