## What is ZenWheels RC Commander?

Plantraco's ZenWheels Micro Car enables you to enjoy the fun of driving a real miniature R/C car by remote control with a level of precision you will find almost impossible to believe!  

It's less than 1 inch tall, (it's soooo cute!), but it has a real rack and pinion steering system, working headlights with brights, signal lights, horn and sirens!. It even has a clever built-in timing system for keeping track of who's the best driver!   With Zen-like haptic controls on the free app, you can maneuver slowly and smoothly for precision parallel parking, and you can also drive fast enough to get you into heaps of trouble on the autocross course!  

It's so tiny, you'll want to take it with you all the time!  The included hard pack carrying case means you can be practicing your driving skills at a moments notice - anywhere, anytime!.  Driving this precision micro miniature mechanical marvel is easy to learn but challenging to master. 

A great place to enjoy driving can be at a restaurant, while you are waiting for your dinner,  you can set up a full autocross course on the table and be enjoying remote controlled driving fun without disturbing anyone else around you - the Micro Car is virtually silent!  But if you happen to like noise, the Micro Car can do that too.  Sometimes leaning on the horn a little bit can get rid of that road rage, or perhaps a police siren might be good to get some attention when you need to be served a fresh beverage!

Experience the wonder of driving the most precisely maneuverable R/C car ever on your desktop!

The app is FREE - and you can try it out right now to see how the controls work. Order your own ZenWheels Micro Car and you'll be able control it with super smooth precision.

### 1/5 — Twin Sticks Crashes on i7+

*2017-07-28*

Twin Stick still closes app on i7+ with new update 😪😩😪😩

### 5/5 — Yeah, 64-bit!

*2017-06-14*

Still one of my favorite R/C car.   Nice to know I can still use it with iOS 11.

### 5/5 — SOOOO BEAST MODE

*2016-02-06*

This tiny car is packed with complete AWESOMNESSSSS!!!!!!
This car is a fantastic little machine and can do so much! I highly recommend it and it's worth the money

### 5/5 — IT'S SO BOSS

*2014-12-25*

YAY I GOT IT FOR X MAS WORTH BUYING😜👍:)

### 5/5 — Great functionality

*2014-04-13*

While the car may be expensive compared to other phone-controlled toys, this app is a standout feature that kind of justifies the price. The ability to access all of the cars effects, and TO COMPLETELY REMAP ALL OFF THE CONTROLS be it pads, sliders, gyroscope axes, is fantastic. While the human sound effects are somewhat annoying, and the app could look a bit cleaner, it works great.

As far as the car goes, that is great too, all the light effects, sounds, and precision control are things you don't really find in toys this size. They do charge the $90 premium for this though. The car seems is not as robust as I would like, and the charging connected is finicky, but those are my only cons

### 5/5 — Zen cars

*2013-12-30*

I'm getting the zen wheels car SUV with trailer we'll worth the $89 for a hobby person  

$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$ $

they finally made it for iphone 5

### 2/5 — Great but!

*2013-12-14*

Great but very hard to steer...
If you could reverse the steering & make it that you steer with the left hand & accelerate with the right hand,i would rate this 5 stars..
As is,i cannot control the steering properly & will not play this until it changes the controls...

### 1/5 — Not worth $80. Trim FAIL. Rarely drives straight.

*2013-06-24*

For $80 this is a complete ripoff. I got it as a gift. Much appreciated but I do not recommend this. For starters, the car doesnt drive straight. There's a trim adjustment that helps a little but still, the car wont go straight for long. 

The lap counter/timer is nice but it would be nice if the app/car would keep record of distance traveled, let you create and name a timed event so it would keep best records. There's a lot more that could be done with the fusion of rc car and controller/app but for $80, this is WRONG.

### 3/5 — The car itself

*2013-06-19*

The car is defenitely not worth the 100$ it can't go up a like 35° slope and when turning at the max possible the wheels start to touch the plastic of the car and does not let the car turn overall not worth it

### 4/5 — Cockpits Control

*2013-05-29*

Please make all the lights buttons to be available in all cockpits control layout.  Thanks.
