I’m buzzy whit a similar project.
And the same car.
Nice job what you did whit the head lights.
Time for some rework 😉
I replaced also the 6v battery by a 12v.
Bud I had a second motor so I connected in serial.
So I have both rear wheels powered.
Only I use 2 standard RC ESC’s and a RC controld reed relay whit a 3ch. RC pistol transmitor.
Steering is always enabled on the remote,
The motor is 6v bud runs on 12v,a lot of torque.
So I can always overrule the steering.
The only disadvantage is I don’t use a feedback.
So the steer don’t turns back to center position.
The advantage of that is my kids can steer self,
But I still have the possibility to correct them.
The throttle switch works true a simple servo tester.
I can set the max speed whit a hidden potmeter.
On remote I have full power.
In the future I want to make the throttle smooth like a reel car
The 3rd channel is for switching between remote and self driving. It is just a RC reedrelay that switch the signal wire from the receiver to the servo tester.
When the transmitor turns off or is out of reach the car can’t drive.
