WOW! i wish i could do something like that! if only i can get my hands on a car that actually runs thats REALLY cheap.
once you build it, how are you going to test it?? or actually, where?
if it goes out of control, thats really not a pretty picture..
ps. dont forget the hand brakes and shifting to neutral!! doing doing full 180s in drive at some speed will hurt your car... itll stall your engine if your going fast enuf
and turning a steering wheel is kinda hard... and centering your wheels may be hard to program unless you have some sensors. yes they will eventually go staight but thats only eventually. itll take a lot of getting used to if youre gonna center your wheel just by pulling your joystick hopefully enough.
