Custom RC Pipe

Here is a project that I did a few years ago and now decided to show it to you!

It is quite cheap and easy to build and does not require a lot of sklls. On top of this, the result is fun and very enjoyable.

Let's make RC pipes, people!

Step 1: Idea

The idea is to mix all the components you see here and make the Pipe controlled - an RC Pipe!

You can use a variety of cordless drills for example. The same is with the wheels and the pipe. It could be shorter or with a bigger diameter. It all depends on how you want it to be.

I used two medium sized drills - some cheap ones to be honest. They were powered with 12V batteries one of which is in the RC Pipe.

wouldn't it be easier to use commercial RC stuff (like 360 servos?)

Definitely yes, it's just the whole idea. It is possible to do it with servos as well as with motors.

very good idea!
The tail may be a little whell too, to minimize the friction.
