Lamborghini Aventador RC Car Teardown

Breakdown of Components & Manufacturing Techniques

Press Each Category Below To List Each Component And Materials 🙂

Body Of Car
  • Top: plastic; outer shell resembling the real Lamborghini Aventador)
  • Bottom: plastic; underbody of the outer shell)
‘Engine’
  • Chip XT-015R (4-20mA Current Transmitter with Sensor Excitation and Linearization) metal and plastic; monolithic 4-20mA, 2-wire current transmitter with two precision current sources, serves as the car’s internal controls
  • Conductive Metal: copper; located on the inside of the top of the car, conducts electricity from the batteries to the front wheels
  • Wires: copper and rubber; red and black covered wires used to transmit electrical signals to all parts of the vehicle
Wheels
  • Power Box: plastic; mounted right under the battery slot in a white, small container with grease
  • Front Wheels (plastic; free-standing, not attached to the outer body)
  • Motored Rear Wheels (plastic; attached to the outer body, sealed in an enclosure that cannot be opened)
  • Rear Wheel Gearbox (plastic and weird lubricant; resting above the rear wheels, filled with a white grease that seems to keep the gears lubricated so that the rear wheels can turn)

Tools and Techniques Used For Teardown

I only needed to use my hands and a generic tiny screwdriver 🙂

2 Design Highlight

North/South and East/West directional controls on the controller

I personally think that it makes perfect sense to keep the controls to a rigid two-direction option, however, I personally prefer a controller with more mobility in its use. Overall, though, this tactic is straight to the point and effective.

The car’s purpose is to drive rather than capture the car’s details

When I first received this car, my first instinct was to try to open the doors to see how detailed the model actually was. Unfortunately, the entire car’s body was just mainly one big piece covering the ‘engine’ inside. I understand this is more cost-effective, especially if the purpose is speed, not Lamborghini details.

Final Thoughts

Overall, this seems to be a nicer RC car, but a cheaper car model. This was a fun product to teardown, as I was surprised by what I found inside. Not as much material is needed to create some fun!
