Its not an issue if it has bluetooth or not, its whether the firmware in the phone has the ability to control the car once its been paired, and only  phones have that capability in their firmware

Another problem using a non-SE phone, you won't be able to charge the car!
Mattyv; Nice modification! I was expecting some minor changes rather than a completely different car, you should stick a bluetooth sticker on it somewhere

Where can I get a bluetooth sticker from? I also want to extract the sony ericsson logo from the old body and put it on the new one.
To all, I have recently purchased a new battery which should have about twice the amperage of the current battery. This will only mean that it can last longer, not that it will make the car faster, but, there is the ability to put two batteries in series and increase the speed.
toyeast.com is a good source for motors, bodies and batteries. They are cheap too, but the shipping is kind of expensive.

Do any of you know the stock specs of CAR-100?
Could I just go to my radioshack and buy those zipzap motors, and they'd work? |

Yes you can....that's exactly the point. SE gave us a car that can easily be modified. TO learn what you can do with the cars go to www.microrccars.com and go straight to the forums for zip zaps.
There is a ton of things you can do! |

SE also released a program for the P800 so we can now control it using the P800 |

Oh Dear... problems have struck my car.. so contacting Roadside assistance (E.g. Esato forum etc.).
Problem is that the steering is playing up. the car tries to steer but seems to be a little stuck. If you nudge it it will move and stay as requested until you let go of key and then return to straight.
it feels like the car has lost the ability to get the steering to start?
Anyones got any clues where/why it might be getting stuck ?
Is it easy to strip down the front end to find out why and where the problem might be ?
