Description
Insane snow tires for RC car
Purpose
These RC snow tires are designed to provide extreme grip for RC vehicles operating in snowy conditions. While originally designed for a 2WD AMP ECX dune buggy, they are intended to be compatible with other RC cars with minor adjustments.
Practical Uses
These tires are specifically intended for use on RC vehicles in snow. The designer notes they feature approximately 80 spikes per tire to increase traction.
Included Parts
- Snow tires for RC car.stl
- Snow tires for RC car_0.15mm_PLA_MINI_8h47m.gcode (Pre-sliced version designed for the original Prusa Mini+ using PLA filament)
Printing and Assembly Guidance
Users should be able to slice the provided STL file using any slicing application. For those using PLA filament, the designer noted that a heatbed temperature of 70 degrees Celsius helped improve adhesion. The designer cautioned that the design tends to un-stick from the heatbed and recommends monitoring the print intently.

<p>RC vehicle owners from all across the nation, behold my insanely crazy RC snow tires. Not gonna lie, they look pretty scary. Equipped with probably 80 or so spikes, (?) These tires are absolutely legendary. You could probably use them for construction. Don't quote me on that. I originally designed them for my 2wd amp ecx dune buggy, but they can work with any other RC car with minor adjustments. The .STL file should be downloadable, and hopefully you can slice it on any slicing app. The pre-sliced version is designed for the original prusa mini +, using the PLA filament. The design tends to un-stick from the heatbed, so be sure to watch it intently. I used glue to hold it on, which probably was a bad idea. Using PLA filament, I found that having the heatbed temp at 70 degrees celcius helped it stick a lot better. I put this design under public domain in hopes that it will go viral, but if you manufacture it commercially, just give me like 2%, sound good? Good luck, hope you enjoy!</p>
