Hi all,

We are new to the RC car market(previously heli), and here we proudly present our first product in the RC car field.

Please give us feedback so that we can provide better products.
Thanks

Wow, looks amazingly small! What is required on the phone/tablet to control the car? Bluetooth? Radio? Infrared?

I saw bluetooth in video.

Like its open platform.

Question. Does it have analog steering? As in not just on/off.

Ming-GZ

There is a on-board servo~ although it is not a digital one, its not a on/off for sure!

It supports bluetooth SPP connection, that means Android, Symbian, WM, jailbroken iphone will be able to connect with it. But currently only 1 android app available. We will open the protocol platform as soon as everything is fixed.

Are those other cars you have shown in some of the shots just models or are they future body choices?

Will you release the API for windows/mac or linux as well? As per you need the charger on a usb as it is, I would love to plug in a joystick into my laptop and control it via its bluetooth.

Looks great, do you have a price point in mind?

So the servo isn't on/off, but could you give us an idea of it's resolution in steps?

I love the idea of being able to record/playback a run, or perhaps hook up to a webcam and have a PC drive it via AI

I would love to see a picture of it next to a dnano or other 1/43 for an idea of scale size. The video says 1/60, but it's also a cooper which is a particularly small car already.

Just answered my own questions:

$372 HKD (~$50 USD), 200 steps of steering resolution.

Looks like a great value.

For the Body, we are doing the same way we make heli: compatible with main stream products.

So, we make the chassis only, and the one you see in the video is made by JFS. and the chassis will be compatible with most Rastars 1/58-68 RC cars. they include BMW X5, Pajero, Benz etc.

the stand alone chassis will be available later. And I am sure there will be many other bodies available.

The API is a bluetooth SPP. It will be connected to Android via RFCOMM. ofcourse, it can be connected to PC if your donge support SPP (I think most support it).

As I know, one of our partner Delicious Computers is developing the program controller. which is like the 80's LOGO language. Forward, right turn, Lights on etc and you can have a playback function.

We are expecting more app developer will join and making some funny games. such as shaking the phone to make it run. This will be a funny race other than traditional expert! maybe your son will beat you
