That's very cool, and I'm surprised RC cars aren't being used in more Arduino projects. I wish it actually was a detailed post, because I'd love to learn more about the Arduino setup in there -- if he's using the Motor shield, how the batteries are hooked up, etc. And how much did the materials cost -- xbee radios are around $100 each I believe...

I just left a comment there. Perhaps the authors will follow-up with an even more detailed post.

Yeah, more RC anything on arduino projects would be awesome. Be it a car, helicopter, tank...... ;) hehe

xbee radios are ~20$ although there are some more expensive ones if you need 40 mile range.

The only ones I've been able to find are around $100~$300.

Some kits may be over the $100 mark, but individual radios are usually in the $20-$30 mark.
