FAQ
What is Makeracer?
Makeracer is a modular RC car system that allows users to easily customize, 3D print, and assemble a functional RC car.
How does the product work?
At this point, we're preparing an Expedition Prototype car with some minor customization options for purchase. Later, we'll launch a web-based platform, where you can create and customize cars in 3D view.
Is Makeracer available for purchase?
Not yet! We’re still working on it and developing the platform in parallel.
When will Makeracer Prototype be released?
Early Feb 2026! We just want to make sure everything is polished and ready to go.
PRINTING
What scale are Makeracer cars?
Our cars are 1:16 scale - quick to print and super agile on the track!
What print time can I expect?
72–144 hours is a realistic estimate, but the exact time depends on your printer.
Can I print Makeracer cars on Prusa MINI?
Yes.
What materials should I use for 3D printing?
PLA for the body and wheel rims, PETG / PC-blend for the chassis and the body frame. Optionally TPU for the tires, and transparent PETG for the lights.
Are there any non-printable parts?
Yes, to build a Makeracer car, you'll need a few non-printable parts, mainly bearings and M3 screws. If you want to drive the car, you'll also need a motor, ESC, servo, battery, and remote control, plus optional LED lights. We provide printable tires, but you can also use certain LEGO tires, as they are compatible.
Can I buy a pre-printed car?
No, that’s not what we do. We provide the printing data, and you get to put it together yourself.
ELECTRONICS
What kind of electronics do I need to make the car functional?
To drive your Makeracer, you’ll need a motor, ESC, servo, battery, and a RC radio. We’ll provide a recommended parts list to make the setup easy. We also recommend LED lights, the cars have built-in cable management for a clean setup.
Can I buy the electronics from you?
No, but we’ll provide a list of recommended and compatible parts that you can buy from your favorite store. We're looking into streamlining this.
