Best RC Cars of 2025

"I recently bought this RC car and I am very impressed with its performance, especially considering the price. It offers great value and has proven to be durable after three weeks of use. However, I did notice that the battery life isn't very long, barely lasting 30 minutes on a full charge."

"I got this for my dog and he absolutely loves it! Watching him chase after it and try to take it apart gives me so much joy and laughter. The two batteries make it convenient, though I find it a bit tedious to change them because I have to unscrew the latch. But overall, this is a fun toy!"

"I purchased one for each of my four grandkids, and they were all thrilled! The cars were zooming all over the place during Christmas, and they loved the lights and the way they flip and turn. Plus, it’s great that it comes with two rechargeable batteries. Definitely a good buy!"

"I think this is a great product for kids. The wireless remote control is easy to use and has a good range, making it fun to play in the backyard or park. The sporty design looks classy, and it's definitely worth the money. The controls are responsive, and the brakes work well. I would highly recommend it for durability!"

"I was a bit disappointed with my purchase. I bought this thinking it was hobby grade because of the body pins, but it feels more like something you'd find at Walmart. For $30, I expected better quality. I should have realized what I was getting into, but I wasn't happy."

"I bought this for my son, but the product didn’t match the description. The frame feels very cheap for the price, and I regret spending $90 on it. It’s disappointing, and I'm just waiting for my refund now."

"I ordered this for my nephew, who is just getting into remote control cars. I love that it charges via USB, unlike other toys. The car is well-made, durable, and surprisingly fast. It can even handle small puddles without any issues. I definitely recommend it for beginners and DC toy collectors!"

"I bought this as a Christmas gift, and it was a huge hit! I was surprised by its size and durability, as it looks just like a mini batmobile. It's fast, and the only assembly needed was adding batteries to the remote and charging the car. It has excellent traction on both grass and cement, but I caution against flipping it as it can scratch easily on hard surfaces. Overall, this RC batmobile is amazing!"

"This thing is incredible! It's fast and lightweight, making it easy for my kids to maneuver. I was impressed with how sturdy it is when it crashes into walls, leaving no damage behind. I’m very satisfied with the quality of this product!"

“This thing is amazing! I've tried two other styles of amphibious RC cars, but they were not nearly as good. The controls are the best; they allow for easy driving compared to others that are weird or lack control. I’m actually considering buying another one for backup since I like it so much. It’s great for fun and I love that it’s waterproof if I accidentally drive it into the pool. 11/10!”

“I got this for my niece who loves pink. Her brother used it and did manage to break it, but it was great while it lasted.”

“I purchased this for my granddaughter, who is turning 5, but I noticed that while the description says age 3 and up, the box states age 8+. I'm a bit disappointed about that.”

"I absolutely love this car; it's super fast and fun to play on the tracks!"

"I've been playing with it non-stop for three days, and my son loves it too! It's affordable and resilient; I highly recommend it!"

"I bought this for my car-obsessed son, and it did not disappoint. He's been tearing up every inch of our floor, and the speed is impressive—it's even faster than our Roomba!"

"I've enjoyed my Typhon Grom for some time now. It's truly amazing. I've taken it through dirt, grass, and pebbles, and it has survived numerous hits, rollovers, and awkward landings. The clipless body is a significant advantage, plus the body is thick, making it excellent for bashing. Although it feels a bit underpowered for its size, the quick battery charge and 20+ minute runtime during heavy use make it a solid choice. While I recommend upgrading to metal parts and a brushless system for added durability, I did experience a mishap with the shock tower breaking after a few days of brushless use, which dropped my rating to 4 stars. Still, it's a fantastic car."

"This car is incredibly fun to drive and bash around. So far, it's proven to be very sturdy."

"I had a bit of trouble with the courier, which caused a delay in receiving my item. When it finally arrived, the battery wasn't functioning and wouldn't recharge. However, the seller provided fast and effective support and sent a new battery that resolved the issue. I would have given 5 stars, but the courier's service was disappointing."

"I found the Air Hogs Zero Gravity Sprint RC Car to be pure fun and innovation. Its ability to drive on walls and ceilings is mind-blowing, and it works exactly as advertised. The controls are responsive, and the lightweight design ensures smooth movement across surfaces. This RC car provides hours of entertainment and is a perfect gift for anyone who loves unique gadgets!"

"I was surprised by how small it is, but I couldn't return it because it's just too cool. I bought it for my advanced 3-year-old grandson, and I know he will love it. It's easy to use, and since it's not made of hard plastic, I feel confident it won't break if it falls. Plus, it's rechargeable via USB, which is convenient!"

"As a preschool teacher, I was amazed when a student brought this car for show and tell. Everyone, including myself, wanted to try it out! I ordered it for my son for Christmas right away. It comes in two colors, and it seemed to be great quality. The battery lasted long enough for all of us to have a turn, and it was simple for young kids to use."

"I used to have a Zip Zap as a kid and wanted something similar. I didn’t expect much at first, but it’s actually a lot of fun! My cats enjoy it too. Controlling a Hot Wheels car feels awesome. The front wheels are standard plastic, while the back ones have bi-directional rubber wheels. It’s a bit drifty and awkward, but once I got the hang of it, I’ve been having a blast. The boost button is great for jumps and navigating low carpets!"

"I bought this for my brother, and he absolutely loved it! After seeing how much joy it brought him, I’m considering getting one for myself."

"I have no kids, but I wanted to try this out for the price. The battery life is decent, and if you have the orange track, it’s absolutely awesome. At 60 years young, I wish they had these when I was a kid!"

“My son is obsessed with cars and remotes, and he thinks this one is so cute! It’s well made and works perfectly. He’s been playing with it for days now, and it’s his favorite toy over ones I spent much more on. It seems really durable, and I give it a 10 out of 10.”

“I found the product to be a bit small, but that was mentioned in the description, so it’s not a big deal. It is also loud, but I can overlook that. Just a heads up, you’ll need about 5 AA batteries. If you have pets, be cautious as hair can wrap around the wheels, but tweezers can fix it! Overall, it's a great toy, and I’d recommend it to friends.”

“I bought this car for my grandkids, aged 2 and 3. It was a reasonable price, and they love it! It’s still running well, nothing has broken, and the car is quite fast.”

"I purchased this for my friend's 5-year-old son. It's compact yet fun—perfect for their apartment! I appreciate how lightweight but sturdy it feels. The screw-secured battery compartment is a bonus for safety around young kids. I'm confident he will have a blast with it!"

"I bought this awesome remote-controlled car for my grandson, who is 5. To my surprise, I found it even more enjoyable than he did! It's incredibly fun and easy to control, making it a great gift."

"This is a fun toy overall. Though the remote seems a bit cheaply made, we’ve still managed to have a lot of fun with it. Learning to control it took some practice, but we're improving! I love that it doesn’t get stuck when it flips over."
