BIG UPDATE TIME: Here it is: 75€ for the Kit, This includes The module you can see in the photo and the two servo brackets. Free shipping worldwide. That's for a 10 work-days tracked air shipping. If you want it faster it's +15€ for a 5 work-days tracked EMS air shipping. (so 90€ in total). Orders will be opened once the website is up. Hopefully this weekend. Paypal payment.
TECH TALK: As you can see in additon to the power-in cable (it's a servo cable) and the 4 servo outs, there's a 7 pin JST one that will be used for the extra features. It has one ground, one +6V (or whatever you feed the power cable) and 5 signal pins. I can drive 2 servos, provide power for LEDs, or read 5 receiver signals to control the suspension.
At launch the extra features will include 1 brakes LED power/signal good for 2 LEDs (deceleration triggered), 1 for the exhaust pops and 1 output to trigger a custom sound in the sound module (audible backfire in this case). The last two need a throttle signal input.In future I will update the firmware (and provide it to everyone who purchased the kit, updating is easy, you need a PC).I have plenty of ideas for added features. Some examples:-read a receiver signal to control the ride height, or any of the other settings you can adjust on the fly-Simulate realistic acceleration rate by reading the throttle signal and outputing ESC signal.-Automatic mounting direction detection. Currently there is a direction in which the module has to be mounted in relation to the front of the vehicle. It is possible to rotate it 180 degrees (and 90 I think) and swap servo outputs to get correct motion, but this will interfere with other features.

The reason I am leaving out many features is that radio signals are often not stable and I have to do some testing and make sure reading receiver PWM signals doesn't introduce noise and it doesn't freak-out when it loses signal. Additionally radio PWM signal ranges are different and I have to make sure there's a way to calibrate.
There will probably be several combinations of features and ways to use the 5 pins based on people's needs.
The 6 knobs you can see control the following settings:
-Suspension speed
-Dampening
-Throw multiplier
-Servo range
-Front/rear balance
-Ride height
-Suspension speed
-Dampening
-Throw multiplier
-Servo range
-Front/rear balance
-Ride height
I'll explain more later. The idea is that it can be setup to work with any chassis and servos.
AGAIN, YOU CAN'T ORDER YET. I HAVE TO GO TO WORK AND MAKING A WEBSITE TAKES TIME. (My wife's making it but she has shit to do too (sandwiches)).
