ABSTRACT:
A modular system for remotely controlling an automotive vehicle is provided. The system issues commands responsive to a radio control transmitter, which controls the vehicle by its steering device and respective control pedals for acceleration and braking. The system includes a steer linkage, a steering motor, a pedal linkage, a linear actuator, a radio receiver, and a digital motor controller. By employing a chain pulley, the steer linkage removably attaches to and controllably rotates the steering device. The steering motor conveys torque to the steer linkage. The pedal linkage removably connects to and pushes against at least one of the control pedals using pinned moment levers. The linear actuator transmits force to the pedal linkage. The pedal linkage may be removably mounted on a linkage platform. The radio receiver receives command signals from the transmitter and communicates with the steering motor and the linear actuator via the digital motor controller.
