What RC cars are people using? #39

Not really an issue, but I have got everything working in this project but I am struggling with one thing. The car will not move!!

It looks like it is down to weight / poor choice in RC car.

I have tried pairing down, and am just waiting for the PiZero motor hat before I swap from Pi3 to PiZero, but suspect that it will still be too much weight.

So what are other people using? I might need to go out and buy something more powerful.

What car did you use lastly?

In order to understand if the overweight of your car+platform is causing the problem -- just lift it by hand. If you see that motor rotates your wheels based on directives of your robot -- yes, the issue is weak motor/servos. If there are no changes -- it's not your RC car issues, but yours-- you have wired/programmed something wrong.
