This is the electric motor upgrade build log of a Bobby Car using two Hoverboard. The end result will have four motors, one per wheel, two Xbox 360 potentiometers as throttle and brake on the stock steering wheel, and two push buttons to turn on and off each controller separately (e.g. FWD, RWD, AWD). Inside the Bobby Car cavity, the controllers, battery, and cabling will reside.
The controllers will be flashed to a new firmware developed by Larsmm which is a fork of NiklasFauth original base.
