Hot Wheels: Rift Rally brings your Hot Wheels collection to life.

Mixed reality experiences are becoming more popular and accessible. It is an exciting time where fandom, collecting, and technology are coming together in ways never before possible. Velan Studios and Mattel have joined forces to bring one of those experiences to life with our beloved Hot Wheels collection with Hot Wheels: Rift Rally. With this mixed reality experience, players/collectors are able to bring just about their entire Hot Wheels car collection to life in the real world through the aptly named “Chameleon” remote-controlled car.

Players choose their car and the Chameleon adapts its properties stats and even its look via augmented reality.

There are 3 key components to the experience. The car, the Chameleon, the track, and the actual game itself, Hot Wheels: Rift Rally. The way I did it, is I set up my track, via the pylons provided, then loaded up the game, connected the Chameleon, then loaded up a car, and drove through the pylons to program the track into the game. Now For all levels and game modes, the track is set. So all levels and game modes will be programmed to that track and setup until you decide you want to change it up. It sounds complicated, but the setup guide is very intuitive and after the first attempt it becomes second nature.

Hot Wheels: Rift Rally’s Chameleon

I’ve had a few remote control cars in my day. The Tantrum and Sidewinder are particular favorites, something about a car that can’t be flipped over. But the Chameleon outclasses those cars in every way. It’s faster, the battery lasts way longer, and it is far more intuitive to operate. It’s great when you have a turbo button at actually makes the car go

REVIEW – As an 80’s child I can’t help but be a little jealous of the toys on the market now. Especially any toys that require batteries since battery technology has improved so much since then. So when the Bezgar HP161S Brushless 1:16 Scale Radio Control Car came up for review the little kid in me said I had to try it out. Let’s see how much RC car technology has improved since 1989.

The modder’s name is Stan Dmitriev, and he is the CMO and co-founder of SurrogateTV. According to his Twitter bio, he’s into robotics, chess, and esports. He is also a talented SBC enthusiast, as his latest project demonstrates once again.

Dmitriev also worked a GoPro and capture card into his project, though notes users can employ a Raspberry Pi camera module or webcam instead.

“The setup runs via a website called Surrogate.tv and uses its open-source Python SDK. There’s a premade game template for an RC Car setup, so you don’t even need to code to replicate the setup,” Dmitriev explains.

What is especially neat about this mod is being able to control the RC car through the web, with a pretty fast response time. According to Dmitriev, there is about a 200ms delay. That might be disastrous for gaming, but as he demonstrates in the video, it works really well with the RC car, which he can

Want to drive the Hoonicorn? Well now you can!

RC cars are already a lot of fun, but Kobotix has upped the ante with the Real Racer FPV car. Combined with an app that enables recording video, taking photos, and even streaming, it’s a fun way to experience RC racing around a house or office. Priced at $150, is the Kobotix Real Racer a must-have RC toy? Be sure to hit the video below to find out.

Kobotix Real Racer: What’s included? 

Besides a smartphone, everything else you need for FPV driving is included in the package. The Real Racer comes with the car, a removable battery, a pistol grip controller, and an FPV headset. 

The FPV driving mode can be enabled from the Real Racer app on an Android or iOS smartphone. Through the app, the phone will connect to a Wi-Fi signal from the car to send the low-latency video signal. 

Additionally, the app gives some control over how the car behaves. There is a gyro mode that will help assist steering to prevent spin-outs, but I found myself preferring the normal driving mode after spending more time driving the Real Racer.

Kobotix Real Racer: Controller overview

Taking a look at the controller, it has the common design of a pistol grip with the accelerator controlled with the index finger and a wheel on the side that controls the steering angle. 

On the top and sides of the controller are even more dials and buttons for controlling top speed, steering trim if it feels like it is pulling to one side, max steering angle, and even taking pictures or recording videos. These are great additions to have at your fingertips on the controller for on-the-fly adjustments.

For many, going to a grocery store or ordering food delivery is a daily chore, but one man decided to take things up a notch with a clever set-up. Kael Schorelin (@the_blue_car) sent his remote-controlled car out on an errand to procure shark food in a viral TikTok video. Equipping his FPVRC car with a 360-degree camera, Schorelin recorded the car’s journey from his house to Petco.

In the video, the car arrives at Petco, catching the attention of a befuddled employee who says, “Hi, there’s a camera on that!” and excitedly adds, “He nodded his head!” The employee leans in and checks the back of the remote car with a note that reads, “Glow shark food, please.”

Spending all day assisting customers at a humdrum department store is tedious, but stumbling onto something extraordinary, such as a remote control car approaching you to buy fish food, can brighten your day. The little car then follows the amused employee to make the necessary purchase.

She grabs a bottle of shark food and says, “Can you open it, so I can see how much cash you got?” From there, the transaction becomes smooth sailing. While the billing is done, the coffee shop workers tell the remote control car, “Please come back and do this more! It made my day.” The total was six bucks, and the employee took out the required cash from the box on top of the car and exchanged it for a shark food bottle and the bill.

Once the food and change were both back in the basket, the

KHLOE Kardashian has been slammed by fans for having a garage for her daughter’s toy car and scooter collection.

In a resurfaced clip from KUWTK, Khloe is seen bringing in organizers to help straighten up the garage.

“This is a plethora of True’s automobiles,” the reality star said in a video posted to Tiktok.

The Home Edit ladies shouted an enthusiastic, “yes!’ and nodded their heads.

“This is a little mish-moshy. I just don’t know….. like how to make it look nicer,” she said.

The women are then seen rearranging the cars, laying down blush pink tape, and adding cones to make the “parking garage” look the best it can be.

When the organizers are finished, Khloe walks back into the garage.

“Oh… my…. God!” she exclaims.

The video then shows all of the cars in their own make-shift parking spot, made out of tape, and the scooters lined up against the wall.

Fans took to the comments and wonder why a 4-year-old needed that many cars and a garage for them.

“I know they have the money but why so many cars Maybe a few but this is crazy,” commented one fan.

“Rich people problems!” said another.

“I bet True doesn’t even use the cars lmao,” added a third.

Many other fans commented that Khloe should definitely donate some of them.

“Nah this is a complete waste. Rich people consume so much it’s crazy. All that for 1 kid who’s gonna grow out of them and 100% they’re not gonna reuse,” commented a Tiktok user.

Other commenters said they didn’t even see a difference in the garage

Mattel’s Hot Wheels has been, and continues to be a successful toy franchise of cars and accessories that most little boys enjoy playing with. But to attain the status of the “big boy” toy, or one of the ‘best rc toys’, Hot Wheels has to offer even more…as in being able to actually MAKE the Hot Wheels car. They have to compete with the best RC cars for kids after all. So say hello to running your own assembly line with the Hot Wheels Car Maker Play-set.

The Car Maker Playset is over a foot tall, designed to resemble a futuristic 2 story “garage” and its handle at the top reminiscent of the legendary Vac-U-Form. However, unlike that device, the Car Maker Playset is safe to the touch, even when the electric powered “oven” is melting the stick of wax that becomes the body of a car. And since everything is digital now, there’s no surprise that light and sound effects and even voice prompts accompany the entire process, making it not only safe but near impossible to do wrong. For preschoolers, one of the most engaging toys that provides games that revolve around an education subject is the one described in the Fisher price code n learn kinderbot robot toy review.

So having unpacked the Car Maker, I stood it on a table and plugged it into a wall outlet.  A disc on the front immediately lit up, the front-mounted door popped open and a digital male voice told me to insert a mold. Not ready to do all that, I searched in vain for an “Off” button and had to settle with
