Easter Egg Buggy - RC

Wasn't quite sure what to do for Easter. Initially I thought a rubber band powered car made from styrofoam Easter eggs but we ended up with a radio controlled electric powered buggy. If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here. To help you find my videos I made two search guides /watch/wgcHOoOSBecSH or /watch/kRYwkwgU4jZUw or checkout my playlists page /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Main components - K'nex electric motor/gearbox unit 4 plastic disks taken from VHS cassette spools but CDs would work fine 8 plastic bottle tops Bamboo flower canes 1 bbq skewer Ball pen tube Hot glue Binding wire Plastic wheel/pulley - That little pulley thing has a hollow shaft inside it that it spins on and then the cane goes through the middle of that. I mentioned in the video that it was one of the runners for a kitchen drawer but in fact I now realise it came from a dishwasher I took apart a couple of years ago so here is an example http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GOPRNDC RC Transmitter,receiver,servo,battery pack Here are the eBay listings I have used, they are probably well out of date.

To find them follow my search guides /watch/wgcHOoOSBecSH or /watch/kRYwkwgU4jZUw or see my playlists page /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
