Someone at my college saw me driving my savage last year and asked if I built it myself and if I want to join the RC baja team. I was already involved with many projects at the time so I had to decline, though I did end up doing a little consulting at the end. (they made a terrible design...don't know if you saw the Montana Tech car last year? laughable.)
But they gave it a go with minimal effort I feel.

Good luck! Should be a fun project if your team puts the time into it!
