Scaled Up Cheap RC Car

Frank Alvarez asked "make RC car that uses bottle tops for wheels one motor and second motor and some gears or something like a that for turning left and right no servos !! and one cheap rc receiver from an old car for the body of the car you can use cardboard or styrofoam and Li po battery" This project is NOT exactly what he wanted but I thought it would be more fun than bottle top wheels.

They are just the packaging that my local supermarkets use for pizzas. I use them because they are free and would otherwise be thrown away. You could use any polystyrene or styrofoam packaging you can find or even buy foam board from model shops. The foam I am using is about 5mm thick.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
