Do you remember the Tim Burton version of Batman? With the Batmobile that was little more than a big jet engine on wheels? That’s what this build, by Rambros, reminds us of.
It’s a radio-controlled car with a 3D-printed chassis, body, steering assembly, and power transmission (including a differential for the rear wheels). Only the electronics, wheels, bearings, and the screws that hold it together aren’t made of plastic.
