70 hours is a realistic estimate, but the exact time depends on your printer.

About 10 hours per car, but if you speedrun it, you get close to 6 hours.
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.
