RC Car Mods

This is a video showing all the modifications I did to the car. All the modifications are super cheap. Enjoy!

RC Plow

This is an RC Plow I made to fit my RC car. All of the parts from it were made from junk I had lying around. Now I can clear the driveway from the comfort of my home!

The plow is made from sheet metal steel. I bent the steel from a piece of PVC pipe to get the right curvature. I then mounted a hinge to the back of the plow and to a piece of aluminum that I mounted to some empty screw holes on the frame of the RC car. I then used an old servo and glued it to the aluminum to provide the power to lift and drop the plow. The servo was connected to a broken and old RC helicopter receiver and electronic speed controller. I then had two different controllers for the RC car and the plow. Next time, I will try to put both the plow and the RC Car remote controllers in one, by adding a switch to the RC Car's controller.

RC Boat

Here is an RC boat I made a while back. The boat took about a day to make, since forming the styrofoam took a while to get the shape I wanted. It is primarily made from broken RC helicopter parts. It isn't very fast, but it is still plenty of fun! I'd use it again today but it's 5 degrees Fahrenheit outside...

This is a blog I am starting to document all the projects I make in my free time. This way my parents know that I'm not just sitting around doing nothing the entire weekend. Enjoy!
