    Method Of Steering

    I used a rack and pinion and with a bit of engineering magic I made it work even though the wheels had no front axel

    Rear Wheeled Propulsion

    Chain and sprocket, simple as.

    Automated Door

    Using a servo motor to open it.

    anyone know if using a brushless motor and ESC, along with a reviver for radio control , if this would go against the brief and result in my project not getting full marks?
    I've built mine with the diff and transmission from a mini e-revo. I'm just going to drop in a ****ty dc motor and crappy gears before the lc. I don't see how what I've done is breaking the rules, but not worth the risk.
