Infrared Tracker Remote Control Car follows the light

by Mark R in Remote Control, Remote Control Toys, Toys


I’m not really in to remote control cars, and I find the controls complicated. Some of them have two joysticks with one for speed and one for direction, but they take a little work before the user gets used to them.

If you really want to simplify this controlling process, you should probably check out the Infrared Tracker Remote Control Car. All you need to do is take the controller and point it where you want to go.

The controller has some sort of laser pointer, and the car will move wherever the little point of light is going. I’m not certain how this tech works, but it has something to do with the infrared tracker can sense the laser and go to it.

I have heard that the range on this product isn’t that far, only about five feet. You should be able to purchase it for $50.

Of course, I have something that is a lot less expensive and has a higher range: a cat and a laser pointer. Yeah, baby! I swear, now that is a lot of fun. That Infrared Tracker Remote Control Car just can’t compete with a cat bent on catching a red light that the tabby can never keep.
