    Best remote control car brand ?

    Hi all,

    I've been looking at Nitro remote control cars.

    I've seen one in Hamleys in London thats a Nitro, has no reverse and can go up to about 40MPH.

    But what is the make of car that I should be looking out for ?

    Thanks,

    I'm assuming your talking of electric cars, as I use to mess around with petrol ones some years ago and back then they would do 60+ mph in reverse (if you could keep them in a straight line long enough,lol) you where only limited really to control signal distance, was back then about 200 metres tops
    and in a blink of an eye...

    I don't know much about these, but I do know that B-I-L has a couple of Traxxas cars ... *loves* them ... also is a frequent buyer of replacement parts (due to crashes, not malfunction) ...

    Well, not quite 10K But Around the £300 mark will be OK for me. Only entry level stuff

    Tamiya or Kyosho are immediately the ones that come to mind. However Schumacher still makes their set of RC cars, and the people that make the RC-10, Team Associated are also up there.

    I used to race RC cars competitively in college... thinking about returning to it.
