Building an RC Buggy

Summary:

Im going to build a remote controlled buggy for fun since I have never built any hardware with such complexity before. Im using a kit as it contains a lot of parts at a fairly reasonable rate and since it bundles up a lot of them. Looking for all of the parts separately would take a lot of time and would also go over budget. This is also my first time doing such a project thus this would be more beneficial. Additional products like the batteries, radios, wheels, etc. I’ll buy separately since they are not included in the kit

Plan

  1. Assemble the chassis.
  2. Connect the battery to the esc whcih in turn is connected to and powers the motor and receiver(connected to a bec) which powers the servo.
  3. Bind the radio receiver and remote(transmitter)
  4. Connecting the electronics to the mechanical components (chassis, axles, etc)
  5. Powering on and driving it.
