Car No.03 Steering Wheel Drive R/C Car with Arduino, Webcam and net.USB etc. But this is Crawler and 4WS (4 wheel steering)

This Car No.03 uses similar system as Car No.02, but different chassis Crawler CR-01 is applied, which has optional 2 servos system and that makes crab-driving (4 wheels same direction) or short turning radius driving (front and rear wheels different direction) available. It makes great fun for driving!
