Remo Hobby Top Deck and SMAX Parts: 3D Models

«Remo Hobby Top Deck and SMAX Parts: 3D Models»

The parts fall into a few groups that behave differently. Structural pieces such as arms, spur covers and body towers carry loads and are usually printed solid, while top decks and body mounts are thin plates where hole spacing matters more than bulk. Holders for transmitters and spools are simple brackets that only need to grip and stay flat. Boat hulls and airboat bodies are a separate case: they are large, often printed in sections and joined afterwards.

Before slicing, read what the author states on the model page. Check the overall dimensions and the distance between mounting holes against the part on your car, count the separate pieces and how they join, and look at whether supports or a particular orientation are mentioned. The material and settings listed by the author, together with photos of real prints, tell you more than the render does.

If a search returns little, widen the wording rather than the topic. Top deck, upper deck, body tower and shock tower are often used for the same plate, and body mount, body post and body clip cover similar hardware. For accessories, try handset holder, transmitter stand or radio holder, and for filament, spool holder or filament rack. Boat files appear under airboat, jet boat and rescue boat as well.

A printed replacement rarely matches a moulded part exactly. Measure the original, decide which dimensions are critical and which can be adjusted in the slicer, and test the fit on the bench before the part goes back on the chassis.
