    The Proline Racing Metric body is hands down the most versatile base to start customizing a lexan RC car body from. Allowing you to run it as is, dress it up yourself with either your own 3D printed designs and accessories, or you can do what I did: I ordered the full range of Knight Customs parts for the Proline Metric!
    Knight Customs have truly outdone themselves with the available accessories for this Metric body! This isn't an officially licensed body, but even the untrained eye can detect body lines which are very reminiscent of the Toyota Tacoma, and it happens to be that Knight can deliver all the 3D printed files or parts to complete the look. Everything from headlight clusters, grille pieces, a full engine to complete the unique feature which is the opening hood, doorhandles, wipers, tail light clusters and even complete bumpers and roof racks... Possibilities and combinations are seemingly endless!
    You can either order the parts through Shapeways, which is a great option if you do not need a lot of parts, as Shapeways is quite pricey: www.shapeways....
    If you have a 3D printer or want to get one and get started with 3D printing, going to the store of Knight Customs on My Mini Factory os a preferred option, you can simply purchase the files you need and start creating at home: www.myminifact...
    The code HEMISTORM10 or HEMI10 will give you an instant 10% discount on all of your purchases from the prolineracing.com webstore, you can order the Metric through the following link: www.prolinerac...

    Love this truck and the collab parts with Knight Customs! Sad how Shapeways has become so money hungry. As someone who does 3d printing, they really stick it to the customer. Which is nice for the little guys in the long term, but still. 3d printing is supposed to be affordable, which Shapeways is not, although their print quality is great. Im glad you brought this to peoples attention.

    @robertrosson1990 Před 4 lety

    It seems in order for the average person without a lot of money.It would make cone since to buy a 3D printer and download the files and print your own parts.It seems that would be a more affordable option than the purchase each any every part.At 500.00 to 600.00 you could buy a new complete running RTR.No offense to anybody but getting your own 3D printer just makes better since and learn how to download the files and make your own parts.In my humble option that seems to be a more affordable way to go.

    In its infancy, 3D printing was touted as a cheap way of creating custom parts for the masses. If you look on Shapeways today, it's certainly not cost effective; which is a real shame.
