Dension announces iPhone controlled RC car and conversion kit

Okay, there are plenty of radio controlled cars, helicopters and AR drones that you can pilot with your iPhone already on the market – but now Dension's WIRC receiver has arrived, letting you take control of any RC car with your iPhone.

Slotting the Wi-Fi-enabled receiver in to an existing RC car will enable you to drive it around courtesy of a free app (available here), which features virtual on-screen joysticks and gyroscopic controls. The WIRC receiver also comes with a mountable camera, so you can terrorize your neighbour's cat from a safe, first-person perspective.

The receiver can be picked up for €130 or a SmartRacer RC car with a built-in receiver can be had for €200. Godspeed, noble racer.
