      Saw this and thought a few techies;) here would be intrested? It was in the links over at BitCar-G Grand Prix. It is a bit over my head atm, but looks like you can order these boards premade? Not sure about the IR, but the proportional speed would be great.

      Anyways thought this may help one or two out there trying to make proportional (speed) control bits?

      Old news, it’s only throttle and gives you all the disadvantages of a Digi-Q.

      You could buy ‘clones’ of this car (Bit type with IR throttle propo) a while back at TE (they’ve disappeared now).

      Several people have built fully propo Bits, including myself (Zip Zap wheelbase). It’s very easy, just expensive.

      Thanks OTP, was impressed with the board thou. Did you ever finish your 1/64 F1 or the Ford GT? I am working on a GT atm and it is taking longer then I would like. Alot of rounded curves on that car makes it hard to get symmetry just right, but I think I have it now:) pic in gallery near top.

      Cool, no, I gave up all my 1/64 projects and have gone to 1/32 scale. I can build propo cars all day, hehe. The only car I still want to finish is my 1/60 Renault Espace F1.

      I switched scales for many reasons, including the time/reward ratio you mentioned. I can simply do better, faster than I could in 1/64, plus things like planes are actually doable (without only having 1/64 Jumbos).
