Just like in the Netflix original series, this cool ride is really powered by S.T.E.A.M. — Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math! Pop the hood to connect the engine. Add H2O (that’s water) to the tank to activate and run the car. Headlights turn on, and real, cool steam comes out of the tailpipe -s manoeuvre this sporty, red car using the easy-to-use remote control. Water has two jobs here. First, adding it into your RC car turns it on. The water completes an electrical circuit and allows electricity to flow from the battery to the motor. Second, it creates the mist that looks like the car’s exhaust. The mist is made from millions of tiny water droplets. Splashing around a pool creates lots of large droplets, but if you could do this ultra-fast, you would form ultra-tiny water droplets. The same thing happens in your RC car. A small plate vibrates super-fast to make millions of tiny water droplets that form the car “exhaust”.

Wanna learn how to use the H2O RC Car? We’ve got all the details you need:
What you’ll need for this experiment:
- Everything from the H20 RC Car set:
- Car
- Engine
- x2 engine cables
- Water can with cap
- Remote control
- Water
- x8 1.5V AA batteries
Before you begin, you’ll need to install the batteries in both the car and the remote control – six for the car (layered with two batteries inserted on the bottom layer and the four remaining batteries above it) and two for the remote control.
Let’s begin!
- Turn on the remote by moving the switch on the controller to “ON.”
- Turn on the car by moving the switch under the hood to “ON.”
- Open the hood of the car. With the engine in place, connect the wires to the top of the engine. Red wire = plus (+) port and black wire = minus (-) port.
- Uncap the water can. Squeeze the can and submerge it in water, then release to fill it up.
- Open the “gas” cap on the car. Place the nozzle of the water can into the opening and squeeze. Fill the car with about four full cans of water. Then, close the tank. The car headlights will blink.
- Use the forward and reverse buttons on the remote to drive your car.
- The car headlights will stay illuminated and light and steam will come from the tailpipes as you drive the car.
Buckle up!:
- The car fits two Project Mc2™ dolls (not included). Before driving make sure your dolls are belted in.
- Remove the end of each belt from its slot in the center car console.
- Place your doll comfortably in the seat.
- Re-insert the end of the belt into the slot and press firmly.
Important information:
- Up to four cars can be used at the same time without interference. To use multiple cars at once, turn on one remote and then one car. Then, repeat for the other cars. Only pair one remote and car at a time.
- If the lights do not blink when the car is on and the wires are connected to the correct ports on the engine, add more water to the car’s tank.
- Always turn the car and the remote to the “OFF” position after playing to conserve battery power.
- Do not use the car in the street, anywhere there is vehicular traffic, or in heavily travelled pedestrian areas.
- Do not stand on, sit on or throw the car as doing so can result in injury to the person and irreversible damage to the unit.
- Do not run the car into furniture, walls, pets, people etc., as doing so may cause injury to the people and pets and irreparable damage to the unit.
- Keep long hair and loose apparel such as shoestrings away from the turning wheels of the car.
- Do not drive the car through water or mud.
- Do not leave water in the water can after use. Remove the cap, drain and air dry the water can before storing.
- Do not leave water in the car after use. Open the “gas” cap and turn the car sideways to empty all water. Air dry thoroughly before storing.
