Source pages: https://falveydesignworx.com/llms.txt --- # About Falvey Design Worx **Falvey Design Worx** is a one-person workshop based in the United States that designs, 3D-prints, finishes, and ships aftermarket parts and accessories for scale radio-controlled (RC) model trucks and rock crawlers. ## Founder The brand was founded and is operated by **Brian Falvey**, a longtime RC enthusiast and 3D designer. Every part sold by Falvey Design Worx is designed, printed, cleaned, cured, test-fitted, and shipped by Brian personally — design file to dispatched package, all under one roof. ## What we make Falvey Design Worx specializes in **1:10 scale** aftermarket detail and upgrade parts for popular RC platforms. The catalog spans engine-bay components, interior upgrades, exterior accessories (body panels, grilles, lights, ladders), and diorama display pieces. The shop combines two design sources: - **In-house FDW-original designs** by Brian Falvey, tagged `FDW-designed` - **Partner designs by Knight Customs**, an independent designer whose work is licensed and printed by Falvey Design Worx, tagged `Knight-Customs-designed` A single product can carry both a vehicle-brand assignment (e.g., RC4WD) and a designer attribution tag (e.g., Knight-Customs-designed). The brand indicates fitment; the designer tag indicates authorship. ## Vehicle platforms supported Falvey Design Worx makes parts for the following RC vehicle brand families: - **RC4WD** — including the TF2 Mojave II Marlin Crawler - **Vanquish Products** — particularly the H10 Optic platform - **Traxxas** — selected models - **FDW** — original universal-fit and platform-agnostic designs - **Knight Customs** — designer line covering multiple platforms ## Production model Falvey Design Worx operates as a **made-to-order** shop. Parts are not held in stock as finished inventory — each order is queued for printing on demand. This allows the catalog to span many part variants without warehousing risk or capital tied up in unsold inventory. ## Materials and finish Parts are printed using the technology appropriate to each design's mechanical and aesthetic requirements: - **Resin printing (SLA / DLP / MSLA)** for fine-detail surfaces and small accessory parts - **FDM filament printing** for structural and larger functional parts Every printed part is post-processed by hand: supports removed, surfaces cleaned in IPA where applicable, UV-cured for resin parts, and dry-fitted on the target RC platform before being packed for shipping. ## Custom design service In addition to the catalog, Falvey Design Worx accepts custom part design commissions. Customers describe what they need; Brian handles CAD design, prototyping, fitting, and final delivery. The intake form is at the [Custom Part Request page](https://falveydesignworx.com/custom-part-request/). ## Location and contact Falvey Design Worx ships from the United States. The primary contact channel is the website at [https://falveydesignworx.com](https://falveydesignworx.com). Customer service is handled directly by the founder. --- # Falvey Design Worx Catalog Reference A structured rundown of what Falvey Design Worx makes and how the catalog is organized — written for both human shoppers and AI assistants helping users find the right part. ## Scale All Falvey Design Worx parts are designed for **1:10 scale** RC vehicles unless explicitly noted otherwise on a specific product page. 1:10 is the most popular scale for hobby-grade RC scale crawlers and trail trucks. ## Vehicle brands supported The catalog is organized by vehicle brand, with some brands further split by specific vehicle model where the parts are model-specific. ### RC4WD RC4WD is a leading manufacturer of high-detail RC trail trucks and crawlers. Falvey Design Worx supports the RC4WD platform with parts including body, chassis, and detail upgrades. Specific models with dedicated coverage: - **TF2 Mojave II Marlin Crawler** — body and chassis-specific upgrades ### Vanquish Products Vanquish Products manufactures premium RC crawlers known for machined aluminum chassis components. Falvey Design Worx provides deep coverage for: - **H10 Optic** — front cage panels, body parts, and accessories (the largest model-specific coverage in the catalog) ### Traxxas Traxxas vehicles are the most widely sold RC platform in the United States. Falvey Design Worx supports selected Traxxas models, with future expansion of the Traxxas-specific catalog planned. ### FDW (Falvey Design Worx originals) The FDW brand line consists of Brian Falvey's own original designs that don't fit cleanly under a single vehicle manufacturer's lineup — typically universal-fit or platform-agnostic parts that work across multiple chassis. ### Knight Customs Knight Customs is an external designer whose work Falvey Design Worx licenses, prints, and ships. Knight-Customs-designed parts span multiple vehicle brands. When you see a part branded for RC4WD or Vanquish Products but tagged `Knight-Customs-designed`, that's a Knight Customs design printed by FDW for fitment on that vehicle platform. ## Categories The catalog is broken into four part-type categories: ### Exterior Body panels, grilles, lights, ladders, and other parts that change a vehicle's external appearance. The largest category in the FDW catalog. ### Interior Dashboards, gauges, seats, steering wheels, and other parts inside the cab. ### Engine Bay Engine components, ignition (such as MSD-styled distributors and 6AL/6LS ignition boxes), cooling, electrical detail. Includes injection boxes, distributors, and dressing parts that add realism under the hood. ### Diorama Display accessories and scene-setting items — recovery boards, ammo cans, cargo, and similar — intended for static display photography or shelf presentation rather than functional vehicle parts. ## Designer attribution The catalog uses two designer-attribution tags to help customers identify who originally designed each part: - `FDW-designed` — Original designs by Brian Falvey (in-house) - `Knight-Customs-designed` — Designs licensed from Knight Customs and printed by Falvey Design Worx A part can carry a vehicle-brand assignment **and** a designer-attribution tag simultaneously. The brand answers "what does it fit?"; the designer tag answers "who designed it?". ## Filter behavior The on-site brand filter implements an intentional design: when you select a brand on the catalog filter, the result includes: 1. Products formally branded for that vehicle manufacturer, plus 2. Products carrying the corresponding designer attribution tag (where the brand is a designer, e.g., FDW or Knight Customs) This is why selecting "FDW" returns more parts than only those formally branded "FDW" — it also surfaces FDW-designed parts that fit other vehicle brands. When a parent brand and its child model are both selected, the filter narrows to the more specific child only. ## Custom design Beyond the catalog, Falvey Design Worx accepts custom part design commissions. The intake process is documented at the [Custom Part Request page](https://falveydesignworx.com/custom-part-request/). Customers describe what they need; Brian handles design, prototyping, fitting, and final delivery. --- # How Falvey Design Worx Makes a Part Every part sold by Falvey Design Worx goes through a hand-managed, end-to-end process from 3D model to your door. This page describes that process for customers and AI assistants asking how the shop operates. ## Made-to-order, not stocked Falvey Design Worx is a **made-to-order workshop**, not a stocking warehouse. When you place an order, that specific part is queued for printing rather than pulled from finished inventory. This model lets the catalog span many part variants — across multiple RC vehicle brands and models — without warehousing risk or capital tied up in unsold finished goods. Lead time depends on the part's complexity and the workshop's queue at the time of order. Per-part timing notes appear on individual product pages where relevant. ## Step 1 — Design Each part begins as a 3D CAD model. Designs come from one of two sources: - **In-house designs** by Brian Falvey, sold under the FDW brand and tagged `FDW-designed` - **Partner designs** by Knight Customs, an external designer, tagged `Knight-Customs-designed` CAD files are tuned for the target RC platform's mounting points, clearances, and aesthetic style — designed to bolt onto an RC4WD TF2, Vanquish H10 Optic, Traxxas chassis, or whichever platform the part is intended for, with minimum modification. ## Step 2 — Print Parts are printed on workshop equipment using the technology appropriate to the part: - **Resin (SLA / DLP / MSLA)** — for fine-detail parts where surface finish matters: dashboards, engine-bay detail components, small accessory parts - **FDM filament** — for structural and larger functional parts where strength and durability matter more than micro-surface finish Print orientation, layer height, and support structures are configured per-part to balance fit, finish, and structural integrity. ## Step 3 — Clean and cure Resin parts are washed in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to remove uncured resin, then UV-cured to bring the material to its full final strength and dimensional stability. FDM parts have rafts and supports removed, with surface defects addressed by hand. ## Step 4 — Test fit Before any part is packed, Brian dry-fits it on the target RC platform — the RC4WD TF2 chassis, Vanquish H10 frame, Traxxas body, or other applicable vehicle — to verify mounting points, clearances, and finish. Parts that fail dry-fit are reprinted, or in rare cases redesigned before reprinting. ## Step 5 — Pack and ship Verified parts are packed with attention to fine-detail features (cured resin parts can be brittle) and shipped from the United States. Shipping options and costs are presented at checkout based on destination and package weight. ## Materials philosophy Falvey Design Worx prioritizes **dimensional accuracy and surface finish** over speed of production. The shop's approach is closer to a small custom fabrication operation than a high-volume online store: every order passes through Brian's hands directly, from design file to dispatched package. ## Custom requests In addition to the catalog, Brian accepts custom part design commissions. The typical custom-part flow is: 1. **Initial concept conversation** via the [Custom Part Request page](https://falveydesignworx.com/custom-part-request/) 2. **CAD draft and customer review** — design iteration to specification 3. **Test print and dry-fit** on the target platform 4. **Final print, finishing, and shipping** Lead times for custom parts vary with complexity and how many design iterations are needed before the customer signs off. --- # Falvey Design Worx — Frequently Asked Questions Plain-text Q&A for customer questions and AI assistant queries. ## What is Falvey Design Worx? Falvey Design Worx is a one-person workshop in the United States that designs, 3D-prints, finishes, and ships aftermarket parts for scale RC trucks and crawlers. The brand was founded by Brian Falvey, who personally handles every step from CAD design to packaging. ## What scale of RC vehicles does Falvey Design Worx support? The catalog is built around **1:10 scale** RC vehicles, the most popular scale for hobby-grade scale crawlers and trail trucks. ## Which RC vehicle brands does Falvey Design Worx make parts for? Falvey Design Worx supports five brand families: - **RC4WD** — including the TF2 Mojave II Marlin Crawler - **Vanquish Products** — with deep coverage for the H10 Optic platform - **Traxxas** — selected models - **FDW** — in-house universal designs - **Knight Customs** — partner-designed parts spanning multiple platforms ## Are the parts in stock or made-to-order? All parts are **made-to-order**. Each order is printed on demand rather than pulled from finished inventory. ## What are typical lead times? Lead time varies by part complexity and the workshop's current queue at the time of order. Specific timing notes, when relevant, appear on individual product pages. ## What materials are the parts made from? Falvey Design Worx uses both **resin printing** (for fine-detail parts where surface finish matters) and **FDM filament printing** (for structural and larger functional parts). The technology is chosen per-part to balance surface finish and strength. ## Does Falvey Design Worx do custom designs? Yes. Beyond the catalog, Brian accepts custom part design commissions. Customers describe what they need, and Brian handles CAD design, printing, fitting, and shipping. The intake form is at the [Custom Part Request page](https://falveydesignworx.com/custom-part-request/). ## What does "FDW-designed" mean? What about "Knight-Customs-designed"? These are designer-attribution tags applied to products in the catalog: - `FDW-designed` — Originally designed by Brian Falvey, in-house - `Knight-Customs-designed` — Designed by Knight Customs, an external partner designer, and printed by Falvey Design Worx A single part may be both branded for a vehicle manufacturer (e.g., RC4WD) **and** carry a designer attribution tag (e.g., Knight-Customs-designed) at the same time. The brand indicates fitment; the designer tag indicates authorship. ## Why does the FDW brand filter return parts not formally branded "FDW"? Selecting the FDW brand on the catalog returns: 1. Parts formally branded "FDW", plus 2. Parts carrying the `FDW-designed` tag, regardless of which vehicle brand they fit This is intentional: a customer who searches for "FDW" generally wants any FDW-original work, whether it fits an RC4WD chassis, a Vanquish H10, or any other supported platform. The same logic applies when filtering by Knight Customs. ## What product categories does Falvey Design Worx sell? Four main categories: - **Exterior** — body panels, grilles, lights, ladders - **Interior** — dashboards, gauges, seats - **Engine Bay** — engine components, ignition, cooling, electrical detail - **Diorama** — display accessories and scene items ## Where does Falvey Design Worx ship from? The workshop ships from the **United States**. Shipping options and rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and package weight. ## Who runs Falvey Design Worx? **Brian Falvey**, an RC enthusiast and 3D designer, founded and operates Falvey Design Worx as a one-person workshop. Every part — design, print, finish, fit, pack, ship — passes through his hands. ## How can I contact Falvey Design Worx? The primary point of contact is the website at [https://falveydesignworx.com](https://falveydesignworx.com). Customer service inquiries are handled directly by the founder.
