We took it outside and sent it into the dust. The build is getting solid, but the next step is punchier: the fully equipped Expedition Build.

Join the waitlist. This is just getting started.

Hey gearheads!

We've been working hard to prepare for prototype testing with the epic Crash Tester crew. We've already done a ton of crawler testing on our own, and now it's time to clean up the modeling mess and build a proper internal production system. It's designed to speed up development and ensure consistent quality. With clear naming, organized data, and a smooth delivery/testing workflow, it lets us generate cars faster and more reliably, so we can get better results into your hands, quicker.

Here’s the plan:

Clean up the prototypes and tag/name all assets clearly in a master catalog. (cca next two weeks)
Put together the testing package, which will include:

- STL files for the testing crawler car, sorted by recommended print material, ready to drop into your slicer
- video tutorial for assembly
- shopping list for all electronic parts

We’ll keep you updated as we go. The overall testing timeline is still TBA, but we’re getting close.

Stay tuned!

We’re making 3D-printable RC cars that you can customize, build, and race. Mod them, print them at home, and hit the track.

Now looking for early testers! Join our discord to learn more.

One year ago, we were sitting on a couch, discussing the idea of making RC cars in Blender. It wasn’t supposed to be a real RC car, just a fun, customizable model for BlenderMarket (/SuperHive). Within two hours of conversation, my team convinced me that we could make it real, a fully functional RC vehicle, customizable before exporting the print files. The idea was ambitious but solid, so we started working on small steps to validate it.

We joined a startup acceleration program, tested 3D-printed RC cars at a local (but massive) hobby shop, and delivered our first-ever prototype, stress-tested during an office party. It had an unstable, funky design, but it drove like crazy, and everyone loved it. We pitched our business plan and ended up ranking 4th among the top innovations. That was cool, but we already knew we had to make the second-gen prototype way better.

So we got to work. Along the way, we brought in a CTO and CMO to the team. Then, out of nowhere, we got the chance to present Makeracer at SXSW in Austin, Texas. So last week, we did, and it was awesome!

People loved the design, especially the little technical details, the satisfyingly openable hood with a battery underneath, the functional toolbox in the bed, the printed tires, and the surprisingly effective suspension. We even got to show off the model to the Prusa Research team, who also had a booth at the expo. They approved the design, so we know we’re on the right track.
