Devices, systems, and methods of enhancing the gameplay of a toy are disclosed herein. For example, the toy can be a remotely controlled vehicle that includes a radio frequency identification (“RFID”) reader, configured to detect signals generated by a plurality of markers with RFID tags. Each marker of the plurality can be arranged such that the markers define a course for the remotely controlled vehicle. Certain markers can be designated as a starting line, a finish line, and “special,” which would enable programmable and variable gameplay features and actions of the remotely controlled vehicle. The remotely controlled vehicle can be communicably coupled to a mobile computing device configured to receive and process signals from the vehicle, display metrics associated with the gameplay, enable immediate functioning of special tag features, display metrics, and generate control codes transmitted to the vehicle, which control certain features in accordance with the programmed gameplay.

A drag braking system and method for a model vehicle are provided. The drag braking system may include a transmitter comprising a throttle input and a motor control device. The motor control device may include a user activated operation set selector and a memory storing at least two braking profiles. A first or second braking profile is selected via operation of the operation set selector and a braking force is applied by a motor of the model vehicle according to the braking profile selected. The method may include activating a user activated operation set selector and selecting a program setup mode or a profile selection mode. The method may further include setting a neutral position for a throttle input and selecting a braking profile. Wherein the braking profile applies a braking force via a model vehicle motor when the throttle input is in the neutral position.
