Remote Controlled C6 - Full Size

Really pretty amazing what this guy has done with his C6 that can be controlled with an RC Controller or get in and drive it normally.

Actually, I used to fly radio controlled model airplanes when I was a kid and we had lots of problems with frequency interference on Citizens Band. Maybe that has been resolved now, but back in the day someone with a garage door opener could crash your plane.

Remote controls are digital these days, not analog. The controller pairs to your car or plane like bluetooth, and no other device can control it. So you don't have to worry about CB radios interfering with your car or plane.

Really? What technology are they using to broadcast that signal from hundreds of feet away?

just a hobby
The RC world is getting better all the time, it has become much more reliable. We use a Frequency hopping spread spectrum radio that has telemetry so we can have feed back on many on board sensors like speed, altitude , voltage for receiver and electric motor battery packs, or just about any other information you would need.It is a very enjoyable hobby.

Different manufactures use different protocols for r/c control. Futaba, uses Spread Spectrum Technology on 2.4Ghz. The frequency shifts 100 times a second, and each drone has a unique Radio Frequency ID (RFID), so you can fly over 100 drones at the same time without them interfering with each other.
There are technologies for ground devices, and one for aerial.

That's what I thought; either of these frequencies can be hit with interference. They can also be hacked very easily, so my initial statement stands.

ED, the military help develop the spread spectrum for communication so that it could not be hacked. so the full sized car that is rc has a transmitter and a receiver that are paired by a code so other rc transmitters don't interfere ,they only talk to one receiver . this is some what older technology so I am sure someone could hack it .

Unless a guy on the same channel turns his radio on within 100 feet of you and you crash

Just like my Corvette key FOB can't start your car. The frequencies each FOB uses are all exactly the same. It's the encoding within the frequencies that are unique for each vehicle.
