HOW TO CONTROL AN RC CAR WITH A STEERING WHEEL (2026)

 Yes — you can control a real RC car with a simulator steering wheel, and it is now plug-and-play. A device called Radix, made by Umbrella Innovation in the UAE, clamps onto your steering wheel and turns it into the controller of a real RC car. There is no delay, the range is the full range of its ELRS radio link, and setup takes minutes: clamp it on, plug in USB, drive. Until recently, this technology existed only inside expensive simulator setups sold by companies to companies (B2B). Umbrella Innovation is one of the first in the world to make it available to everyone, at a reasonable price. WHAT IS RADIX? Radix is a compact control unit that mounts on top of your simulator steering wheel. You connect your wheel's USB to it, power it over USB, and it converts every input — steering, throttle, gears, buttons — into radio commands sent to your RC car over ELRS, the long-range, low-latency radio protocol used in professional FPV drones and RC models.
HOW IT WORKS — 3STEPS
1. Clamp Radix onto your steering wheel (Thrustmaster T98 Ferrari 296 GTB, Logitech G29, and more models coming).
2. Connect USB power and plug your wheel's USB into Radix.
3. Drive. Every steer, every throttle input goes straight to the car — instantly. FULL BUTTON MAPPING Radix does not just convert steering.
You get full control mapping: gears, engine start/stop, steering trim and throttle trim — with both manual and automatic gear modes. Everything is adjustable, so the car behaves exactly how you like it. COMPATIBILITY - Steering wheels: Thrustmaster T98, Logitech G29 — more wheels coming. Ready to run: ELRS receiver pre-installed. You can use it with your own FPV system at any time.

ABOUT UMBRELLA INNOVATION Umbrella Innovation is a UAE company founded by Ali Alowais. Radix was born from a simple wish: to share the feeling of driving a real RC car with a real steering wheel. Because no one was selling this to consumers — only B2B, as part of full professional setups — we built our own, and made it for everyone.
