Discover the Perfect Remote-Controlled Car for Kids and Beginners
With us, "toy" is not a negative word—quite the opposite! It’s a stamp of quality that means the product is designed to deliver smiles and fun straight out of the box. We’ve handpicked each remote-controlled car and tank in this category with one goal in mind: maximum entertainment for your money. We've tested them ourselves, and we know they can spark excitement in both little and big tinkerers. Whether it's a speedy RC car for races in the driveway or cool Battle Tanks for epic showdowns, you'll find it here.
A remote-controlled car for kids should be easy to handle, tough enough to take a few bumps, and, most importantly—fun to drive. That’s exactly what our selection reflects. These are beginner-friendly cars that don’t require much technical know-how but provide a fantastic sense of speed and control. While there might not typically be spare parts for cars in this price range, you’re never alone if anything goes awry. We’re nerds with a heart, and we'll always do our best to help if something breaks.
Which Remote-Controlled Car Can Drive on Grass?
Short answer, unfortunately: None of the cars in this category. Remote-controlled toys are designed for harder surfaces like asphalt, tiles, gravel, or indoor floors. Their motors aren’t powerful enough to handle the resistance from a lawn, and they can quickly become overloaded and burn out, especially in small, eager hands that keep the throttle pinned. So for the best experience and longest lifespan: Steer clear of grass.
What’s the Difference Between a 500 kr. Remote-Controlled Car and a 5,000 kr. One?
Great question! A car in the toy category (like this one) is designed to be fun and easy "right out of the box." It’s typically made of simpler components and isn’t meant to be repaired with spare parts. In contrast, a hobby-grade car priced in the thousands has more powerful motors, advanced components, higher top speeds, and is built to be taken apart and repaired with a huge array of spare parts and upgrades. Both are fantastic but serve different needs.
What Age Are Your Remote-Controlled Cars Suitable For?
It largely depends on the child, but many of our cars are well-suited for kids aged 6-8 and up. It’s more about fine motor skills and interest than a specific age. And to be completely honest, we’ve seen grown men enjoy our Battle Tanks as much as a 10-year-old. It’s all about the playful spirit—which, fortunately, has no age limit.
Are the Cars Ready to Drive When We Receive Them?
Yes, almost all our remote-controlled cars are "Ready-to-Run" (RTR). This means the car is assembled, and it comes with a rechargeable battery and a charger for the car itself. Typically, the only thing you’ll need to provide yourself is AA or AAA batteries for the remote control. We always clearly state on the product page what you might need.
How Durable is a Remote-Controlled Car for Kids?
We select cars we believe are robust and can withstand play. They’re built to handle bumps and minor mishaps that naturally occur when having fun. But remember, they’re still electronics and plastic, not indestructible. A full-speed crash into a curb can damage any car. But with normal use, you’ll get a toy that provides many hours of good entertainment.
