3D Printing instructions:

• Body part STL files are designed for FDM printing. (except light covers…)
• Print bed needed for 1/10th scale: 200x200mm
• Infill: 20%
• Layer height: 0,2 mm
• Print Speed: 40-60 mm/s
• Noozle diameter: 0,4 mm
• Support: main body parts need a little at their bottom
• Material: PLA, ABS
• Cooling Fan Speed: PLA 100%, ABS LOW or OFF to prevent warping
• Extruder (hot end) Temperature: PLA (190-220°C), ABS (220-250°C)
• Bed Temperature: PLA (50-60°C), ABS (90-110°C)
• Bed Adhesion: 3DLAC Spray adhesive (For perfect adhesion to the printing bed and to avoid warping)
• We printed the body with PLA filament because we aimed for low shrinkage,
  if you have an enclosed printer, using ABS should not be a problem
• Neither Rafts nor Brims needed for printing
• Slicing made with Prusa Slicer

We 3D printed it with an Ender 3 V2 Neo

This BMW M3 GTR BodyKit STL is a perfect fit for 1/10 RC builds.

Precision, accuracy, and authenticity—these are the foundations of our RC body kits. After all, the BMW M3 GTR (E46) is a legend in motorsport and automotive history, not to mention its iconic status in the NFS universe. That’s why we’ve brought it to life in 1/10 scale without any compromises. Unlike many manufacturers, we always design the body first, making sure to respect the real-world dimensions. Only then do we develop chassis options to fit it perfectly, using our widely customizable RC Chassis DESTINY.

Why Choose & Build This RC Body Kit?

• True-to-Scale Accuracy
  This bodywork is made for those who appreciate realism in their builds. Many factory-made RC bodies, in contrast, are tweaked to fit universal non-customizable chassis, often leading to odd proportions. They are too wide, too short, or stretched. However, our model is a direct downscale of the real BMW M3 GTR from the early 2000’s. It is maintaining every line, angle, and proportion as intended. So, if you are after a model that truly looks like an actual 1/10th version of the real thing, then you’ve just found it!

• Unmatched Detail
  From the aggressive aerodynamics of the GTR variant to the intricate bodywork. We’ve been modeling carefully every exterior design element to ensure maximum fidelity. As a result, all details make it stand out in any RC lineup. Moreover, everything—the vents, wheel arches, and overall stance—faithfully mirrors the real car. Ultimately, it’s a true summoning of the Need for Speed Most Wanted GTR from 2005.

• Perfectly Engineered for 3D Printing
  We didn’t just scan a model and call it a day. Instead, optimized each body part for FDM and front, tail lights for Resin printing! Ensuring that even consumer-grade printers can produce high-quality results. Furthermore, the panel lines are crisp, the fitment is designed with tolerance in mind. We would like to point out that the final 3D print requires some post-processing (sanding).

• A Fully Customizable Experience
  Do you prefer a clean factory look, a full race-livery replica, or just a unique personal touch? Regardless of your choice, this STL kit allows for limitless customization. Additionally, the included vinyl templates make it easy to create accurate headlights, taillights, and window decals, if LED lights are not your thing. Furthermore, with the separate parts, you can print different components in various colors if you’d like to skip painting.

• Strong Community and Support
  Purchasing this body kit isn’t just about getting a set of STL files—on the contrary, it’s about joining a thriving community of RC enthusiasts who share tips, modifications, and build progress. Whether you need help with print settings, post-processing techniques, or chassis compatibility, rest assured our Forum and support channels are there to help.

The Process of Bringing This Model to Life

Every great project starts with a vision. The modeling process involved countless hours of refining edges, testing fitment, and optimizing for printability. We wanted builders to have an easy and rewarding experience. To achieve this, we broke down the model into logical sections. Furthermore, we provide clear guidelines for assembly in our YouTube video.

After the initial design phase, we then ran extensive test prints to validate dimensions and carefully adjust tolerances. Even minor changes can make a huge difference in how the final product fits together. Ultimately, our goal was to make the model durable enough for track use. As a result, the new boltable body parts are giving us a more robust and sturdy build.

Bringing Your Build to Life

Printing and assembling this body kit is just the beginning. After that, you have full creative control over how your build turns out. Do you always like to airbrush a custom paint job? Or perhaps apply realistic weathering effects? Maybe you want to replicate a famous race livery? In the end, your imagination is the only limit to how the final thing will look like.

For those who love the challenge of a detailed build, therefore, there are endless opportunities to add finishing touches. You can fine-tune the stance with the right wheels and tires, furthermore, add LED lighting for a true-to-life glow, or even experiment with different materials for various parts of the body. In case you have a good idea what we should add to this BodyKit. Please do not hesitate to open a topic on our Forum.

Final Thoughts

Owning & building a 3D-printed RC car is a passion that combines engineering, artistry, and hands-on craftsmanship.
