MARK’s MONSTER is a small agile vehicle that responds to a wired hand held controller, which is used to steer the vehicle, using two push buttons to move forwards, left or right.
MARK’s MONSTER has two independent motors and gear-drives, each controlled by its own push button switch. If both buttons are pushed simultaneously the vehicle travels forward in a straight line, but if only one push button switch is pushed the car turns in the desired direction.
NOTE: The No-solder version has a motor and switch with wires pre-soldered to them, with twist-on connectors to join the wires.
