I just used an electronic speed control for a rc car connected to the radio receiver. Since that is not setup like servo it will not return to center on its own. However with some research you can find how to build a servo from a motor online, lots of people have done it, I just didn't feel I needed that at the time.
This is awesome, but how are you stopping the motor spinning after you've complete the full turn, surely the motor will still want to keep spinning ??? Let me know, as this is something i'm looking at for one of my projects. Thanks
It will continue to try to rotate until you stop it with the remote, this was a super quick low effort project that i was too lazy to putting any extra effort into lol.
To make it stop you need a servo if you are doing what I did using a remote control transmitter and receiver for a rc car. There are ways to turn a motor into a servo though.
Can you send me more details on the controller you used for this. I'm trying to build one for my daughter with cerebral palsy but I want the ability for little cousin to drive also.
i am in a group for go baby go, we need to make a power wheels for a disabled kid who cant walk. We need to make the steering remote controlled and i am wondering how you did this. Please get back to me. this would be super helpful.
Hi, im trying to do the same thing, i got a motor, but it is only the motor without the wires, it has 8 pins. it came out of a 2001 audi a6. how i can i figure out which pin i should connect the + and - ? thank you for the answer in advance!
That’s just a power window motor from some gm car or truck that was laying around in my scrap pile. And then I bolted a love joy coupler half to it to give me some round thing to wrap a cable around. I’m sure someone has a lot better option to this by now! Looking back at it I know I could do something better now days.
Nice design!

My daughters power wheels steering motor keeps blowing. Gonna install a mechanical steering instead of this shiny 12v motors
I would like to know how you did this. I'm building on myself and having trouble figuring this part out.
I had no idea how bad would be at driving. When i add some power, rc steering is 100% necessary
What did you use to set that up I need that setup on my kids Jeep hurricane I put nematic tires and now it has so much traction they can’t steer

Superb
What is the part number for the motor? Please put in the description. Thanks.

What size lovejoy coupler is that?
