Nuked The Arduino-powered toy R/C car can dip, move, and drift almost exactly like a real car. It’s decked out with an awesome-looking 1963 Oldsmobile dynamic 88 wagon shell.
Most R/C cars do n’t move with quite the same illusion of weight. Most R/C car lean into turns and drifts, like a stunt car driven in a movie.
The car can bounce side to side and’fire’ up its exhaust pipes. It also gives you a brief look of what’s under the hood.
An active suspension system can actively adjust itself, usually to keep the car as stable as possible. But in this case, the system actively raises and lower each of the wheels in ways that simulate the movements and weight of a full-size car.
The system in the R/C car uses an accelerometer to replicate those movements. It sends that data to the Arduino.
The car has a lot of tech and tech packed into it. It’s a big car for tech, but it’s the most exciting car ever. Here are the guts of the car.
