it should be much of a problem with adapting the hat to control other cars.
Nikko is not exactly a quality producer of RC cars but they at least use a common radio frequency used for RC cars plus their cars and transmitters allow for exchange of the frequency crystal making it possible to drive several otherwise identical cars at the same time.
that shop sells the controller caps separate for 99£ which isnt so bad. now I dont know if the controller hat allows exchange of the crystals, it should and from what I can tell from that article it does, Caesar, all you have to do is get yourself the controller hat, a set of frequency crystals and a different, faster car of you're likings that runs on the 27mhz band.
if the hat doesnt allow for crystal exchange then what you have to do then is swap the crystal on the car by trial and error and find the frequency the hat runs on, which shouldnt be so hard as Nikko only uses 6 different crystals at 29.995, 27.045, 27.095, 27.145, 27.155 and one more freq I dont remember.
