One word of caution though. RC toys usually do not use high effeciency motors and may not have the maneuverability necessary. Sometimes, more time is spent adapting the RC toy platform for robotics use. Whilethis is not the case for all RC toys, just a quick note so that these factorsare considered when going this route.
