The are many lot cost RC cars with lots of features like the LED headlights and underglow lights. However, the remote controller came with the car cannot control lights and motors individually. With mobile App and Arduino board, we can convert these ordinary RC Cars to a more advanced bluetooth control toys.
We are using an Arduino Compatible board with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), so that it works with both iOS and Android phone.

We picked a Fast Lane 1:24 RC Car. This car is prefect for this project, as it has all features that we are looking for, such as headlight and underglow LEDs with enough room to put our board inside.
After taking it apart, identify the wires for LEDs and motors. The desoldering them off the board and replace them with Arduino board and motor drive module.
In this step, solder the steering motor to "MOTO A" and back motor to "MOTO B" on the motor driver module. Solder jumper wires to headlight & under-glow LEDs on both +ve & -ve side.
