00:00I'm pretty proud of what I've done.
00:03I haven't seen anybody who done exactly the same thing.
00:06This car is fully remote-controlled.
00:18This is my 2006 Corvette C6.
00:22And it's a full-scale, remote-controlled car and I like it a lot.
00:27This is 34-year-old computer technician Bjorn Harms.
00:31He's built a full-sized, remote-controlled Corvette
00:34that wouldn't look out of place in the latest Bond film.
00:39My first idea of building a full-sized, remote-controlled car
00:44was by watching Back to the Future when I was a little kid.
00:48And I always had this idea of, man, when I'm older and I get my first car
00:52then I want to try to make my own full-scale, remote-controlled car.
00:56And that's what I did.
01:00The Corvette is road-legal and even my daily driver.
01:04Two years ago I bought a Corvette C6
01:08and I came up with this idea to make it full-scale, remote-controlled.
01:12So I had to make a universal motor controller
01:15so I could control different types of motors
01:19that I've attached to the controls of the car.
01:21I control the car with my four-channel transmitter.
01:24It controls the braking, the gear changing, the throttle and the steering.
01:30Building the universal motor controller took me around one year.
01:34Then it took me around three months to make a prototype system
01:39that was also safe enough to use.
02:06I also made a fail-safe system.
02:09So that means if the car gets out of range of my transmitter
02:12the brakes start braking automatically.
02:23The engine is a V8 6-liter.
02:25It has around 404 horsepower and the top speed is close to 300 kilometers an hour.
02:33Technically it could go that fast remotely but highly unwisely.
02:44The first time I drove the car I felt pretty scary
02:47because I was a little bit nervous on would it actually work properly.
02:54But after testing it, it worked better than I thought.
03:00Most people are very excited and they actually love the project.
03:05But there are also a lot of people that think it's crazy
03:07and of course a little bit dangerous.
03:12The entire RC process costs around 3,500 euros.
03:18Give or take.
03:19All the Corvette values right now is around 30,000 euros.
03:24Even with the remote control system.
03:26I would consider selling it but mainly so I can start another project again.
03:35I'm pretty sure there's no other Corvette in the world that controls like this one.
03:42I am very proud of what I have done.
03:44The reruns are rester чуть-ree zoals Brighton.
03:44I am too young, because ...
03:49It was just the way you could go in the building.
03:49Generally there's a couple just so long.
