thank you very much for all the info and the videos! i have been following your channel for some time now and your work still amazes me. i really want to start a hot wheels rc project but i have a long way to go since i need a lot of tools and parts to make one. without your help i would even imagine where to start. i have bough a few tools and now all thats left is the electrics and the chassis. still having a tough time finding a DasMicro Rx and the Tx that goes with it (the DT Tx2 that you use). i want to make something compact and awesome like your cars, not with a massive bulky Tx (a Spectrum for example) the looks out of place. either way i really appreciate the info and the blogs you have posted! keep up the great work and as long as you post videos the notification squad will be watching! :D

That's a amazing knowledge you are sharing, can also make a small vedio how to make steering setup step by step
Would u sell one of these or build one for someone
will you sell this car plz
Why does the video end abruptly?
How to created
There are tutorials and websites to help hobbyists but they all are in German I couldn't find any tutorial in English but yours can you please make a tutorial video about how to make the steering mechanism please thank you
I'd love to purchase one of your cars. Please message me.
