The driver is pretty large (compared to other drivers that we could have used). So we should plan on how to position it on the car, where exactly and how to keep it there. Glue might be one solution

TL. DR.
Most Remote Control cars have enough space in the body of the car. Somewhere on the inside. Look and think where exactly to place the driver. It is not a problem to place it on the roof, but more beautiful solutions might be possible.
In the case of one of the cars that we've used here is how we placed the driver:
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
Perfect STEM course. Module 1 - Smart Car with Raspberry PI
Disassemble a remote control car. Change the brain of the car with a smart computer like Raspberry Pi. Build a smart device with artificial intelligence that you could control from your phone and that could freely navigate itself in the real world and on the Internet. Use your hands. Develop programs for your robot and your phone. Be curious and invent.
The perfect course lives up to its name. You move through the content, we check it and return feedback to you.
In the end, you should be able to better understand how to program and design smart devices that would make the world a better place. For everybody age 12+, 16+, 21+, 35+, etc. The hardware costs about 150$. It changes through the years so it might take some time for you to find it as Raspberry PI, motor drivers, power banks and h-bridges.. they change. Note that the course was designed to be led by a teacher with a decent knowledge in embedded hardware and software. This, on the other hand should not stop you, if you are curious.
