Christmas Buyers Guide – Best Remote Control Cars 2019

-
Looking to buy a remote control car as a present this Christmas? Then look no further than our Christmas buyers guide showcasing a range of RC cars suitable for all ages and budgets. Our guide covers models suitable for driving indoors or out, along with some advice on scale and batteries for first-time buyers.
All the remote control cars here are tried, tested and loved by RC Geeks staff. With so many models available, our editors have set about curating a list of the best models we sell, grouped by budget. Whatever you opt to purchase, you can be sure our recommendations will result in a great gift.
These fully-licensed RC cars include models from Audi, BMW, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mclaren and more. What they lack in driving dynamics, they make up for with almost die-cast level of detail, some including LED headlights and operable doors.

For a proper RC experience on a budget, look no further than the FTX Colt. One of our most popular sellers during the holiday season, this small (25cm long) ready-to-run RC buggy offers hobby-grade performance at catalogue-shop prices. This zippy little buggy features a shaft driven 4WD system and sports that classic silhouette complete with large rear wing.

Looking for a ‘full size’ RC buggy? The Baja V3 is a 1/10th scale ready-to-run RC buggy measuring 43cm long. With a longer wheelbase than the Colt it is more stable at the higher speeds it is capable of. It shares the same buggy styling but the lexan bodywork and wing can be removed to reveal a tubular roll-cage style chassis underneath.

Rear wheel drive is cool, but on a loose surface AWD can be just as fun. Our most popular 4WD Truggy sold last year was this, the FTX Carnage. The budget shaft driven (open-diff) chassis features a slipper clutch, metal turnbuckles, oil-filled dampers, off-road tyres and much more.

Another beloved FTX model, the Outlaw is a 4WD off road buggy with a trailing rear arm and plenty of suspension travel. Its shocks and ride height make it ideal for anyone who is looking to tear around a root-filled forest floor or a stoney beach. The crazy amount of suspension articulation is reminiscent of some of our RC crawlers but the buggy is geared for speed.

Its important to note that all of the models you see on this page are electric, powered by batteries. Whilst some include a battery for the model (and indeed some for the transmitter too) many do not. Further to this, some of the high-end models do not include a charger for the model battery either. Please take note of the ‘in the box’ section on our product listings to avoid disappointment on Christmas morning!
For the majority of the cars that include a battery, it will arrive at a ‘storage‘ level of charge, requiring a full charge before first use. Consider charging the model up a few days before wrapping and handing over the present to cover this off.

How Does a Radio Controlled Toy Work?

-
Most people have seen a radio controlled toy move around but have you ever wondered how these RC toys actually work? Whether it's a car, plane, or boat, these toys work similarly and use four components. The components are the transmitter, receiver, motor, and power source. These parts work in harmony so that you can control the toy with a remote. The first component is the transmitter. The transmitter is basically the controls that allow you to operate the RC toys. The transmitter requires power in order to operate and sends frequencies which make the radio controlled unit move to your commands. Most units allow you to move forward, backwards, and control between left and right. A combination of forward, backward movements is used with the left and right controls. The transmitter sends a signal to the second component which is the receiver. The receiver is connected to the center of the radio controlled toy and responds to the controls of the transmitter. The receiver is co...
