About Red Thunder Remote
Your favorite RC car lost its original app. Red Thunder Remote brings driving, sounds and expressive movements back to compatible Sphero Ultimate Lightning McQueen cars. DRIVE AND INTERACT • Touch steering and throttle controls that follow where your fingers land. • Portrait and landscape layouts, including iPad. • Headlight and taillight controls, battery readings, volume and idle chatter settings. • Automatic reactions to driving, touch, movement and connection events. KEEP McQUEEN READY • Check his software, audio files and animation data from Diagnostics. • Follow a guided restore when an installation needs attention. • Download English restore audio when needed and reuse the verified image later. • Clear power requirements, consent, progress and Wi-Fi prompts during restores. RED THUNDER PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE • Drive with a compatible game controller. • Customize animation names, favorites and event reactions. • Build Studio scenes with editable pauses and playlists. • Organize scenes, movies and playlists in Library. • Discover and share community creations, with reporting and creator-blocking controls. • Follow movie reaction schedules in a full-screen player with manual sync controls. Movie video and sound are not included. • Chat with McQueen on supported devices. Conversation text stays on your device unless you choose to share feedback. NO CAR NEARBY? Explore the interface and take the guided tour before connecting compatible hardware. Driving and physical reactions require a car. A compatible Sphero Ultimate Lightning McQueen is required for hardware features. Keep the car plugged in during restores; English audio installation can take 45–75 minutes. The first audio download requires internet. Chat availability depends on the device. Red Thunder Remote is an independent app and is not affiliated with Sphero, Disney or Pixar.
