Our RC community gets bigger every\u00a0day. Soon, you’ll be able to find almost any replacement part on Shapeways. Check out two awesome new RC Car<\/a> shops that are setting the standard \u2014 and providing parts\u00a0you won’t find anywhere else:<\/span><\/p>\n

MC3 \u2014 Mini-Car Club of Canada<\/b><\/h3>\n

The 1\/28th scale Mini-z racers have been a popular class at Shapeways for a while, with many upgrade parts available in our marketplace<\/a>. One of the latest shops to join is\u00a0MC3<\/a>, which is short for Mini-Car Club of Canada. These guys have developed their own Mini-z based open-wheel Formula racer with a 2017 style body and wings, and realistic double wishbone front suspension, bringing back Formula racing to the Micro RC world.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in the realistic-looking and functional 2017 spec spoiler,\u00a0you can find it here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>All parts for this conversion kit are now available at Mini-car Club of Canada\u2019s Shapeways shop<\/a>.

Thundershot Pit Stop<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another brand-new shop is Thundershot Pit Stop<\/a>. While RC car manufacturer Tamiya has been re-releasing many of their vintage models, Tamiya Thundershot fans have been left chasing hard-to-find and brittle 30-year-old original parts to repair their beloved cars. With no re-released parts available, Shapeways user Badaboom49<\/a> has designed spare parts for the Thundershot and Terra Scorcher, often with improved geometry and extra options. Now, anyone can\u00a0repair and race their car again as if it were a brand-new release.<\/span><\/p>\n

So if you’re looking for a replacement suspension arm<\/a><\/span>, you\u2019re in the right place!<\/span><\/p>\n
