If you drive it outside your workshop, are there roaming charges?
If you drive out of range and it drops the RC signal, do you get free minutes?
If you crash it, will it call a wrecker?
Sorry, had to ask.

We did something similar for a British children's TV show a couple of years ago, with amusing results -- though best of all was the radio-control pot plant, which lurched around in a remarkably Rangdo-like manner. Blurry pictures here.
