Remote Control Solar Car

Have fun in the sun with this RC Solar Car! This chunky little car by Thumbs Up is proof that the RC world has finally caught up with the green movement. Instead of being powered by electricity or expensive to replace batteries it’s cleverly designed to run on sunshine! Yes there’s a solar panel set into the car’s rooftop that charges its built in rechargeable battery and in turn powers the car. So as well as being a great way to learn about renewable energy you’ll never need to pay out for pricey packs of replacement batteries again! But what’s really innovative about the Solar Car is that its controller is charged by the sun too. Just plug it into the jack on the back bumper and it’ll charge up via the rooftop solar panel just like the car itself does! Plus charging aside it’s a really neat way to store the control pad when the car’s not in use. Wondering what to do with your Solar Car on a cloudy day Well because we appreciate that British weather is predictably unpredictable it comes with its very own USB charging cable too. Simply connect it to the underside of the car and plug it into the mains for an old school power boost whenever the sun’s in hiding.
