About this 3D model

For much more project from us, visit our CULTS shop: www.cults3d.com/en/users/3DDesignSpace/3d-models This upgrade is a reinforced and performance-oriented evolution for the original MOG 4x4 and 6x6 RC truck model designed by CASADIO. Original Model: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/unimog-u5023-replica-tribute-full-3d-printed-rc-truck The goal is simple: push the durability and off-road capability of the platform far beyond what fully 3D printed drivetrains can typically handle. Instead of relying on printed axles, this version integrates SCX10 portal metal axles, carefully modified to fit the geometry and constraints of the original model. This significantly improves strength, reliability, and long-term resistance to stress under demanding RC use. Beyond the axle upgrade, the drivetrain and suspension system have been reworked: - Improved articulation rod system for better suspension travel and realism - Integration of full metal drive shafts for smoother power transmission This is not just a remix—it’s a functional upgrade aimed at bridging the gap between 3D printed RC builds and hobby-grade performance. WHAT’S INCLUDED All STL files required to reproduce the modified structure are included, along with guidance for assembly and integration of third-party components. See assembly manual at the following link: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1oQXGjxaqmJz0OKGuIKhKbYsyu41vVba84C69jlMfDLg/edit?usp=drivesdk This model is designed as a hybrid build, meaning: - Structural and body components are 3D printable - Key mechanical parts (axles, drive shafts, hardware) must be sourced separately See parts list at the following link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ggnHjiOFuP9eYRAuxacAf7IHn5YlUkbZGsqX7_ew3bc/edit?usp=drivesdk This build is intended for users with some experience in RC assembly, mechanical modification, and 3D printing. It requires the use of cutting and grinding tools. ABOUT THE DESIGNER Hi, I’m Brian, a French-American mechanical engineer and designer. Throughout my career, I have held many engineering positions that have involved 3D Design and Printing, R&D, Motion and Automation; however, I have always done my best work personally, and have created hundreds of designs at home. Most recently, I decided to make my passion my everyday reality and created my company, 3D Design Space. On a personal level, I am a father of two, a loving husband, and a dog dad. I live in the South of France and enjoy traveling, 3D printing, electronics and robotics. LICENSE & USAGE This design (like all 3D Design Space designs) is under copyright.
