Re: Radio control car
Look up some old episodes of Mythbusters. They did exactly this with quite a few cars and trucks, to perform experiments which were too dangerous for human-driven vehicles.
Unfortunately, they did not provide any specific details, I guess, to prevent people like you from copying this dangerous stunt.
IMO a full-size RC car could easily be very lethal. Even a minor error could result in siginifican property damage, possible injury and even loss of life. You may expose yourself to severe financial loss, lawsuits and possible criminal charges if anything went wrong (and as every RC enthusiast knows, something can very easily go wrong.
IMO the throttle, steering and kill switch could easily be operated by ordinary off-the-shelf RC model car components, and a bit of fabrication skill.
The brakes would be more difficult. You may need to operate the prakes using a pneumatic cylinder and compressed-air source, where the RC servo simply operates a compressed-air valve, which them would actuate the cylinder and thus the brakes.
But IMO, it would be a very, very dangerous project, and should not be completed.
