3D Printed Mario Kart Shell R/C Cars: Death Stare Not Included

Back in 2011, we featured Michael Curry’s Mario Kart-inspired remote-controlled cars. He has since uploaded the improved 3D files along with the instructions and the parts list for the cars on Thingiverse. Maker Kart, here we come!

Aside from the 3D printed parts, you’ll need to buy other parts such as a DC motor, a micro servo and skateboard bearings. You’ll also need the tires and front suspension of the New Bright Ram 1500 Model 2424 RC Car. I found it online for $35 (USD) but Michael says you can get it for $13-$15 at Wal-Mart or Target.

Keep a few Stars and Bullet Bills around and head to Michael’s Thingiverse page to download the files, instructions and parts list.
