TK3D releases the Drift27, a 3D-printed 1/10 drift chassis
A father-and-child project posted to r/rcdrift, the Drift27 is published as STL files rather than sold as a kit. You print the structure and supply the shocks, bearings, driveshafts, belt and axles yourself.
Daichi Morita2 min readWhat the Drift27 is
TK3D's Drift27 arrives as files, not as a boxed kit. The builder, posting to r/rcdrift as u/Adventurous-Song8436, describes it as a 1/10 RC drift car designed with their kid and tested against commercial cars before release:
"Finally its ready for everyone to print and build their own project." — u/Adventurous-Song8436, r/rcdrift, 2026
The printed parts are specified for PLA and PETG. Everything that has to be metal or rubber is left to the builder: the post lists shocks, bearings, driveshafts, belt and axles as standard parts you either pull from old RC cars or buy from the shop you already use. The full hardware list is shown in photos on the Cults listing rather than written out in the post.
A few things the announcement does not state, and which matter if you are costing a build: it does not say whether the car is RWD or AWD, where the motor sits, or what the wheelbase is. It does not name which commercial chassis the Drift27 was tested against, or what surface that testing happened on. No price is given for the files in the post itself.
Where to see it and where the files are
The builder links footage of the car running at a track — watch the Drift27 on track on YouTube — plus a short clip. The track, layout and tire are not identified in the post.
The STL models are on Cults, in the Drift27 listing, where the parts photos live as well. The announcement thread is on r/rcdrift.
