| Further Description/Back Story | During my summer brake I wanted to do something to keep me entertained through the summer so I made Murder hornet V1. I used a silver pla filament. But I wanted something at that moment so I turned up the print speed. It was not strong so it kept breaking. So I started designing the Murder Hornet V2. Now I slowed down the print speed and put more infill in the parts so they can be a lot stronger. I moved the battery to the back of the chassis to make it drive more like a class 1 buggy. I made sure everything was rigidly attached to the central tub of the chassis. This made it a lot stronger and it can jump curbs and rocks easily. This was everything I wanted from this buggy. It looks like a class 1 which was what I was going after in this build. It is surprisingly durable. After a few test drives I needed a new body instead of the blue RC10 body because sand and dirt was going into the battery compartment. I went to my favorite hobby shop, Rc Madness and we got the predator body, paint, and Gmade wheels. I think it looks really good. The name came to be after my dad heard about the murder hornet bees and because of the hornet rear axel. I think it was a good choice to call it that. |
