Crazy-Ass Fast RC Car Updates 9/19

Hey everyone,

Quick heads-up: The name of the RC car project has officially changed to Crazy-Ass Fast RC Car.

I am happy to report that my boards are finally in! The PCBs were fabbed in China through SeeedStudio. I highly recommend their service to everyone. The boards seem to be really high quality and well built. Despite the really low price, they are looking really sharp. Also as a plus, I received 9 copies of the board even though I ordered 5 boards. So they are also quite generous.

I haven't had a chance to populate the boards yet. There are going to be a lot of components on the board, so it is taking a long while to gather everything needed. I am on a tight budget so I am buying most of the components on eBay shipped from China. The footprints are spaced out perfectly for the C2000 LP! Boards are looking very promising.

Here are some pictures:
