Guys I have an RC car, that is I think this exact model, it can go around 50 km/hr. And it was very costly too. Even back then.

I used to have so much fun with this during my school days.

Unfortunately my brother hosed it down to "clean it".

IIRC, the car moves forward and back but doesn't turn.

If anyone knows about these chinese RC cars, you know all the parts can be purchased seperately, for repair.

I thought of fixing it recently, but the battery is no longer good, which itself is 1000s of rupees. So I can't say if it is still in working condition.

Can any electronics student or enthusiast in VIT vellore or Chennai campus help fix it?

If you do can someone actually measure the length of the keyboard? And the weight? And tell me?

Bcs I have a redragon Surara k582 full size keyboard, and according to this, the supposedly "compact keyboard" is taller (by approximately .5 inches) while being only 2 key length smaller than the full size.(I made a crude drawing. Sry)

It doesn't even come close to the 20% more compact claim with reference to my keyboard. I was looking forward to buying this and saving up, but when I looked at it one last time, I came across this... Whaaaat.

While the dimensions of the same keyboard, but different colours, are different in the redragon website. Also, in the same website, in the picture they put 15.4in (39.116cm) but below in the specifications, they put 43.2 cm(~17 in). So much confusion.

So please help me. If you do have this keyboard, please can you measure the size and weight for me please.

I have a great interest in Arduino and raspberry pi and did several projects using them during my BTech (Al and Robotics).

The cost of those are way costlier now, compared to back then. How are you guys doing pi/Arduino projects now? Especially considering the price increase?

Are you guys even doing any such hardware projects anymore? Bcs seeing these prices, I definitely won't... Genuinely asking guys, not trying to brag or anything.

At least Arduino prices are relatively same (for the ek versions)...
