Still just printing static models? Want to build something that moves, lights up, or responds to your commands – like an RC car or a smart lamp – but feel stuck when it comes to electronics and hardware? You're not alone.
That’s why MAKEROAD – a global community for 3D printing creators – just launched MakerKit: a standardized electronics and hardware platform that removes the technical headaches. No more cross-industry barriers. Just print, plug, and play. Transform static prints into interactive creations.
Pre‑orders for the first MakerKit RC series opened on June 5, 2026 at 15:00 Beijing time. Limited early‑bird quantities available – check it out now!
What is MakerKit?
MakerKit is a model‑building ecosystem that combines three things: ready‑to‑use electronics & hardware kits, exclusive open‑source 3D models, and specially formulated filaments. No more hunting for matching parts. No more learning complex circuits. Just print, snap, and bring your creations to life – from RC CAR and RC BOAT to smart lamps and robots.
Even better: MakerKit follows a “one core kit, endless designs” philosophy. The official model library is constantly updated, and designers worldwide are invited to contribute. One set of electronics can power many different creations – more fun, less waste.
Real Makers, Real Stories
3D printing? You can do cooler things than you think.
So, how do you start a cool new 3D printing adventure? The answer lies in MAKEROAD's blockbuster product, honed for over half a year — the MakerKit RC series! Alongside pre-orders, we invited 100 testers from around the world – let’s hear what they have to say!
Blogger @Wei的造物计划 said: "This 3D-printed race car is a beast — faster than jogging, 50m range through trees. Add FPV, and the ground-skimming feel is just addictive."
Blogger @杰克_3D打印 shared after trying the MAKEROAD F1:
“Slow starts, mid-throttle turns, precise control — you have to feel it yourself. From full-power burnouts to slow drills and racing laps, it brought back my childhood RC joy. Every detail tells me — this is all about the joy of playing.”
@依旧的本杰明 turned the MAKEROAD RC BOAT into an "Undercover Duck" — a duck-shaped boat with a camera to follow real ducks. Did it work? Not really. But he proved there's way more fun to be had with MakerKit.
RC CARs and RC BOATs? A classic maker starting point — and the ultimate test for any kit. So why is MAKEROAD RC winning fans worldwide? Hardcore design. That's it.
● MAKEROAD RC CAR – Precision & Speed
Precise handling. Insane speed. That's what everyone says about MAKEROAD RC CAR. And it's no toy — every component is pro-grade.
The secret to precision? A 2.4GHz anti-interference remote system — same as drones. High bandwidth, real-time commands, no lag. Dynamic frequency hopping means up to 100 cars can race together without signal clash. Pure control.
Speed? 28,000 RPM. 30km/h top speed. A fast jog is only 8-9km/h. Good luck keeping up.
● MAKEROAD RC BOAT – Dual‑motor power
The MAKEROAD RC BOAT also comes with the same 2.4GHz anti-interference remote system. But what really surprised testers? The dual-drive setup. Two 130 motors delivering 16,500 RPM and a top speed of 15km/h. That's why in so many videos, this boat looks like it's about to launch out of the water.
Two motors also mean insane agility. Unlike a single-motor boat that relies on a rudder (slow turns, wide radius), dual motors use "differential steering" to act directly on the water — giving you tighter turns, faster spin, and much quicker U-turns. Even at low speeds, you get precise and reliable steering torque — a huge upgrade in low-speed handling.
The real game‑changer? 3D printing.
By standardizing the core components, MakerKit unlocks a world of possibilities. The RC Car library already has 3 official body designs; the RC Boat library has 2 hull designs – with more on the way. A model design contest is coming soon.
Official filament packs – perfectly matched to each model – are also available, from beginner to pro.
