Hey, guys!
So I'm a noob to RC stuff and I'm really interested in making RC stuff work, and I want to make my own high performance RC car I guess.
I have got 2 11kv BLDC motors and 2 ESCs that I can use, but I have no idea how to make the car body, brakes (unless I stop the motors), steering system and what to use to control the car, i.e. Arduino, rpi, or something else. I'd really appreciate any help possible! Thanks!

Also, I forgot to mention that I'm pretty good at C programming and Arduino related programming in general, so it's going to be easy for me to make the wireless controls with Arduino I guess

It's not just a boring project based on the parts you have and even if you end up building it, wont run as well as a RTR truck or say a kit which you assemble. The electronics you have are nowhere near "high performance".

Um, I do have a custom build truck for sale and if you're interested and have a budget of 50k+, drop me a message on 8697468905

Building something right from scratch without knowing anything is not a good idea.
I would suggest you to first buy a basic level model and then learn how each and every part works. Try to disintegrate them depending on their functionality.

Since this is a car and so many parts are involved you need to have better understanding. This is not as simple as assembling a quadcopter.
If you are still interested and have a 3D printer the  you can search in thingverse where you will get very good collection of various models.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm pretty sure that these motors and ESCs should do the trick as I had used them in a quadcopter previously, it worked pretty well and I took the parts out after I got bored. I'd like to make an RC boat or something similar with 2 motors and want to use the other 2 in a car.

Thanks for the tip, but I do not have a 3d printer. I'm going to start learning about RC stuff in general from YouTube now I guess, as that's where I learnt how to make a quadcopter from.

Btw, is there any other way to get the case/shell of the car without a 3d printer? Because that's what everyone else seems to be doing, and I don't have access to one yet :/
