Driving an RC car over 60mph using my racing simulator (4G)

Check out one of my summer projects this year. I outfitted this giant RC car with my own electronics and software that allow for full traction control and RPM based ABS. Not only that, but it's controlled via the Internet using my racing simulator or an Xbox controller and phone app. It features full disc brakes, fluid filled shocks, limited slip diffs, AWD, adjustable alignment, custom 3d printed control arms, and a top speed of 77mph. A massive amount of RND went into making it drivable over 4G LTE. This means it can be driven remotely from anywhere in the world with cell service. Enjoy this video of me driving it around my neighborhood and a makeshift middle school parking lot "racetrack" 🏁

It would be so funny to have two of these setup and have a friend with a cop car and do a chase. I'd love to see people's reaction to a mini car chase coming out of nowhere.

This is the kind of thing we as kids in the 80s dreamt of. Just awesome to see it had become reality.

Imagine a E-sports league like this? On actual race tracks. This has so much potential, keep pushing it man!

The relatively low input delay is the most impressive part.

bro's really out here making blind turns with active traffic

This is the stuff I used to dream and fantasize about growing up in the late 80's/early 90's.. I wanted a camera mounted RC helicopter or plane actually, but I would have been stoked with a PoV RC car.. 30 years later, we got private drones with cameras and the rest became history.. cool setup, I'm still jelly even 30+ years later..

Mounting cameras on each the side of the car ( displaying on your side monitors ) or mounting the front camera on a gimbal (2-3 axis) would have made the intersection less scary.

There should be a racing league with this setup.

I'm a big rc guy myself. I do cars, trucks, planes, jets, helicopters, all of the above. I gotta say, this is an RC Dream and is absolutely one of the Coolest things I've seen. Great job driving. That was Totally Awesome!!!!

Mans put his plates, house, and neighborhood all in one video. BOLD.

I would love this to be developed into an actual racing series. POV scale cars, sort out the frame rate and POV so you can see what’s next to you. Like racing drones, but on the ground. So cool.

I love the internet because you can get a glimpse of things you'd otherwise NEVER knew existed, like this. What a badass piece of work!! Awesome vid.

I think the connection latency might be an issue for emergency braking in case of vehicles appearing which you might crash into.

Very impressive radio range/penetration with all the obstructions.

Bro really went outside without going outside.

[doctaj.]

Dude... I'm not kidding.. I think this is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. Awesome setup.

You should do an of road vehicle next.

This is the kind of thing that makes me so happy to be alive at this point in the development of technology.

Holy moly, I've wanted something like this since I was a kid. My dad and I built a gas powered RC car and drove it all over the place back in the 2000's. I always wanted to remotely control it with a cam from my computer and here you are with my dream set up. Well done. You should bring your friend a soda with it, lol.

this is definitely be something huge in the future I could only imagine all the tracks people will build for competition

[diedforurwins]

Just some ideas: I think setting the rotation of the wheel much lower + enabling a strong centre spring to simulate some kind of ffb would help a lot with controllability.

Also putting a much wider angle lens on the live feed camera would be sick.

I'm a father of three and we love RC's, and to see this just makes our eyes light up this is just out of this world amazing Good job on that!! this is totally worth watching 😊
