Note that the buggy can come with an AC motor! we are using the DC version on the right

Overview

The base model is a Kyosho Mini-z Racer MR-03 running on 4x1.5V AA batteries in series giving us a nominal voltage of around 6V.

Top speed is ~6m/sec, the wheel diameter is around 36,55mm

Specifications: Length: 163 mm * Width: 105 mm, height: 46 mm; trace (v) *: 86.5 mm; trace (h) *: 88.5 mm * Wheelbase: 114.5 mm; Tires (v / h): Ø34, 7x16 mm Motor: 130s, Chassis Type: MB-010

Steering motor

This is DC motor with an internal winding resistance of around x Ohm

At a PWM of 1kHz we see a max current of around 780mA this is measured with a scope using the Iout signal from the buck/boost converter. Note that the max current for the steering motor driver has been set to 800mA.
