RC Truck with snap-on upgrades

I’m thrilled to share my modular truck designed for the CyberBrick ecosystem! 🚚💨This is an evolution of my original XL truck from MakerWorld, now enhanced with remote control and other awesome features.

What Makes This Truck Special?

• Inspired by the classic Peterbilt 379 Semi truck
• Snap & Build Fun – Most parts connect with swallowtail & snapping connectors, making assembly a satisfying puzzle. No glue and minimal screws required! 
• Massive Size – Fully assembled, it measures 32cm long, 9cm wide, and 12cm tall. 
• Minimal Supports – Designed to print efficiently with little to no support needed.
• Modular & Expandable – Snap-on upgrades attach mechanically, so you can swap and customize on the fly.
• Rugged & Durable – Rounded edges and a reinforced frame for extra toughness. 
• Custom Bearings – Reduces rolling resistance for smooth movement.
• More Detail, More Realism – Open cabin windows, decorative tail lights, and fuel tank caps for added realism.
• Designed for Maximum Performance

I had an blast designing, iterating, and improving this truck. Huge shoutout to the Bambu team engineers who helped fine-tune the physics. 🙌🏻 They advised on torque, traction, and even provided the tire profile!

💡 Key Mechanical Features:

• ⚙️4-wheel drive powered by an idler gear.
• 🔋 Battery hatch with built-in power switch – no need to unplug the battery after every use!

• 🛠️Tool-free battery access – The hatch snaps in place, so no screws or screwdrivers needed for recharging!

   

🏗️ Snap-On Upgrades Available Now, including a trailer and containers! Please check my collection here: https://makerworld.com/collections/6062435 

There's also a non-RC and small version of this truck available

I hope you’re as excited to print this as I was to design it. Let me know what you think, and happy printing! 🚀

If you’ve already printed the XL version, you can reuse most of the parts and easily upgrade to RC! No wasted prints – just more fun!

This model has been designed to control with the official Cyberbrick remote, you can print it here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1395991-cyberbrick-official-standard-remote?from=search#profileId-1446992 

Troubleshooting:

• Assembly: please follow the assembly instructions closely. Some pieces can be hard to remove when assembled incorrectly or in the wrong order
• The gearbox assembly instructions can be found here: https://eu.store.bambulab.com/nl/products/single-axis-plastic-reduction-gear-kit 
• Please refer to this link for troubleshooting with pairing your remote control: https://forum.bambulab.com/t/how-do-i-pair/172221
• Tight fittings: some of the swallowtail fittings are tight on purpose. If you experience challenges during assembly, apply little bit of force and wiggle the piece while sliding it in the fitting
• Bed adhesion: some of the plates have pieces pretty close to the bed’s edges. This can result in poor bed adhesion and curling edges on your print. Please refer to https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/knowledge-sharing/printed-model-warping. The following filament setting works very well for me: No cooling for the first 3 layers
• For proper fit and traction, it is required to print the tires in TPU
