Let the build begin.
The first task is to complete the 1:10 scale car build. My build is based of the openRC truggy. While all of the parts will be 3d printed, the required electronics will be sourced online. At a high level the electronic components that will need to be sourced are a DC motor, a servo (for direction control), lipo battery and an electronic speed controller (control the speed of the motor and hence the car).
The motor and servo will be sourced from hobbyking.com. For esc (electronic speed control) will be using a open source esc called vesc (vedder electronic speed controller). Vesc hardware and software stack is open sourced. Vesc original purpose was to attach and control electric motor to skate boards my purpose will be to drive a 1:10 scale car.
My project will finally link to MIT autonomous RC car. Once the 3d car is built, I hope to set it up with a nvidia jetson tx2 dev board and some sensors and let the car drive a miniature circuit. The project will mimic both the MIT Racecar and Nvidia Racecar /J, taking the best of both. That's a bold, crazy plan, I know will have to make it work.
Here is are time lapsed videos of the car parts being printed and put together

Finally car base all printed and joined together. Feeling excited.
