This model isn’t a toy, it’s designed for off-road and RC enthusiasts. The model has a real scale 1:18. The dimensions of the model (width, length, height, wheelbase, wheel diameter, ground clearance, etc.) correspond to the dimensions of the real car. This gives you an authentic appearance and will be valuable for fans of scale models, it also gives you the opportunity to use the model in dioramas and similar use scenarios.
Whether you're showcasing it on your shelf or taking it out for a spin, this Defender promises to deliver an exhilarating experience!
You can build a crawler course track or realistic scale offroad park at home - and get the same experience and feeling as driving a big 1/10 RC car.
With this chassis you can build a realistic radio-controlled car in 1:18 scale, which will match the modern Land Rover (Range Rover).
The chassis has smooth running drivetrain that allow you to clearly and easily control the car. The presence of a 2-speed gearbox allows you to use the chassis in different scenarios. For example, when you need smooth and controlled movement down to the millimeter and high torque (Crawler) and when you need a dynamic ride (rally like). These are the same properties that combines a real car Land Rover (Range Rover)
Using a 370 class motor with 15000 rpm with 45 mm wheels, 1st gear has a maximum speed of 2 km/h, 2nd gear has a maximum speed of 18.4 km/h. This allows for a dynamic ride (for 1/18 scale) in 2nd gear and a very smooth and controlled ride in 1st gear, which is essential for RC crawlers.
1st gear - gear ratio - 77
2nd gear - gear ratio - 8.55
All-wheel drive system of RRS-18 3d printed chassis has center differential between the front and rear axles to compensate for the different wheel speeds between the axles from different cornering radius. This prevents torsional stresses in the drive train and automatically distributes the driving forces, increasing directional stability and making your driving more effective and controllable. Center differential provides the ability to rotate the wheels of the front and rear axles at different speeds while maintaining an inextricable flow of torque.
When cornering, the right and left, as well as the front and rear wheels of the car travel a different distance and, accordingly, make a different number of revolutions and have different rotation speeds. This leads to wheel slippage, loss of grip and, accordingly, to a decrease in controllability and premature wear, and the stresses in the transmission also increase significantly, which can lead to its failure. The use of differentials allows you to solve this problem and smoothly distribute torque to all drive wheels.
