Budget

The overall cost of this project is estimated to be just over $100 for the parts included. This estimate does not include small parts such as bolts and screws, which are not more than $20.l A possible risk of keeping a small budget is the material required for multiple alternations of the parts to be fabricated, especially 3D printed parts. This risk is also true for parts machined from steel but not as big since existing metal parts are more easily altered. The parts for this project are funded by personal funds. Ordering all of the planned parts presented will cause no substantial increase in cost since the majority or major parts will be on one order from one proprietor. While the cost of small intermediary parts such as bolts and screws were predicted as being less than $20 total, they will hopefully be ordered from the same companies which will cause a small relative shipping cost for each part. Parts will also be 3D printed and because of issues with close tolerances many need to be redone multiple times. Certain parts were also used from past years RC car such as tires, bolts and adjustable turnbuckles in order to keep the cost minimal. The total cost of the parts purchased was $109.22. This project is personally funded. The initial projected cost of $100 was very close being over $9.22.
