Make Your Own RC Car From Screwdrivers

This article was written on July 15, 2006 by CyberNet.

Everyone wants to have that enormous RC car that they can drive around but now it is time to make a smaller RC car out of screwdrivers. I Make Projects has put together a wonderful tutorial that will show you how you can make your very own screwdriver car!

It takes a lot of imagination and two cordless screwdrivers that will power this two-wheel vehicle! It sounds so simple:

This is a radio-controlled vehicle made from two cheap, cordless power tools with wheels attached. The electrical control part consists only of an old R/C controller, two servos, and 4 microswitches. Since I had most parts already in my part bins, it cost me about 20$ to build.

I guess if you have a lot of free time on your hands this might be something to do. Remember that when you go to show your friends the cool car you made that they will probably think you are a true geek and may not want to hang out with you anymore .
