Taking the Wiimote for a ride outside

Why stay inside and play Excite Truck when you can go outside and play with a real (toy) vehicle using your Wiimote? Not that we're raggin' on Excite Truck, but this latest Wiimote mod is pretty nifty. This Austrian fellow took a cue from some of the Bluetooth documentation at WiiLi.org and springboarded from that to turning an RC car into a WC car -- Wiimote controlled, that is. It's all in the video after the jump. Some people are already crying fake, but from what the guy says, he's been working on it for a little while and the principles seem sound. Either way, we're starting to think the Wii itself is just icing ... thanks to the mod community, these days it's all about the Wiimote!

Looks pretty cool, Seems reasonable to me.
Appears that he has the remote control hooked to the sensor bar? hmm very strange how he did that.
