You don't need an arduino. Just an ESP8266 with a smartphone. And obviously a battery and motors/drivers. And wheels.

I have got the car. It has 2 servo motors. How can i connect it without the arduino ?

- Wed Mar 02, 2016 5:07 pm #42265 What kind of esp8266 do you have? The GPIO pins on the esp can be used in the same way as on an arduino - i.e. if you program the esp with the Arduino IDE, you can used analogWrite() to control servos. The only problem you may have is that the esp runs on 3.3v and your servos may need 5v - this is easy to solve though with level shifters.
