This is my 1:18 Scale version of Daniel Norée's fantastic OpenRC F1.
**3D Printed Parts:**
I printed all of the 3D printed parts in PLA apart from the
...Show moretires and the front wing which I printed in FFF World FlexiSMART.
The PLA parts were printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.16mm layer height, 2 shell/perimiters, 4 top layers, 4 bottom layers and 15% infill
The rain tires were printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, 1 shell/perimiter, 4 top layers, 4 bottom layers and no infill
The front wing was printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, 2 shell/perimiters, 4 top layers, 4 bottom layers and 50% infill

**Fixings:**
2x M3x8 Grub screws
22x M3x5 Countersunk Screws. I managed to find some M3x5 screws that have a shallower head than usual. If you can’t find these the you may need to file down the heads on the 4 screws that hold the front hubs to the top and bottom front ‘wishbones’. I think the standard pozi head or socket head countersunk screws should be ok for all the other 18 M3x5 Countersunk screws.
4x Hex M3 Nuts, 2 are used on the rear wing and 2 are on the engine cover where the main body tub fixes to it.
17x Square M3 Nuts
1x M5 Nut – used to secure the pinion to the motor.
2x M2 Washer – use with the motor fixing screws.
1x M3x16 Pan Head – servo saver.
2x M3x14 Socket Countersunk - for holding the front wheels on
2x M3x5 Socket Countersunk - for holding the rear wheels on
**Other parts that I bought for the build of my 1:18 Scale F1 Car:**
**Motor** - DYS BE1806, other 1806 motors may fit but you may need to space the pinon or adapt it to fit. Whilst there isn’t much variation in the size of the 1806 motors them
