    Don't get too caught up trying to keep the size small. At your age, you are undertaking a lot already, so you will run into plenty of other frustrations.

    If it is going inside a toy car, consider cutting off the top of the car, or even the entire upper body. Besides, it is good to show off that the item is not just a stock toy, but has been substantially modified. If you, or others, know 3D modeling, and
    you have access to a 3D printer at school, you might take advantage of it, and create a custom enclosure for your electrics.

    I think you just insulted the OP. No matter how old Christopher was in
    1997, I am pretty sure today he won't take kindly to being told he is
    taking on a lot for his age.
