Is it possible to control a large(full-sized) car with a remote control?
And if so, how?

making large cars operate under remote control is relatively simple.

however, turning the car over to put the batteries in underneath is a bit more complex.

f2thak, I saw that video as well. But I'm talking about a real car, and not necessarily with an n900.

Just point your N900 on the cars front and press the following buttons together: shift, ctrl and x. This will open the magical window to another world, called the "X Terminal". Now you must be very carefull. In absolute silence type in the following three magical words: "car move now"
Maybe your car will now move, maybe not...

edit: now serious...
I don't think there is a easy way to control a real car. With major modifications it is possible, but not for small money..

did you took care, that you were in absolute silence? this part is very important, because the N900 have to concentrate...
