STEP 1 – THANK YOU! 

 

 

We would like to thank you for purchasing the GP3D Grand Prix “Type-BT” RC car kit. This model is 
inspired by the legendary achievements of Sir Jack Brabham highlighted by his unique achievement 

in Formula 1 winning the 1966 World Championship in a car bearing his own name!  

 

 

This kit is a totally new fusion of radio control cars, plastic model making, 3D printing and of course 

the glorious and iconic “Grand Prix” era of the 1960’s. 

 

 

The various printed components have been made from carefully selected polymers to achieve 

various characteristics, such as; strength, flexibility, impact resistance, colour and texture. This 

results in scale looks and colours (without the need for painting unless desired!) whilst ensuring a 

cool functional RC car. 

 

 

The inherent nature of 3D printing parts means for a given material and shape it will not be quite as 

strong as an injection moulded equivalent. To counteract this, we have carefully selected and utilised 

the latest available high quality and hence higher cost 3D printing filaments to ensure a good 

durability when compared to other plastic moulded RC kits. More information about these materials 

is covered in the next step! 

 

 

We hope you love and enjoy building and driving this model, so we are always available to help and 

support with any questions or issues you may have. We would also love to receive pictures of your 

finished model in your chosen livery that we can add to our online 

Customer Gallery
