Design. Print. Drive.
The first SaaS platform for modular 3D printable RC vehicles.
1. WHAT WE BUILT?
THE EXPEDITION PROTOTYPE
Fully functional,
3D-printable 1:16 RC car built for real driving. 70h print time, 213 printed parts, basic RC electronics, with no soldering required.
More than a single product, it proves the modular system behind the future Makeracer UGC platform.
2. WHAT ARE WE BUILDING?
THE PLATFORM
A browser-based 3D configurator for modular, 3D-printable RC vehicles.
Built on three.js, the platform enables real-time 3D rendering and instant part swapping & painting directly in the browser. Unlike most, uninspired e-commerce configurators, it delivers a game-like vehicle customization using
pre-tested modular parts.
Every possible configuration is mechanically compatible and drive-ready.
3. WHY THIS CAN SCALE?
FIRST
TO THE MARKET
While competitors sell static files or physical kits, Makeracer enables users to design mechanically compatible RC cars directly in the browser before printing and building them.
The result is not a one-time purchase, but a growing modular ecosystem powered by an All-Access sub that encourages users to create and build multiple vehicles over time.
