Decent remote controlled car (and maybe remote control motorbike?)

DS is 5 and we got him a 360 type remote control car last Christmas. It lasted about a week, it still lights up but the batteries drain so quickly it hardly moves.
So I thought he'd forget it but he's still saying maybe he'll get a new one this year.
Please can someone recommend one that isn't useless?
And DD who is 3 is obsessed with motorbikes...

We bought a super mario one from smyths - last year so not sure on price now but t was £50, it's so fast that we can't use it in the house! DS loves it and plays with it all the time!

Pricey but we'll take a look!

this mini is absolutely fantastic and lasts forever!

Ah boo out of stock! DS loves "mini cars" too.

@drspouse yes that's the one, they're quite Chunky but very robust, we've only used on concrete/laminate flooring but I'd imagine it'll do well on grass as it's quite powerful

I'm just bumping this up as I'm not sure we're going to stretch to the £50 one from Smyths - in case anyone else has any ideas?
