I’m a mechanical engineering student at Washington State University who designs, prints, and sells high-performance RC car components. This site is both my shop and my living resume.
A quick look at who I am, what I’m studying, and the skills I bring to every print and design.
Decades of automotive diagnostics, fabrication and repair is all it took for me to discover how my mind works. Really it was a few work colleagues become friends, that have shown me, I am a systems thinker.
With hands-on experience of every aspect of vehicle engineering, I continue to expand my knowledge base and experience by pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. The automobiles our world survives by are the most complicated and complete works of engineering achievements that the human race has seen. Working on vehicles afforded me insight into the scientific disciplines that are the building blocks of our existence. This granted me the opportunity to understand the world as a grouping of systems to which details are there to see as I choose. Science teaches us explanations about how our world works. With this knowledge, we can create amazing things when we choose to work cooperatively, opposed to competitively.
Another aspect of this website, is it affords me the opportunity to share more thoughts about the world that is all around us. Few things I believe absolutely and am always open to discussion with others of different perspectives, as this affords me insight I could not see from my own, limited perspective. This leads to my philosophy of life that I choose to live. Find your way to my blog to read and hopefully discuss our world.
Let’s discover the world together, one perspective at a time!
I like to fill everyday items to fill gaps in our daily life. RC parts are just one component of my motivation to create through CAD Design and 3d Printing.
Heads up: the items shown here are placeholder examples of what I'll be selling — not real inventory yet, and not currently available to purchase.
Topology-optimized A-arms printed in carbon-fiber reinforced nylon. Bolt-on for popular 1/10 platforms.
Aluminum + printed differential housings and motor mounts. Designed for strength and easy maintenance.
Low-drag rear wing and side dams. Printed and finished for immediate track use or further painting.
Need something that isn’t listed? I take custom design + print commissions. View full shop →
Selected builds that taught me the most — from chassis redesigns to suspension geometry experiments.
The formal path that fuels the rabbit hole.
I’m applying classroom theory — solid mechanics, materials, manufacturing processes, and dynamics — directly to the RC parts I design and sell. The shop is my ongoing senior project.

From design ideas to the philosphy of staying alive on a motorcycle, this blog is reserved for my musing about the world in general. As the name Rabithole suggests, welcome to my mind!
Layer adhesion, stiffness-to-weight, and what failed on the first three print iterations.
