There are some more tools that I use for the build. I will list them completely once I do an inventory of all the tools.

For some reason, I am struggling with the steering. With very limited room, I cannot place the rotating servo in a position to have a good steering. The linkage that I came up with have all failed. As you can see from the video, the car would not turn right. It was only able to turn left. The servo turns fine, it's just when I turn right, the linkage "pull" on the steering arm and it looks like it it's pulling it up. When I turn left, the linkage pushes the steering arm so that's ok. I tried to make it similar to what other builders had done, but am unable to do so. The steering will have to be redesign altogether.

I was going to wrap heat shrink around the plastic wheels, but if I had done that, I would not be able to drift and do donuts with the car. It's actually much more fun to just have the car slide everywhere. It would be ideal to only wrap the plastic wheels with heat shrink if you want more control and if you only have a small area to drive the car.
