RC car circuit

I long since gave up messing with anything that doesn't have a circuit diagram...
I generally found it was easier to scratch build.
Keep the receiver part, identify the outputs from it for the various conditions and then design/build the circuit you actually want. (mind you, I generally then lose the circuit diagram)
It gives better flexibility for future development too.
Sorry if this isn't what you want to hear.

One problem with your proposal is the situation when the transmitter is used to give forward/backward and steering commands simultaneously. If the RC system uses proportional control, you are better off working on the transmitter than the receiver, by limiting the extent of the steering command.

A couple of series diodes?

When your car turns either way, the two motors have an oposite polarity to one another.

Find the transistor outputs from the RF decoder that control the motors and XORthem; use the gate output to control a PWM before the DC BUS (e.g. 1=30%, 0=100%).

You'll need basic skills in electronics. If you self sufice at it, then design the circuits yourself or google the most basic schematics for each.

Thanks for the suggestions,

I did put together a 555 timer circuit for pwm-ing the voltage I wanted, but it seemed excessive for what I was doing. I was able to get it to work after sufficient head smashing using a series of npn's, diodes and a relay. Its not ideal by any stretch, but its doing what I want.

Thanks again for the suggestions - and lastly, can anyone recommend sites to look at for a person who is interested in getting into RC stuff more seriously?
