Little kids, big kids and adults all like to make electronic remote-controlled cars and vehicles careen through the house or around a yard or park, testing how far and fast they'll go and whether they can overcome obstacles and turn on a dime. So if you find yourself At the we've put hundreds of remote-controlled cars through their paces over the past 10 years, with family testers and our own engineers. We want to be sure that an RC car is going to stay charged for more than just a few laps around the living room (we're looking for at least 15 minutes of go time) and that the controls are easy and intuitive. To that end, we've sent samples to homes to get real-life feedback and also tested many remote-controlled cars in our Lab. We check to see if an RC vehicle leaves marks on walls or if it's awkward to juice up a vehicle's rechargeable batteries. We place a premium on RC cars that can do fun tricks, like wheelies and spins, since that's a big part of their appeal. Our list is practical for the young (there's even a first RC for toddlers!) — and for the young at heart. Our top picks: Because of its soft wheels, the Flippin' Frenzy is ideal for indoor use, where it's unlikely to mark walls or scratch furniture, though you're welcome to use it outdoors too. Our testing has shown that it's strong enough to be raced down a staircase or smashed into cabinets without damage to the toy or to a home. If the car hits an object and turns upside down, it just keeps going, which is g...

One of the many choices you have when buying a remote control car or truck from Horizon Hobby is whether to get one that’s powered by an electric motor or a nitro fuel-burning engine. Nitro RC cars once had the undeniable edge in speed. Now, advances in brushless electric technology have made electric radio control cars equal to nitro models in performance. But for sheer realism, most RC hobby enthusiasts agree that nothing beats a nitro RC car. The small internal combustion engines used in nitro radio control vehicles run on a special glow fuel that blends nitromethane and methanol with oil for lubrication. A glow plug, comparable to a full-size car’s spark plugs, ignites the nitro fuel to drive the engine’s piston. Due to restrictions enforced by the main sanctioning bodies for RC racing, the engine displacements usually found in nitro remote control cars range between .12 and .35 cubic inch (2 to 5.7 cc). A 1/10 scale on-road or off-road nitro RC car typically has a .12 to .18 cubic inch engine. A 1/8 scale nitro vehicle, such as the Nitro power has several advantages over electric power. Compared to electric RC cars, nitro-powered RC cars and trucks operate much more like most full-size automobiles. The realistic sound of a nitro engine is music to the ears of nitro RC racing enthusiasts. It’s also loud enough that not everyone else is a fan. So before enjoying the roar of your remote controlled nitro car, be sure to find out if there are any noise regulations in the a...

Every car fanatic's obsession started well before they were old enough to get behind the wheel. So a radio-controlled car was just about the next best thing. But just because you're old enough for the real thing doesn't mean that zipping around the backyard and racing your buddies with an RC car isn't still loads of fun. And being an adult means you finally have your own money to spend on all the things you wanted as a kid. Plus, radio-controlled cars have gotten a lot more awesome than they were when you were a kid. The selection of remote control cars available for the RC enthusiast now is broader than it ever was, too. You can get hardcore on-road remote control car racers in both battery-electric and nitro fuel (i.e. gas-powered), two-wheel-drive stadium trucks and buggies, monster trucks, drift cars and even rock crawlers with locking differentials and portal axles. For the more aesthetically inclined and fanciful, there are the wild creations from firms such as Tamiya, and that's before we even talk about the vehicle's size and scale.

Our best remote control car picks range from a high-speed toy car to a rough terrain rock crawler. Kind of like real cars, RC cars are specialized. On-road radio control touring ca...

The remote-controlled cars and trucks of today are miles ahead of what we had as children. They're faster, the batteries are lithium-ion and last longer, and they're way tougher too. (After all, was there any bigger letdown than breaking your RC car just hours after you got it?) Prices vary wildly, but with models starting at $45, there's something for everyone on this list. Now, make a sweet track in your backyard and go for it!
