About this kit

Extends the Stage 1 platform with a mechanical arm attachment, controlled from the same style of DPDT switch remote -- now with two switch pairs. A hands-on introduction to mechanical linkages and load-balancing on top of the switch wiring learned in Stage 1.

What you'll build

4 hands-on builds included with this kit

1
Stage 1 platform
Rebuild the Stage 1 chassis and switch wiring -- Stage 2 is a direct extension of it.
2
Second switch pair
Wire the second pair of DPDT switches that will control the arm extension independently from the wheels.
3
Arm mount
Attach the arm extension to the chassis and balance its weight against the wheelbase.
4
Complete arm vehicle
Drive the finished vehicle and operate the arm from the same remote box.
