Hoverboard RC Bot Project

This project converts a hoverboard motor into a remote-controlled bot using a zs-x11h v2 controller and a Raspberry Pi Pico W. The bot is controlled via a FlySky FS-iA6B receiver. There is no end to this project. This is just me getting a platform to start with for tinkering.
