    Fist components arrived. Managed to do some initial setup and testing for remote control with ESP-NOW.
    For the remote control transmitter I hooked up an analog joystick to the ESP32 S3 Zero.
    The receiver is also ESP32 S3 Zero.


    Drive motor is working, not sure is this particular motor best for the task. It is fast, but not so powerful at low speed. Finding N20 motor with correct speed, voltage, torque is challenge.
     
    Steering stepper is working also, but has overheating issue as I cannot limit the current for the motor with this simple dirver.

    Next steps:
    Design of the test enclosure to test out drive motor and steering motor on real track.
