Starting a new project: RC offroad truck in 1/87 scale
So I finally started a new RC truck project, this time an offroad 3 axle truck, with suspension and at least 2 rear axles driven.

After a year of working on the project, the portal crane is finally finished!
Research on hardware selection
For the project, BLE hardware needs to be chosen. I’ve considered 2 options: using a ready-made BLE board and custom-made PCB.
BLE-based micro scale RC receiver
A 10x14mm PCB with nRF52 MCU
Motor control board
A small PCB to control motors in small-scale models. I’ve developed it as part of the portal crane.
