Ok, what´s up with this group?
I started designing my own RC car some time ago. I´m no RC expert or a 3D printer expert for that matter, i just love 3D printing and well, RC stuff is alot of fun.
Belive it or not, knowing next to nothing about how RC cars actually work i had loads of questions but nowhere to ask them. So this is basically the reason for creating this Community and also the Google Group.
Hopefully this can be a place to ask and discuss those questions and ideas myself and anyone else might have.
In my mind anything RC related is welcome, may it be a car, a boat, a plane or why not your own crazy idea?
As i understand by the addition of 60+ members today i´m not alone out there and i think it´s awesome!
I have my own project, a car. These are some of the goals i set for myself:
As much as possible needs to be 3D printed. If you have a 3D printer you should be able to make it.
No weird special parts.
It should be a design which is not to complicated but with simple enough geometries. Easy to make, easy to modify CAD files.
I want to set a good example and share as much as possible.
When it´s done, you´ll be the first to know. 
Lastly, i´m only doing this for fun. I just like building stuff and why not build an RC car and have fun while doing it?
That said, thank you for your time and let the fun begin!

This seems to be a perfect community for me too. Thanks for setting it up.
I have almost same situation, only that I haven´t yet started to design my own RC car. I decided first to model Tamiya DF-03Ra kit and after that start to make an own model.
One feature I want to have on my car is the ability to stream live HD video, so that the car can be controlled via monitor. I want the same camera system work on quad-copter too. There are some advanced DIY projects in Thingiverse that have Arduino or some other systems on a RC vehicle for streaming video and audio both ways. I wish to be able to build something like that in future but before all that:
I want to finish the DF-03Ra 3D model and 3D print a custom body for that, an old Saab 96. (Solidworks & Dimension SST1200es). I have also plans to build a track to my backyard (that projects goes under the name of “Garden with paths” because that way it gets more support in our household).
Here is where I am now at with the project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=5ROGYV7miqY#t=19s
I wish to get those ready soon as possible so I can start with my own car project and the video streaming system.

I think this is a great project idea. I do a fair bit of RC racing and have been looking at a 3D printed alternative. Eager to see this released.
I think that even if your not that much into RC this will be an excellent project to show of 3D Printing.
