I received one Bluetooth car as a Valentine's day gift!
It is really very fun to play with, but it is very sensitive to dust and dirt.. After two days it couldnt move fast or turn properly, because its wheel axles had gathered dust and dirt..and it is a bit difficult to be cleaned...Does anyone know how to remove the front wheels in order to clean the axles from the dirt? |

I think its been discussed before not sure......I think you need to strip the car down completly and remove the circuit board to gain access to the front wheels.
Ill have a look at mine when I get back home.
Welcome to Esato by the way!

Because it defeats the whole point. Who wants to carry a massive controller around with them? With the BT car its small and the phone is the remote. Its also about technology & gadgets and having the latest. Its unique in the making.
P.S. In case anyone hasnt seen it I have a video on my web site on the BT Car-100

to be honest, who wants to carry around a fragile little car? if i had one it would probably break in my pocket. and you can now get remote control cars with tiny controllers, much smaller than the T630. so if thats ur thing, then why not save sum money and get a dedicted car. That was my point.
But i do like ur video of it on ur website

@craig - that video kicked ass! it makes me want one even more. they're still a little too expensive here though.
@red - i doubt those $15 cars can match the speed, range and performance of the car-100.

The BT Car 100 is expensive, but its not really a toy...its a novelty item...so if the price doesnt bother you...buy one and you will have fun.
The radio control cars are not the same, not as fun. |

@Craig to the B: Thank you very much! I am afraid though to remove the cicuit board, everything in the car seems so fragile and i dont want to ruin my new toy! I hope someone knows a more safe way to remove the front wheels.... |
