Watch me use a FlySky RC remote receiver, an esp32, high-current motor drivers, servos, an FPV camera, and a little pyrotechnic magic to upgrade this Power Wheels to an RC pan-tilt FPV Halloween beast. This project covers electronics, aluminum tig welding, robotics, gas solenoid valves, and high-voltage transformers. I call him Ghost Toddler.
