Best Remote Controlled Cars
If you’re looking for the best remote-controlled cars, Tamiya is the only brand to consider.
Established in 1946, Tamiya is the market leader for RC cars and a vast range of model-making kits. The original kits were wooden, but Tamiya now uses reinforced plastics molded with the latest technology. Quality-wise, Tamiya is second to none. The body shells are top-notch, with some models built for the demands of racing and off-road adventures.
Whether you’re a beginner looking to get into the excitement of RC car building and racing, or an experienced enthusiast, Tamiya has models for you. They are well-known for their easy-to-follow directions and this is one of the reasons they are so popular in the RC car community.
The range includes non-competition grade RC cars and more serious models at the top end. All have the signature build quality and durability that Tamiya has built its reputation on.
The love of radio-controlled car building and racing often starts at a young age, but it’s a hobby all ages can enjoy. The vast range of models available from Tamiya means you can take on new challenges as your skill and experience level develop, and there are always new thrills and challenges!
To find the best remote-controlled cars for maximum enjoyment, consider the following factors.
Age:
Some RC cars are specifically designed for younger users, and these are a great entry point. They make an ideal Christmas or birthday gift for a child or grandchild, and this often becomes the start of a hobby they can enjoy for a lifetime. Buying a more advanced model for a young person can be too much of a challenge, leading to frustration and a risk of it never being completed. Similarly, more mature people need to feel a sense of satisfaction in both the construction and completion of their RC car and in the end-user experience. Selecting an age-appropriate model is key.
Experience level:
If you’ve never tried model making or used a radio-controlled car before, it’s a good idea to start with a simpler model. Some basic model-making tools make things a lot easier and improve the result. An entry-level RC car is easier to control and is a great way to get a feel for what’s involved. Don’t try to run before you can walk!
Budget:
There are Tamiya models to suit all budgets, and it doesn’t have to be an expensive hobby to get into. As you become more skilled you’ll have the confidence to invest in more advanced RC cars and diversify, but at the start, you can enjoy the experience of building a model and putting it to the test without breaking the bank.
Environment:
RC cars can be used indoors, and outdoors, and off-road RC cars can be driven on the toughest terrain! Choosing a model suitable for where you intend to enjoy it the most is another factor to consider when looking for the best remote-controlled car.
Racing outdoors is great fun in the summer, but short days and colder weather can make indoor driving more enjoyable in the winter months. If you have a large garden or quiet open space near to home you can really make the most of your Tamiya models.
