CircuitMess Rimac Nevera Buildable RC Hypercar

The Rimac Nevera kit from CircuitMess is the most advanced build in the company's range: a fully functional 1:28 scale replica of the Rimac Nevera electric hypercar that students assemble from the chassis up. The box contains the model casing, vehicle PCB, electric motors, wheels and tyres, a servo motor, battery holders, LED headlights, a separate controller PCB and casing, and the tools to put it all together. Students build not only the car but the Time Attack controller that drives it.

Because the assembly goes right down to the chassis, motors and steering mechanism, the build is a real mechanical engineering exercise rather than a snap-together model. Students see how steering geometry is implemented with a servo, how drive motors are mounted and powered, and how the controller talks to the vehicle. The kit is explicitly framed around electric-vehicle technology: as they build, students learn how lithium-polymer batteries work, how electric motors convert current into motion, and what the engineering of a real hypercar involves. For a student interested in cars, this is a far more substantial route into physics and engineering than a static model.

The programming side is equally serious. The car connects to a computer and can be coded in CircuitBlocks for beginners or in C++ for students ready for a text-based language — one of the few kits at this level that offers a genuine path into C++. Students write their own driving rules, tune how the Boost Mode behaves, or program custom light shows, and every change is immediately testable by driving the car.

At $219 this is a significant purchase, and it suits an older student — roughly middle school through high school — as a term-long project or a capstone for an engineering elective. The combination of mechanical assembly, electronics, embedded programming and a genuinely desirable finished object makes it one of the strongest single STEM investments in the CircuitMess catalogue.
