Can you buy a controller that either jams or takes control of r/c cars - preferably those petrol/nitro ones? I want to hijack the nextdoors car next time he brings it out onto the close.

Any ideas or suggestions? Cheers

If you can find out what frequency they're using, you're laughing if you have your own transmitter.

find out which frequency (crystal) his transmitter is on and then get a crystal to match it and put it in a controller and that should do it

OK so how do I find the frequency? Will it be stamped on the back of the vehicle and/or transmitter?

What if I cant find the exact frequency?

On the transmitter the "crystal" is usally put in the bottom right hand corner (was when i was into r/c cars anyway). They usually have the frequency written on them.

as an RC geek myself, I think thats a bit dangerous. You can't predict what will happen when you swicth on your transmitter. The worse caes is the car shoots off the close and onto the main road. How would you like it if you were driving along minding your own business and something flies out of a side road at 40+, worse what if someone swerves to avoid it and mounts the pavement etc.....

more than likely the car will stuff itself into the nearest kerb, these things are expensive to repair, so he will soon get fed up of it costing him money every time he gives it a blast.

Have you asked this lad or is parents if he will stop?

If you have and you are getting no joy report him to the police, after all it is noise pollution.

The kids wear the pants in our close - so theres no chance of his parents telling him to stop using it.

Stuffing it into the nearest kerb at 40+ is exactly the plan!

There are no main roads anywhere near where we live - it is very quiet - hence the need to destroy the little sh**s r/c car

Incidentally what is the law on noise pollution when it comes to r/c cars and the like?

Rather than stuffing it in the kerb is there no way I can just JAM the signal to make it inoperable?

why not get your car out and drive up and down the road when he has his out - might "accidently" run over it - well shouldn't be on a road should it :-))

Ru$$Rip

lol - I have tried that but to no avail....

There must be another way.................

try:

other than that you would need to get the transmitter off him and physically check to see his frequency.

i used to find the old A.M C.B radios used to screw to signal up

DanTheMan

Yup, CB Radios transmit on 27MHz FM legally or AM (erm a bit naughty) and should do the job

pay some other local "toe rag" to steal the car of the kid.
