Project Statement
We aim to develop a low-cost, easily customizable remote-controlled car that helps introduce public school students to electronics and CAD design through hands-on learning.

Schematic Diagram of Drive System
Chassis Prototype
This was a test of a solid rear axle with suspension
We also took Enzo's RC car from home and made the wheels more slick to make it able to drift.
Electronic Prototype
Electronic Prototype (Iteration 2)
This next iteration is a design by TheDIYGuy999. It uses a Arduino, Hw-123, potentiometer and a servo. The potentiometer controls how strong the steering assist is.
Steering Prototype
This is a prototype of the Akerman steering commonly used in RC cars and regular cars
Steering/Chassis/Electronics Prototype
A 3d printed version, with a servo for steering and a broken h-bridge circuit for motor control

Electronic Kit:
- Arduino Uno
- MPU 6050
- Servo
- Breadboard
- Jumper Wire
- Batteries
Mechanical Kit:
- 3d Printed chasis
- Guide to put things together
1) Get a moving prototype by fixing the h-bridge
2) Make it look nicer
3) Add the gyro
4) Create instructions and make it a buildable kit
Next Steps
Thank You!
In this project we aimed to create an affordable, easy to build rc car kit. Its target audience/users would be middle school to high school kids who want to get into coding and customizing rc cars. It includes an adjustable chassis, gyro drift assist(this helps the car hold an angle while drifting and keeps it more steady while driving) and is supposed to be affordable.
