i'm not an RC expert nor do i have much electronics experience, but has
anyone ever thought about using the circuit from a zipzaps type micro rc
car to make an RC lego brick?
according to this
page: http://members.aol.com/rchelicam/microszr/microszr.htm you can
safely hook up 4 AA batteries to the board with out any problems. this
page also explains how to make modifications to be able to add more battery
cells safely.
am i correct in thinking that this board (with the modification) could
control 2 lego motors? this board is so small it would be very easy to
hide inside a few bricks. these little cars can be found for around
$10. they also come is several different frequencies. the more
frequencies you have the more motors you could control.
