[Jonas] bought an electric Mercedes “ride on” toy for his one-year-old son. At least that’s his story. However, the vehicle has become a target for dad’s obsession with hacking and he’s already done quite a few upgrades. Even better, he did quite a bit of analysis on what’s already there. He isn’t done, but he’s promised quite a bit in the next installment which isn’t out yet.
The original car can take a driver or it can use remote control. [Jonas] has an ambitious list of ideas, some of which are still not complete:
- Speed along with softer acceleration and braking
- Improve the radio controller
- Proper rubber tires
- Proper stereo system
- Individual brake disks on the front wheels
- Improved horn
- Proper seat belt or maybe even a new seat
