Remote control cars recommendations please?

[daisydalrymple]

Dc3 has asked for an all terrain RC car for Christmas (think home alone 3 style). We’ve had a few over the years with dc1&2, none of which stood the test of time. Now they look even flimsier in the body of the cars, they mostly are thin plastic, rather than solid. Anybody got a sturdy one which truly does go all terrain? TIA.

This thread is a little old now so some of the suggestions may be out of date, but if you’ve landed here looking for a great remote control car, we’ve recently updated our best RC cars page with lots of great options, as tried and tested by Mumsnet users and their kids. We hope you find it useful.

These are pricey but brilliant and really fast and sturdy. Depends in how old DC are, but these suit probably 8yrs up roughly, they're so fast they need a bit of skill to control

Oh that looks more like it 😍 sorry, should have added, he’s 8, so yes, wants the real deal this time. 😀

Oh I see what you mean by pricey though, didn’t realise you had to buy the whole kit separate. Would probably go up to £100 all in.

Sorry didn't realize how expensive they were, ours is about 10yrs old!

I think they've been around for years so you might find one second hand maybe already put together?

Thank you, I’ll look around.
