RC Crab - powered by CyberBrick

Hey fellow makers! I just had to share my two latest builds using Bambu Lab’s CyberBrick kit. Seriously, this no-solder RC system is a game-changer for hobby projects!

The RC Crab:
This “little” guy was supposed to be a toy for my kid, but I might be having more fun with it than he is! :smile:


  • Walks sideways and spins just like a real crab
  • Powered by 4 N20 motors from the kit
  • Uses the CyberBrick’s built-in RC system
  • I’m dying to see what color schemes you guys come up with!

Muscle Car RC (Almost Done!):
My newest obsession when I find spare time:








  • Only two N20 motors but it really moves!
  • The suspension actually works better than I expected
  • Super compact front axle with great turning radius
  • Added some sweet headlights because why not?
  • Works with rubber tires from CyberBrick Kit or with different sizes included to .3mf

Why I Love CyberBrick:
Finally an RC kit where:

  • No soldering means more time for designing
  • You can prototype ideas crazy fast
  • There’s room to grow (hint hint Bambu Lab!)

Files will be up on my profile soon - just tweaking a few last details. What do you think of these builds? Any suggestions to make them better? Hit me with your ideas in the comments!

All of these models look like such a fun time for makers to build and play with. I also can’t wait to see the crabs that people make!

They both look great - the movement on that crab is awesome!

That’s awesome.

Now I’m going to have to get two kits so I can have a battle between Josh’s walking table and your crab. :rofl:

It’s almost exact mechanism. We both started to do our projects in a secret, later it turned out that it is so similar. Strandbeast walking mechanism. Josh is way more experienced than I am, I bet his design will win, but I hope it will be a close one :wink:

Thank you, MaKim! I love your designs too—I’m glad to be in such a great community with you all. It’s a long way to reach your level, but I’ll do my best to close the gap. :wink:

Thank you for your kind words! I can’t wait to see them too! I think dark colors and glowing eyes would look a bit scary. ;p

It’s a freakin crab, dude. It’s already a winner. Look, you want my expert advice on how to make it even better than it already is though? It needs a knife.

Seriously though it is a very fun and interesting model. I love it. I think you did such an awesome job on that one.

That crab looks awesome! I just finished adding a couple more add-on kits. I can’t wait to see what the community starts creating once they actually get their hands on these!

How did you do that? I found that once I made my ‘pledge’ I couldn’t select anything else.

You go back to the Kickstarter page, “Manage your Pledge” up the top right of the page, then click “Change your pledge”. It’ll show you what you have currently pledge for. You can either change your pledged (i.e. you originally backed “B - Beginner Hardware Kit - KS Special” and now want “C - Ultimate Hardware Kit - KS Special” - as long as it is not marked “not available” you can pledge for that instead. Or, simply go into the one you pledge for before, and you’ll then have the options for the addons for that pledge tier. You can then choose a different number of addons and then confirm your payment again.

Thanks for the tip! I totally missed that I could select the SAME ‘reward’ and that would open up the add on page and I was able to increase the number of Beginner Hardware kits in my ‘pledge’.

I looked at the Kickstarter Kit parts lists and didn’t see any N20 motors in the list. Since there are four (I think) different N20 configurations for sale on Maker’s Supply, which configuration did you use for this model?

Looks great!
Reminds me of some good memories on the atlantic shores.
Thanks for sharing this awesome project.

Hi @TomczukCustoms
Impressive job!
I’m new to cyberbrick, can you tell me if the stearing of the car can be progressive or it as only 3 positions (all left, all right and straight)
