Tarmo5 Build Kits

Lets get building with a build kit for a 3D Printed Tarmo5 RC Car! We have kits that include fasteners only as well as kits that include bearings, servos, motors and escs!

Each Fastener Kit comes with a complete set of over 120 different fasteners for the Tarmo5 including many extra screws and nuts just-in-case. Aside from the usual screws and nuts this kit also includes 3 - 350mm lengths of M3 threaded rod for fastening the chassis pieces, 18 - 6mm steel ball bearings for the rear CV joints, and a stop collar with 5mm ID and 11mm OD for the pinion gear. All m3 and m4 screws are made with 304 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. Heads on most screws are cylinder head with hexagon sockets however there are a some hexagon head screws included for use as wheel axles. M3x6 cylinder head screws are used for a tight fit between the stop collar and the 3D printed pinion. The pinion set screw holes may need to be reamed with a drill bit for a perfect fit with the screw head.

A complete listing of which screws are included and where they should go can be found here. We also include extra screws just in case. 

Kits with Bearings will also include a complete set of bearings for the Tarmo5 3D Printable RC Car. All bearings for this kit are high quality chrome steel rubber sealed bearings (2RS) with Z2 precision rating for low noise. This kit includes 12 - 6802 2RS (15x24x5mm) bearings.  Only 11 are actually required for the build but we include 1 extra just in case.

For kits that include a Servo we also include one 20KG Digital Servo (DS3218) with Metal Gears and a Metal Servo Arm which works well for the Tarmo5 model. The dimensions of this servo will require using this modified steering bar.

Each kit that includes Motor+ESC will include one D3542 1450KV Brushless Outrunner Motor by Flash Hobby and one 10BL120 120A Brushless ESC by Hobbywing. This is the recommended brushless motor and ESC combination for the Tarmo5.

Looking for the build files? Find them at Printables here.
Build instructions and more information can be found on Reddit here.
Looking for shocks? Check out our selection here.

If you receive a stop collar that uses m4 set screws please try using one of these modified pinion files for either a m4 set screw with no head or a normal m4 screw with a 6.75mm head. If you receive a stop collar that uses 5mm set screws please try using this pinion with the included 5mm set screws.

OUR KITS DO NOT COME WITH THE 3D PRINTED PLASTIC PARTS TO BUILD THE MODEL. YOU NEED TO 3D PRINT THOSE YOURSELF. OUR KITS ONLY COME WITH THE PARTS LISTED ABOVE TO ASSIST YOU IN YOUR BUILD AND OTHER PARTS WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE YOUR BUILD.
