Hi everyone, A lot of you have asked us whether we are going to offer backers the opportunity to add to their current rewards, so we have been organising a way that we can handle upgrades, add-ons, and credits from over-pledges. We are going to use... (Read More)

Hi everyone, We don't want to inundate you with updates, but there are a few significant bits of news we would like to share.  Here is the first... In response to your requests, we have just updated the Real FX project page with some more videos.... (Read More)

Hi everyone, As we mentioned in comments on our Kickstarter page, we have been fine tuning both the code in the cars, and the track print. The results are exciting! The cars now have even more responsive steering, and can easily steer fully across... (Read More)

For many, no childhood was complete without either a quality remote-controlled car or a bulky, customizable slot car track. The thrill of speed and navigating twists and turns was irresistible to so many children, but the technology has done little to advance into the 21st century. (Read More)

Wow! You have funded our project, and we are unbelievably excited! You hear stories about crowd funding, but I don't think anyone can comprehend the undulating waves of stress, emotion, exhilaration & exasperation that it entails until they are... (Read More)

If backing Real FX to the pledge levels that reward you with a full working set of Real FX is a bit of a stretch (or you love it so much you would like to give a little more) you can help support the campaign, and keep your things handy while you... (Read More)

Hi Everyone, Well, its been a busy week! The trip to NY for CE Week certainly helped raise the profile of Real FX, and back in the UK the press started taking notice as well. At the end of my first day in NY, we had just passed the 50% funding... (Read More)

Hi everyone. So much has happened in the last 3 days, and I'm looking forward to putting it all in an update for you this weekend. In the meantime, take a look at what this gentleman thought of Real FX when he got a chance to play with it. You may... (Read More)

No sooner have we seen one Scalextric replacement system than another turns up. Real FX Racing, on the face of it, has a similar premise to Anki Drive, which Pocket-lint played with during our Tech Tavern event in honour of London Technology Week. (Read More)

Only a few days ago we were asking all of you to help us get past 30% funding... It worked! So now we are halfway there, and momentum is building. Help us keep it going please :-) Apologies for a small delay in dealing with some comments and... (Read More)

They took the best parts of R/C cars and slot cars and made a game out of it. (Read More)

Sure, Anki Drive put robotic toy cars on the map, but it's not ideal -- not everyone can justify giving their kids iOS devices just to steer plastic vehicles.

You don't have to settle for fixed course designs, either, since you can build them piece-by-piece. (Read More)

We are going to be showing off our prototypes and giving the tech press the opportunity to put Real FX through its paces at CE Week NY, 25 - 26 June. If any of you are going to be there, drop by, say hi and let's have a race! And if any of you know... (Read More)
