We particularly like that you can remove the body panels revealing the tubular roll-cage chassis underneath. When ‘naked’, this setup has a extreme-off-roader look and feel. The value for money is hard to argue with. The model features radio gear, wall charger, a 10.5kg waterproof servo, front, metal output, crown and differential gears, oil-filled adjustable coil-over suspension plus a detailed body with working LED lights!
We also sell a brushless edition of this Truggy and recently compared the performance between it and the brushed model above. TLDR? You are getting an effective 25% performance increase for your higher initial outlay, certainly something to consider if your budget will stretch to it! Learn more from our comparison article.It is worth mentioning for any ‘serious’ RC gift recipients, we do sell chassis kits. These builds are pretty niche these days and require a whole host of supporting components, thus are only suitable for seasoned hobbyists. We offer a limited selection of what we consider to be the best kits and can also supply the electronics needed to get them running.
FTX's Banzai is available in green or red and includes the radio gear, charger, car battery and more.

FTX Carnage Truggy (brushed)Another beloved FTX model, the Outlaw is a 4WD off road buggy with a trailing rear arm and plenty of suspension travel.

The Vorza is designed to be approachable, tuneable and most of all, fun. Under the body, each new Vorza buggy has a ton of great durability and tuning features that make each one a joy to drive with a clear upgrade path to the ”S” spec and beyond! For example the HPI Racing Ford Mustang classified as a 1/10th scale model (although it is on the long side) and measures 431mm, 127mm tall and 200mm wide. This is approximately 10% of the size of the actual production car which (according to Wikipedia) measures 4784mm long, 1381mm tall and 1916mm wide.

As you can see from our example, in practice there is some variation. This is a product of manufacturers taking artistic license to adjust the design due to limitations of their chassis, or pre-existing elements such as wheels and tyres, to produce a design that just ‘ looks right‘. To avoid confusion, wherever possible we include the dimensions of the model in our listing. Lost on what charger and battery to buy? Look no further Our budget crawler has made many fans. Beyond its passing resemblance to the Land Rover Defender, FTX’s crawler has a torquey 60T brushed motor, telescopic driveshafts, metal gears and a complex multi-link suspension giving it solid off-road ability. For the majority of the cars that include a battery, it will arrive at a ‘ storage‘ level of charge, requiring a full charge before first use. Consider charging the model up a few days before wrapping and handing over the present to cover this off.
A quality, compact (just 27cm long) car, it is fully featured with a 2.4Ghz radio system, proper suspension, splash proof electronics and a fully proportional (not just on/off) steering system. The supplied 2S Li-ion gives the model some pep but it isn't fast enough for kids to get into trouble. Finally, here at RC Geeks, we’re often asked how fast a specific car will go. We’ve written this short article to help you understand the variables which will contribute to an RC cars top speed, and hopefully give you some idea how fast your RC car can go. Spares and hop-ups With good ground clearance, it can cut across a mown lawn or gravel carpark with ease. We love the stamina of this little buggy, thanks to the lightweight chassis and body it just keeps on going! Then thanks to the USB charger you can top the battery up from a powerbank or any USB port even when you are out and about.
In a hurry? Just pick your budget!

The UDI RC Cardiac combines a 2600KV sensorless brushless waterproof motor with a 3s compatible speed controller to create an authentic and thrilling driving experience. If you are unfamiliar with RC toys it can be difficult to visualise how large they are. For guidance most of our models are ‘ scale‘ models, labelled with a fraction such as 1/8, 1/10, 1/18, 1/32, but what does this mean? In simple terms it is the size ratio compared to the ‘real-life’ full size vehicle. RC Rally cars are following the same trajectory in popularity as the drift cars. UDI once again have managed to, not only perfect the look but also the drive with a stunning array of new technology. Each car takes less than half an hour to build in full and are ready to use. All are within an affordable price range, the brushed is not actually that much slower than the brushless version. Looking to buy a remote control car as a present ?
