Great vid.

I especially liked the manual motion activator. (A good kick)
Works every time.

Cracking model. Great to see.

pics of the receiver and 4 cell AA bat installation.


Battery is under (ontop) of the servo installed with double sided tape. Receiver is also stuck on with double sided tape.
The servo is glued onto a piece of balsa wood to insulate it from the heat from the body.

Great video, as already said could do with a bit more room, but it does steer well.

A well though out RC system you have made on the car.
