MicroCARS: Diecast Cars Taught to Drive
RC Dynamics converts 1:32 diecast cars into Bluetooth-controlled RC machines steered with an Xbox controller.
Field notes
The conversion uses a custom 15 × 18 mm, 4-layer controller board built around an nRF52832 BLE system and a Fanstel BC832 radio. An Xbox Wireless Controller supplies steering and throttle, while seven lighting channels and nine LED pads handle the miniature vehicle’s effects. The page describes a 1S LiPo charged in place and a failsafe that parks the car after 2.5 seconds of silence. Finished cars and bare boards are presented as planned purchase options, with the product marked as coming soon.
