Small-scale autonomous vehicle platforms provide a cost-effective environment for developing and testing advanced driving systems. However, specific configurations within this scale are underrepresented, limiting full awareness of their potential. This paper focuses on a one-sixth-scale setup, offering a high-level overview of its design, hardware and software integration, and typical challenges encountered during development. We discuss methods for addressing mechanical and electronic issues common to this scale and propose guidelines for improving reliability and performance. By sharing these insights, we aim to expand the utility of small-scale vehicles for testing autonomous driving algorithms and to encourage further research in this domain.
