Mark, I'm afraid that once you get on the Handy Board mailing list, the only way you can get off is to build a Handy Board, and then use a secret code to get disconnected.

the car will almost undoubtedly fry the motor driver on the HB, and having it on the same power will probably generate enough noise to occasionally reset the HB. best bet would be to have the car use its own power and h-bridges, with the control (...)

First of all - get rid of the CAPS LOCK!!! Second of all, if your RC Car draws a Max Current of 3.5 Amps then you'll blow the motor drivers on the handyboard since they're only spec'd to provide 1 A.
