Hi

Anyone ever tried to rig up a bluetooth receiver to an rc car and make it work? Would it be hard to do? Assuming I had someone to make an app to control it, I'd just need the bits to pair it with?

Cheers

IIRC blue tooth is only good for about 100ft? WiFi is far more realistic.

I don't see either option as being feasible, actuating servos in real time would require very, very fast polling of whatever app/os you're using.

I've found a really cool simple (as far as it goes compared to your link!) rc car using 2 motors which seems to do exactly what I want. It has the coding for it using an android device but I'd also want it for iPhone... Would the coding be a simple conversion to iOS?! Also uses arduino boards
