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

Speed
Wheel diameter is 36,55mm
Voltage | Measured RPM | m/s |
---|---|---|
5 | 2750 | 5.26 |
5,5 | 3100 | 5.93 ( 11% increase ) |

LCR measurements
The motor has resistance around 0.988 Ohm and a inductance around 172uH
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.
LCR measurements
The motor has resistance around 4.559 Ohm and a inductance around 30.37uH
Position feedback
This is a potentiometer connected to 3.3V with a overall resistance of 4.3 kOhm and a working range of 3.3 kOhm to 1.6 kOhm
