This is one of my biggest, longest lasting project. I started this on my birthday of 2016. Now, at that age (nine years old), most kids would have received a few video games for their console, a new bicycle, or even some articles of clothing. In sharp contrast, I recieved a one year subscription to the “Fortune” magazine, a magic school bus science kit (link), and a hobby grade RC car. This car immediately surpassed my previous toy mass-market car. I mean, my new car could drive on grass without getting stuck!
I know, I had low exceptions. This car isn’t that very high end for the hobbyist market, in fact, it is merely considered a Chinese knockoff a better known brand. But to nine year old me, it might as well have held the land speed record.
Naturally, I was very excited for a few weeks, then my commitment sizzled out. By the way, here is a link to the car that I am talking about. I left it for about a year. I am not quite sure how it came up again, but I was browsing the internet, and I came upon a forum detailing the upgrade of a RC car. After some quick research, I found a forum of equivalent information regarding my car. This sparked my journey to create the ultimate RC car.
