I’ve never posted any of my prints on here because Ididn’t think they met the cool factor. I think this one dose though. I designed and modeled it in solidworks. The body is the standard clear resin. So are the lenses (took a while to polish clear). The bumpers and rock sliders are done in the durable resin. This is designed to fit on a 1/10 scale rc truck. An axial SCX10 II to be exact. So this is a functional body. We’ll see how long it lasts. Hope you guys like it.

very cool
Wow! This is awesome! What paints, primers did you use if you don’t mind me asking?
I used tamiya color spray paint. AS-3, gray green (Luftwaffe). for the body. And model masters O.D. green for the roof.
Wow! This is beautiful!
Thanks!
Nice work, looks great.
very nice!! great details
It meets the cool factor as far as I’m concerned.
I am very sorry to dig up an old thread.
But this body is so beautiful, I have to contact the maker/creator.
CSauve, would you please contact me. I want to purchase this design/STL files, if possible.
First because this design is much nicer then the lexan version (sold by Axial) and second because no one else has this design available.
I just replied to your email.
So, the email didn’t go through,
Let’s try this:
I’m glad you like my design. I’ll have to think about selling the stl though. That took over a year to design and build and redesign and build (lol). I might be open to it though. I’ll also have to go back and make sure that design is current. I’ve done some redesigning since then and right now the newest design has different features.

Thank you, for considering.
Too bad the e-mail isn’t working. Is there any other way we can get in touch?
And believe me: there are more people interested… I have at least two other friends who are drooling over this design.
Hopefully your decision will be positive.
Thanks!
Shoot me an email to: desertratrcdesign@gmail.com.

I know that this is an old post but if you read this, I’m interested in your design or STL files to print me a copy. It’s a nice work.
Thanks
As this post comes back up to the surface I have to say how cool this is. Loved how you polished up the clear parts for the headlights! Any follow-up prints to share @csauve ? : )

Although it isn’t very polite, as @csauve doesn’t answer the emails or here, anybody that obteined the STL files could share or sell it? Do you obtained it @MetalRush or any?
I don’t want this car be lost in the remembers.
Cheers
Hello @Lombar (and others),
I had mailcontact with @csauve a few years back. He lost his mail in that period (including my request). I’m sure there is a good reason why he is not answering his e-mail this time.
Unfortunately we never came to an agreement, although he was thinking about selling his files.
Nevertheless, I mailed him again. Hopefully he will remember me. I made him an offer for selling his design. In that way we can all benefit.
Please be patient and have a nice day 
Cheers,
Ruud
Thank you for answer me @MetalRush.
I don’t have any problem to pay a razonable ammount for the files, I have the opinion that we must pay for the work of others. I want it to personal use, not for selling or reselling. I hope that he answer you. You can reach me too in jose at lombat dot com.
Cheers,
Jose
CSauve answered my e-mail telling me his files are available to all of us!
Please go to his own space on YouMagine.
This truck can be found here: Desert Rat RC Design | YouMagine.
Are you ready?!?
Please start your 3D-printers!..
and GO!
Oh, do me a favor, please… and post pictures here and on YouMagine if you actually printed this beauty. I’m very stoked and ordered me some extra filament 
Good luck and have some fun, people!
Ruud
