good stuff, do you've in a project site the parts list and software? Please add to the arduino dot cc / playground or something similar

this is sweeeet. does the boarduino and the arduino have to a have a wireless network present or can it just do it if u dont have wireless. is that why you are using an xbee module. if you take the traxxas outside, will it still work.

I am a curious noobuino

@coolbidman Thanks! Yeah the XBee handles all of the wireless connectivity. It is basically a wireless serial port. If you use an XBee Pro, which is the same thing just more powerful, it will work for over a mile! Even outside.
