This project is able to control an RC-car with an old plane remote. The RC car died a horrible death of Childhood torture and loosing its remote. Therefore an Arduino, and an old plane Remote come to the rescue to help it live again.
This project uses an Graupner FM 314 40 MHz Remote and a Graupner FM SSS 40S receiver Currently it is using an Arduino Pro Micro 5 V clone to test it out and drive two motors of a stunt rc car ( tank style ).
