Armadillo off-road truck
Description
Hard body that has been designed to fit the SCX10 III Base Camp builder's kit chassis (AXI03011). The body might fit other 313mm chassis as well but the mounts need to modified accordingly. There are step files included for the mounts in case you want to modify for other chassis.
Parts have been designed to be printable on a 180x180 printer.
When printing this print the "Truck Front Parts" profile + any of the available "Rear Truck Parts" profile. Any future rear/bed options will be available as its own profile so you can choose which option/look to print.
There is a hardware BOM and a detailed step-by-step assembly manual for the build available here:

Truck specs
- Dimensions:
- Width: 220mm (263mm with mirrors)
- Height: 240mm (body only) with 120mm wheels the total height is around 320mm depending on shock/spring setup.
- Length: 540mm
- The truck has working doors that are kept shut with help of magnets. Also the bed doors, all 5 of them, can be folded down and can easily be unhinged/removed.
- There is a roof rack where extra accesories can be attached, e.g. extra lights.
- The battery can be accessed through a hatch in the bed floor to easily remove the battery when needing to re-charge/switch batteries.
The body is heavier than a lexan soft body so you might need stiffer springs for you shocks and/or harder foam inserts for the wheels to support the weight.
There are mods available for the truck, e.g. leds for the front bumper, different door looks and more coming. Check them out via myprofile.
A display stand/static chassis for the truck model is included. This can be used if you want to use the truck as a display piece/decoration. The stand is also compatible with the Catmaw body so it can be used for both. There are just some inner wheel arches that nedds to be swapped out for the different cars. You can use either 3d printed wheels or real RC metal/rubber wheels with the display stand.
The stand and printable wheels can be found in their own separate print profiles.
For assembly instructions for the stand check page 101 in the Catmaw guide here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1C0RQWjasO_nurqC2unMMRbtN2DgbeHAVdjavfyd4Yko/edit?usp=sharing
just replace the inner wheel arches with the ones for the Armadillo.
