Where To Look For Junk Cars?

Remote Control Cars: good vs. junk?

  • I have 2 boys that are 9 & 11. They are at an age where they can play with an expensive/fragile toys and not destroy it within hours. For Christmas, we would like to buy them each remote control cars but don't know how to tell which is a good one that will handle being driven outdoors vs. one that's a pile of junk not worth spending the money on. We're looking in the price range of $50 or less each. Any advice on what to look for and what to stay away from is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

  • Answer:

    For an RC that can handle a variety of surfaces I'd go for an offroad RC vehicle. You'll look for one that has replaceable parts if anything breaks. Usually a Hobby Store is a good place to try. The sales associate can give you more info. For that price range, that's the minimum of where to get a starter kit. But it depends on what manufacture you end up on getting. The sites I included can get you comparing the prices and type of RC trucks in that price range. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas.

We had a few toy RC cars with my kids (and one for me). If planning to use outside, make sure to get ones that can handle the surface they'll be driving them on. My parents bought my kids RC trucks and they were both smaller scale versions and didn't do well when they hit grass. The larger one I used had 3" diameter wheels and it did pretty well as long as the grass wasn't too tall. Oh, make sure the frequency between the cars differ so they don't interfere with each other. We had two that were pretty close and occasionally one controller would drive two vehicles. I don't have the vehicles now or I'd get the exact frequencies. The RC vehicles were actually not as much fun as we'd have thought for my kids so I'm hoping my nephews will appreciate them more than mine did.
