Tamiya recently teamed up with Takara to produce a set of 30th anniversary Tamiya Q-Steer remote controlled cars. These 1:10 remote controlled cars are unique because they use the innovative Q-Steer technology to operate. Q-Steer uses infrared technology instead of the traditional radio control for the communication between the remote and the car.
The Q-Steer remote controller features a basic six-point movement pad and as well as several other buttons that control functions such as power and what infrared channel the remote is using. Since these Q-Steer cars operate on infrared technology they can also be controlled by certain cell phone models and by the Sony PlayStation Portable. If you are looking to get something different and distinctive consider a Tamiya Q-Steer remote controlled car.
