The Infrared tracker RC car is different from other remote controlled cars that you’ve been used to.
Instead of having the the controller to direct the car where it should head or turn to, this RC car needs to chase the visible Infra red dot that you project on the ground using the included remote. Controlling this car is just like driving it crazy, the poor RC car has to chase the moving Infra red dot until it gets completely drained out.
The car can sense the projected Infrared dot as far as 5 feet away. Once it’s detected the red dot, it will keep chasing until it’s exhausted with its battery. It’s powered by a 7.2V rechargeable battery, which can last for only 20 minutes or may last much shorter if you’re the expert who knows how to kill it as soon as possible.
