rc car with camera Page 3

Looking to spy on your neighbours or just make your RC car the James Bond of the playground? An RC car with a camera is your go-to gadget. These nifty toys often feature a HD or VGA camera mounted on the chassis, allowing you to stream live video directly to your smartphone or controller. Prices range from about $50 to $300 AUD, depending on camera quality and car performance, with used models available on sites like Tradingpost or CarShowroom for less.

Keep in mind, battery life tends to be the Achilles’ heel here—expect about 15 to 30 minutes of fun before you need a recharge. Also, camera resolution and transmission range vary wildly, so choose wisely if you want more than just blurry footage.
