This is a realistic animatronic RC driver 1/10 scale. It turns the head using a micro servo that is inside the body. The arms move too when using a servo with the steering wheel.
There are 3 heads included:
- Head with beard and nice hair.
- Bald head with beard.
- Head with a mohawk hairstyle.
The cockpit is also included. That way you can try the driver and see how it behaves.
Here is a video of how it works:

To build this you will need:
Screws
- 1 x 4mm M1.4 screw to attach the servo to the body.
- 2 x 3mm M1 screws to attach the servo to the head.
- 2 x 4mm M2.5 screws to attach the servo to the cockpit.
Micro servo 2g

Servo 9g
Any 9g servo should work. This is the one I used: Servo MG90s all metal gear

To connect it to your RC you may need:
- 1 x Servoinversor – It can be useful to make the head turn the opposite direction (it
will depend on your main steering servo position)
I bought mine here: https://aliexpress.com/item/32728471122.html
- 1x Servo cable splitter – If you want to use the same channel of your main steering
servo, you will need it.

I have included a brief manual with instructions to build the driver. It is available in both English and Spanish.
IMPORTANT: To join the arms you will need to print "zip ties" using TPU filament. I used TPU-95A from eSun but you could use the brand you prefer. In case you can't print using TPU you can use a cord.
I hope you like it!
