What is a remote-controlled (RC) picture car?
Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars
A remote-controlled (RC) picture car is a full-size or scale vehicle modified with a radio-controlled drive-by-wire system that allows it to be operated from a safe distance without a driver inside.
RC cars are used for high-risk stunt gags, crash sequences, fire scenes, or other scenarios where having a driver would be unsafe or impossible. The RC system is engineered and operated by the stunt coordinator or a specialist technician, and the vehicle must be tested extensively before performing the gag on camera.
