if you ever put an RC car together then its pretty simple from there. if u have never then.....mmmm it may take some time to get an understanding of parts like servos, recv, radio's etc....but its not rocket science by a long shot

I did not had any experience with RC stuff before I created these rides. I don't think RC I think in terms of lowrider and how to make it move.
The beauty of my RC rides is that the setups are so plain and simple that even die hard RC builders don't have a clue how it's done. The real challenge lays in coming up with simple solutions...and that's not as easy as it sounds.

I see the radio controller, but how do you make it talk to the car? Where can I get the parts to make a radio controller transmitter/receiver? Great work by the way. Love the realistic look and the detail.

Thanks!
I used salvaged parts from a $5 micro RC vehicle. Antenna is just a wire that runs around inside the car. Reception is about 4 meters.

Must be great for getting over things like curbs, getting out of pot-holes.

HO motor are also called slot (car) motors if you want to know the exact type try the Mabuchi website. A servo coupler is basically the same as a rivet. Rivets you can buy at a craft store.

This will probably sound stupid, but what is a mircro servo? and what does it do? I've tried googling it.

I get tons of info when I Google micro servo.
It's a small gear motor that is used in RC cars, planes, boats, etc.
