Woah, more goods are in (hacked after 2 minutes)

What's the first thing an engineer does when he buys new devices? Open 'em up! We're no different; we just received the remote controlled FPV cars, they're made to be controlled using one of those traditional ordinairy human interface RC-car controllers.
