Just thought I would let all the electric roadies see my new project car. Yes making a solar R/C Car is possible, just need to put some thought into it to make it fast like mine.
This car is completely solar powered and drives in excess of 20mph(30kph). I built the car to the Solar R/C Cup rules.
Since Solar R/C Cup is not held in the U.S. I thought by posting my car others would be interested in competing Summer 2009 in the U.S. This would be a relatively cheap project for any High School, College or individual to take on. It took only 10 hours of build time for my car and my budget was under $400 for everything including the Castle ESC and Spektrum RX.
