RC cars are a fun and cost-effective way to enjoy cars and the mechanics behind them. They can cost anywhere from around $40 on the cheaper end and reach up to $1,000 for a more premium vehicle. You can buy one that is pre-assembled or start with a kit and build your own. Radio-controlled cars are operated by an electric motor inside of the car and a remote control with radio transmissions that communicate with the car to make it drive. Most RC cars are powered by batteries but there are a few options out there that are powered by fuel. Here are the best RC cars available for sale currently on Amazon.
