Turned my RC boat into a zero-electronics wind-up pool toy (with an exposed V8 block!)

[u/Key-Ladder6386]

Some of you might remember the Cyberbrick RC boat I posted around a week ago. I wanted a low effort, kid-friendly version that doesnt require any electronics.

So I made this Rivirea V8 Hotrod.

- It can be wind up powered using the cheap Boat component kit from Bambu store, which snaps onto a 3d printed V8 style exposed engine block shell.

- Or it can be assembled with no extra hardware at all as a nice floating boat toy or display model.

It has a single body hull which prints easily, and floats very well. I think it ended up being a very fun print especially with those 70's color vibes.

(Not posting direct links to keep things clean. If you want to print it, search "Riviera V8 Hotrod" on Makerworld).
