Fusion: From Plastic Powder to 3D Printed RC Car!
This is my showroom entry to the competition 'Fusion:' My custom-designed and built 'FF210' FWD Buggy! The car is a fusion on the basis of many things:
1. The car fuses the latest production techniques with a unique front-wheel-drive concept!
2. The car is a fusion of production components of a 2WD buggy and a wide array of custom designed parts.
3. The SLS (selective Laser Sintering) that the Nylon parts are made with is a process where layers of powder are fused together one after another to form a 3D printed part
4. And last but not least, in my opinion the prize of the competition - the TT02-B MS - and my FF210 fuse similar ideas of what a RC buggy should be like: An easy-to-drive, go-anywhere pocket-rocket with a futuristic touch :)
Fast, fun, futurism... Fusion! :)

Classy! This should win for just how cool this thing is!

Way cool!

That is cool. With all that weight at the front and none at the back it would be a drift king !

Great work, got to be a contender. No matter how I look at this or the other pics it looks the wrong way round! Too used to seeing Tamiyas with the motor at the rear lol!

Thanks guys! @mark_biddle: You can indeed get it to drift, and to pull straight all you need to do is use the throttle
Here are some videos of the car in action on the track: [Click here] @Leethal driver: Funny you mention it: I've actually had a few track marshals put my car on the starting grid backwards before I had a proper bodyshell

This Buggy is surprisingly well balanced in the air! I expected it to be a little nose heavy but looks great!
Nice to see it in action what a great little performer! Thanks mate.
Good luck in the comp!

Yup this is definitely classed as fusion to the N'th degree! Good luck

Very nice + unique idea! Heck, you could have made the rear wheels into one single rear wheel to steer this thing. Only thing is I'm not sure you and I have the same idea of what the term 'pocket rocket' means.

Thanks guys! @MAD-BEE: It is indeed a little counter-intuitive perhaps... luckily (as with all cars), the rotating parts generate a gyroscopic effect, which stabilizes the car in the air
@beefmuffin: Lol, I hadn't thought about it like that yet!
