The hardware components used in the project

  • The remote control is a Flysky FS-T6-RB6 2.4GHz FSI found the 2.4GHz remote control and the receiver at a good price on eBay, somewhere early this year.
  • The receiver with six radio channels
    it came bundled with the remote control.
  • The aluminum chassis
    I bought the chassis two years ago to use it outside(in the park, on the street, etc.). So far, I didn’t play with it very long and not outside the home. The reasons are the following: poor performance of the DC motors, wheels of a breakable rigid plastic, relatively small space inside the chassis, so a greater exposure of the components that are mounted outside of the platform.
  • The Sabertooth 2x25A motor driver
    I got it last year and is a powerful motor driver capable of controlling high torque DC motors. The DC motors used in this chassis are low power consumption as well as performance.
  • LiPo battery
    the battery is a 7.4V Zippy with two cells and a discharge rate of 20C.
  • Power wires and tools
    I needed some power wires, a screwdriver, and a soldering iron.
