Join the race with this fantastic product that blends RC racing with hi-tech electronics.

Created thanks to the contribution of a successful crowdfunding campaign, this highly acclaimed product revolutionized the RC world with a new, videogame-like approach to the classic RC car races.

Thanks to the free smartphone app, you can join the race with up to 1.000 other pilots, and compete for the palm of the fastest pilot and smartest mechanic with the power of Arduino and Open Source hardware.

Highly customizable

Customize your car with 10 different car bodies and 100 accessories, or download new ones from the community.
Also, thanks to the programmable ATMEGA32u4 Arduino MCU, customize your driving experience or create new vehicles and autonomous robots.

But don’t worry, the powerful electronic boards comes pre-programmed with RacerOS, the exclusive Arduino-compatible software that power each 3DRacers.

So don’t need to know how to code, but if you finally decide to give it a try, 3DRacers will offer the right platform to start learning the wonders of microcontrollers programming.

Easy to use

The full kit contains everything required to build you own 3D-Printed car or robot: with a 3DRacers Pilot control board, high speed steering servo, LiPo battery with charger and all the mechanical parts.

The car body prints easily in less than 2 hours, and it is designed to circumvent the most common print problems. Assembly is easy and requires less than 10 minutes and is supported by a detailed guide.

Hardware

The 3DRacers Pilot board sports a Bluetooth Low Energy radio, ATMEGA32u4 MCU (the same of Arduino Leonardo), USB micro for programming and charging.

LiPo Charger, 2-motors controller with 1 high power micro motor on-board, 2 micro JST plugs for servos and expansions, an RGB led, ON/OFF switch.

On the bottom there is a IR sensor for gates and lap detection.

This is the Pilot board only, while the full kit contains also:

The micro servo weight less than 3g, with a 160° rotation angle.

The kit contains also a 150mAh 20C LiPo battery and a full set of gears, axles and screws. (not included in this bundle)
