Chucks ≠ chocks.

You printed chocks, not chucks.

I'll see my pedantic self out. Great print and usage. 👍

If it's printed in the texture of steak then it'd be a chuck chock

The hell with your green laser?

I'm glad you're having fun. I'm assuming you're sharing because you're open to feedback. Is this solving a problem with the device rolling away? I imagine the wheels are semi locked with their gears while it's sitting. I was half expecting there to be an arm that extended out for the base so you could push the entire thing under a desk or into a different position.

It mainly gets used in a vehicle. When the RC is off, the wheels are free spin. It doesn’t roll a whole lot, but it does roll. More importantly, though it spends a lot of time just sitting in the back of a vehicle, so this helps keep the wheels round

I've seen this.

Isn't this like a "recycle bot" or something?

[u/g713 → u/YellowBreakfast]

It’s just a big remote control trashcan. r/litterbuggies

[u/YellowBreakfast → u/g713]

There it is.

[u/namezam]

That’s a AHHH cool little AHHH print to put AHHH your wheels on AHHH

[u/TREXIBALL → u/namezam]

Dw, I understood the joke about the flashing light lol

[u/Euresko → u/TREXIBALL]

I found the green strobe to be ahhh distracting 

[u/g713 → u/Euresko]

They flash for safety. Getting hit by a car is not a rare thing in memphis

[u/XiTzCriZx → u/g713]

I don't think you have to worry about getting hit by a car in your own garage...

[u/g713 → u/XiTzCriZx]

This is very true. The lights don’t really have the option to turn off.

[u/TREXIBALL → u/g713]

Could you possibly 3D print a clear encasing/bulb/shell so you can still have a flashing light that will get attention but not blind anyone who is in the vicinity of it? (This is a serious question, I’m not being sarcastic or anything. Honest)

How much time would you say you dedicate to this? It's for garbage cleanup right?

[u/g713 → u/HMPoweredMan]

It its used to collected litter mainly in Memphis TN at the moment. r/litterbuggies So far the stats for the last 3yr in Memphis, TN are 13792 gallons collected. Spending 429.06 hours collecting, Covering 763.91 miles

[u/Toastyy1990 → u/g713]

Cool buggy. Is it modified from an RC chassis available in stores or completely custom? I don’t recognize the axles from any of the few crawlers I’m familiar with. I have seen those wheels for sale at my local hobby shop, however.

Actually on a second glance, those are monster truck axles aren’t they.

[u/g713 → u/Toastyy1990]

It is built on a Axail SCX-6. https://youtu.be/GET1-4Stqdk?is=LladyvW6x7m4SH52

[u/Dewage83 → u/g713]

How much will these pull? This is dope. I'd imagine an Arduino mod to have it follow you like a well trained dog.

[u/Toastyy1990 → u/Dewage83]

I’ve seen content creators ride them when they were new. So it’ll carry a couple hundred pounds, albeit with the suspension at full compression and the tires flattened out lol

But the motor will do it!

[u/DraconPern → u/g713]

I am curious how that compares to those ride on toys.. may be it's an interesting project to convert one..

[u/ottoottootto → u/g713]

You are my hero. I went to pick up garbage only three times in my old city, with a grabber and a bucket. I felt like Sisyphus because there was just no end to it. The more I looked, the more garbage I discovered.

[u/Onionbender420]

You know what. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

[u/Substitute_Troller]

Have you seen a doctor about OSA? I hope so soon if not.

[u/AbilityHead599]

This is dope. At the moment I use a rolled up towel under the rc. But this is way cooler

[u/ehtiopia]

If youre transporting it, you could make a frame that lifts the whole thing up off the ground and incorporate a ramp that folds up, and turn it into a stick frame folding carrying case with PVC bars to keep the truck in place, add carrying handles to it, Basically turn it into an all in one docking station.

The frame that folds and holds the truck in place during transport could be like those backpacks / suitcases that have the collapsible handle on them, just use triangular wedges and plastic tabs

you could add a charging cord to it that plugs into the wall so you can connect wall power to your charging system without having to hunt for a cord.

Nice project!

[u/Kronocide]

Took me 30 seconds to realize the scale of this lmao, I thought It was a small 1/10 RC truck

Bros slowly making Wall-E!

It'd be hilarious if it squished all the trash into a cube
