Help with parts selection for Trex-base

Hey there,

maybe you can help me with buying the parts needed for the Trex-base to operate it with a simple remote control. I’m not into automation or building “robots”, i just want a tracked rc-car.
I think i need a motor controller, some kind of receiver and a remote…
Are there any sets you can recommend? I’m not versed with programming, so i want to do without arduino & co - if possible.
best regards & thanks - sui

Hi there,

Welcome to the forum.

Here’s something to start you up.
Here’s some good Remote: https://www.robotshop.com/en/wireless-rc-pwm-servo-controllers.html
Make sure you choose one that has the Receiver included.

Also, when you know the specifications of your motor, you can choose a motor controller: https://www.robotshop.com/en/catalogsearch/result/?q=sabertooth&order=relevance&dir=desc

If you choose one that support R/C it will be much easier to setup and install on the Receiver.

Let me know when you get started.
