I had the thing mostly together, it was beautiful, but I have a small problem. The oversized motor turns the wheels nicely with penty of torque (hard-wired to 2.4V). The problem it that the relay used to switch the motor is only half triggered. I can hear it click when I move the trigger on the remote. But the normally-open part of the relay doesn't close with the current of the LED connector. I used the relay with the lowest triggering current that I could find at RadioShack. I need one just slightly smaller that what I have.

The relay needs 3.5V at 89.3mA

Im trying a large FET that I have in place of the relay, but I can't get it to work either.

Any ideas? The LED connector puts off 2.4V
