My video about this project:

 

The cars that I disassembled for this project were both Himoto HI4185/HI4185BL. Only parts that I used from them are front and rear differentials (The whole shock tower assembly with wheels, gearbox and steering links). I replaced each original bumper with shorter 3D printed version.

  • 2x Himoto Front Differential 
  • 2x Himoto Rear Differential 
  • 2x 5mm Red LED
  • 2x 12V 5050 RGB LED Strip with DIP Switch for Drones (47x10mm)

  • 5/6V Buck Converter (for powering the Servo, Receiver and LEDs)
  • Pistol Style RC Transmitter and Receiver (I used Himoto MT-301 TX and RX)
