Build a DIY RC Car with Steering Under $20

Подробнее о видео

In this video tutorial we build a basic Remote-controlled Car out of PVC with steering on a budget. This DIY RC Car build is technically the heavily-improved version of the first RC Car I made in a popular video from 2019. A handful of you in that video had good suggestions as to what to improve on the car, so I took note and came out with a completely new Radio-controlled car by my design!

The car operates on these $5 40mHz toy-grade radio communication boards giving it an operating range of 10-20m, has 4 channels of control, and uses a 6V battery pack that'll last the car up to 2.5 hours of run time.
The DIY RC Car chassis/frame is fully handmade out of PVC.
The car achieves a speed of up to ~2.5m/s and is belt-driven by a 180 brushed motor with its 3 pulley wheels, implementing one for added torque and also features the homemade Self-centering steering mechanism unit that returns the wheels back to neutral position every time.

➡️ Before MAKING, please WATCH the previous video about its DIY Steering mechanism:
