I'm pretty proud of what I've done

I haven't seen anybody who done exactly the same thing. As far as fully, we won't control

This is my 2006 Corvette C6 and it's a full-scale remote control car and I like it a lot

This is 34-year-old computer technician Bjorn Harms. He's built a full-sized remote control corvette that wouldn't look out a place in the latest Bond film

My first idea of building a full remote control car was by watching Back to the Future when I was a little kid And I always had this idea of man when I older and I get my first car then I want to try to make my own full remote control car
1:07
And that's what I did. The Corvette is road legal and even my daily driver
1:16
Two years ago, I bought a Corvette, C6, and I came up with this idea to make it full-scale remote control
1:24
So I had to make a universal... to make a universal motor controller so I could control different types of motors
1:30
that I've attached to the controls of the car. I control the car with my four-channel transmitter
1:36
It controls the braking, the gear changing, the throttle and the searing
1:41
Building the universal motor controller took me around one year, then it took me around three months
1:48
to make a prototype system, and it took me another three months to make a system
1:52
that was also safe enough to use. We have Bof Mm I also made a fail system So that means if the car gets out of range of my transmitter the brakes starts braking automatically automatically
2:27
The engine is a V86 liter. It has around 404 horsepower and the top speed is close to 300 kilometers an hour
2:43
Technically it could go that fast remotely, but highly unwisely. The first time I drove the car I felt pretty scary because I was a little bit nervous on would it actually work properly So but after testing it it worked better than I thought
3:11
Most people are very excited and they actually love the project, but there are also a lot of people that think it's crazy and, of course, a little bit dangerous
3:20
The entire RC process cost around 3,500 euros. 500 euros, give or take
3:30
All the Corvette values right now is around 30,000 euros, even with the remote control system
3:38
I would consider selling it, but mainly so I can start another project again
3:47
I'm pretty sure there's no other cavet in the world that controls like this one
3:54
I am very proud of what I have done
