For this instructable I am going to show you how to make a remote control lock out of an RC car. Let's get started.

What You Need...

  1. A remote control car
  2. A screwdriver
  3. You will also need to improvise

Striping Down the Car...

Take your screwdriver and take out almost every screw you can see. Remove every thing until your down to just the battery pack, the circuit, and the two engines. I removed one of the engines because it was easily detachable but it is not necessary. When your done with this step It should look something like pictures three through eight (it will look different depending on what kind of RC car you use).

The Lock...

For the lock I couldn't find the hardware I needed so I used some junk lying around. I can't help you with this step you are just going to half to Improvise. Sorry about that and I am going to try to find the hardware I need so I can edit this instructable.

DONE!!!

Here is a video of the the finished product. So now all you need to do is mount it to your door. If you want you can purchase a hobby box and mount it on your door to make it look nicer. Please leave a comment let me know what you think.
