Had this thing a while a now controls like an rc tank(No steering rack two sticks sliders for moving opposite the directions to turn) and you press a button to make it wheelie and your phone shouts Batman as well when it wheelies. I've got a new project in mind now for an rc mod and I wanna use a powered up hub but the one in this set is the only one I own right now. Is it useable with other rc creations? Tried using the app it connect with the batman controller app but just seems to ignore the others. For clarification what I'm building will have back wheel drive and steering so you'know the exact opposite of a tank like vehicle really. Just wanna know if it'll work before I spend hours cramming it all in only to find the box isn't compatible with anything else.

The hub in that set is the Smart Hub or City Hub that is normally used in trains but you can attach any powered up motor or sensor to the two ports. So you can have two motors attached one for drive and one for steering. You can control it with the Lego powered up app on your smartphone or tablet. There are some provided apps for RC cars but you may have to write some code to make it do exactly what you want. Alternatively if you are familiar with python you could use pybricks.

Yes, that's possible.

Starting the Powered Up app you have the choice between "Play" and "Create"  (in English, upper right)
With "Play" you can choose a certain set. But there is no predefined program for "Steering a car"

So you can select "create", add a new project, name it and then choose "controller".
With the left you icon can define your elements and than code what they should do.

(you could try the black one as well, perhaps it works for you)
