-------------------------------------------
In this video, we build an Arduino-based Grip-style (Pistol-grip) Radio Transmitter for controlling custom RC vehicles.
This 3D printed hobby-grade radio transmitter has a comfortable feel and grip while being straightforward to build and use for anyone looking to control cars, boats, or any other vehicle that takes throttle and steering input with the adaptability of Arduino hardware.
This home-built RC transmitter is ideal to make if you're looking to use up some spare components and your 3D printer. A great DIY alternative for controlling Arduino-based DIY RC vehicles with lots of flexibility in programming and peripheral options.
