Kobotix Real Racer - Remote Control Car with Camera – HD First Person View Video Feed – FPV RC Car, On-Board Gyroscope, Included Controller and Headset, 1/28 Scale, App Controlled, Fast RC Car (Red)

I read about the new Meta Quest support for the Real Racer product and being a VR enthusiast, wanted to give it a try. The premise is really interesting - basically you have this little remote control car that you can drive around your home in the physical world, but you do this from within a virtual cockpit seen from the Meta Quest VR headset. It’s the only product I’m aware of that combines the physical and virtual worlds in such an interesting way. When you put on the Quest headset and fire up the Real Racer XR app, you’re transported into the race car cockpit. The detailing is really impressive, and there are various controls on the virtual dashboard that respond to actual real world driving conditions (tachometer, G-force gauge etc). The windscreen of the virtual cockpit shows the real-time video feed broadcast from the remote control car, so as you’re driving around you see everything from the perspective of the car. The best part is that you control the actual RC car in the physical world using the virtual steering wheel, which you grasp and rotate using the Quest controllers. It’s incredibly immersive, giving you the feeling that you’re really sitting in the bucket seat of this RC car, racing around your living room. Highly recommended for both kids and adults, especially those with a Meta Quest headset, as that’s how you’ll get the best experience with this product.

Después de 2 días de haber llegado y mientras estaba en uso se le salió una rueda delantera, cuando lo revisamos nos dimos cuenta que estaba roto un perno de plástico que es donde entra el tornillo que sostiene la rueda.

The car looks great and was really easy and quick to set up. The app gives you step by step instructions and connects to car with ease. The camera is super clear, enabling you to navigate your route with ease. The car has different speed settings which is great to help you get to grips with the controls which I have to say are some of the best I've used in to remote control cars. Overall, a fantastic value for money buy for both me and the kids! Highly recommend!

I recently purchased the Kobotix Real Racer, and it has been a blast to use. Whether using the VR feature or not, the racing experience is fresh and exciting. Being able to sit "inside" your racer through the VR headset offers a new take on RC racing. Since VR isn't recommended for kids 12 or 13 and under, my son only played with it for a short while, which meant I got to enjoy it even more (I mainly bought it for myself anyway!). The Quest addition is a nice feature if you already own a VR headset, but if you don't, no worries— a case that turns your phone into a VR headset is included. I'm not a fan of strapping my cell phone to my face for long periods, so I turn off my cellular data before playing. With short bursts of use, it works out well. The packaging was top-notch, and the racer itself is pretty quick. It doesn't run well on thick carpet, so be aware that you'll need tile or wood for the best play experience. I wish it had a 3D camera setup to establish depth in the VR experience, but hopefully, that's something for a future update. Overall, this was a fun addition to the many toys, racers, and collectibles I already own and enjoy.

What a great car! Works really well and is such a clever idea. Would highly recommend this toy for your children. ****
