I feel silly for never trying that before, thank you!

I sometimes use RDX to check out some small communities on reddit I miss. So first off, thanks! Secondly, is there a way to collapse comments or skip to the next root comment?

Why does that big Spain patch look like Ontario?

It's a diesel engine, but that's excellent advise for anyone with a gas engine that comes across this post!

I would highly recommend you do not drain the fuel tank, you should leave it with a full tank to minimize the amount of room for moisture in the air to condense. Too much moisture in your tank can cause it to rust from the inside out if it's steel.

If you have one in your area, check out Sayal Electronics

Correct, don't use premium fuel unless your engine requires it.

Time will tell! I've made another person's design for an RC buggy out of PLA and it has held up fairly well for the most part. Worst case I can try PETG if I have issues.

The one that appears to be connected at the front has another beam that goes down to the other wheel knuckle. The one at the front is connected to the servo for the steering input. Hope that helps! Look up "dual swingset steering" for more information.

Econofil PLA from filaments.ca

I love this line of filament, never had any problems with it. Used this colour just to use it up on my first test print, it's not my favourite colour. Looks too much like dry pasta.

I just think they're neat haha

I have a 1996 F150 2WD which has beams and they've always kinda fascinated me as a solution so I wanted to dive into the design considerations.

 

I wanted a 1/10 scale prerunner with long travel suspension so I decided to make it myself! Designed in OnShape, printed on an Ender 3. I have a bit more info on my thingiverse page. Any other RC hobbyists on here? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6306854
