Has anyone come up with a radio control transmitter and receiver similar in
style and use as the discontinued HiTechnic products? I had planned to
purchase some HiTechnic parts for my models, but as they have been
dicontinued, I have no idea what to use instead or what to make that will
work. I have considered taking the steering box and everything else (wires,
etc.) from a radio controlled car, and connecting a Lego 9v motor (or a
couple motors), or even just converting the RC motor to drive Lego gears.
Essentially, I will make a custom radio controlled car out of Lego. Does
anyone else have ideas, plans, or even radio transmitters and recievers that
work with Lego motors?

Personally I use servos connected either to pneumatic switches or polarity switches. It's not a small solution but I feel it's more LEGO pure as I'm only replacing what my fingers could do with the servos. See my site for a lot of examples of this. (...)
