BJ opens up and builds the unique 3D printed radio controlled car kit produced by Andy Cooke of the cigar shaped racing cars seen during the 1960's.
The build will follow the manual with commentary.
Part 11 sees the build of the gearbox and outdrives.
Andy's Grand Prix 3D car kit utilizes a variety of materials to create a kit that combines scale realism with radio controlled functionality. It becomes a beautiful shelf-queen that drives very well.

"My name is Andrew Cooke, I live in Australia and have raced RC cars since my mum bought me the iconic Tamiya Frog and then a Tamiya Rothmans 956 Porsche in the late 80's. I was hooked and started racing electric off-road in the early days and then on-road since it's emergence in the early 90's. My favourite classes are 12th scale and F1...of course!
A few years back now I first tried to realise my "historic Grand Prix RC car" vision by searching out and utilising existing RC car parts to cobble together a working model using VTA tyres and a lexan shell available at the time...ummm....this did not turn out well and being disappointed with the result the plan was shelved...
Fast forward to ~2019 and I discovered the world of 3D printing!
Suddenly this opened up so many possibilities and without fully realising the enormity of embarking on such a project I accelerated at full speed to finally realise my vision and bring this beautiful RC car to life...
Then quite quickly I realised I could not only create 'one' car for myself to play with, but I could actually scale a production line to create many for all of us to enjoy!
The result has exceeded even my original visions - and for that reason I wanted to produce and share this amazing RC model with you all..."
