RC cars originated from the old wind-up toy cars.

May 03, 2021

All of us, whatever the age, have used some kind of toy car at some time, whether mechanical, radio controlled, Barbie cars or Scalextric cars, so we are familiar with them, but do we know what the first toy cars were like up to what we know today?

Absolutely great little car
I will get another one soon 😎😊

Can Am Mav Red.

Great product, great quality far superior to others I have owned. Easy assembly. Plastic and decals great quality. Only complaint is it’s a little slow.

Works as designed. Thank you for replacement.

Cute but not sure if it’s worth the price

Purchased the car for my daughter’s 4th birthday. It’s very stylish, moves well, and heavy, but the radio and horn don’t work. I’m not sure why. I had this put together by my brother-in law who is a mechanic and can build anything. Disappointing, but my kids still enjoy it. Would love to know if there’s a replacement part or way to correct this. We’ve only had the car for a week.

Remote range

Overall, the vehicle looks great and rides very well. My biggest issue is with the remote-control range. The vehicle has three speed settings, but the medium and high speeds are too fast to realistically use because the remote loses connection at roughly 25 yards. Once it gets out of range, the vehicle abruptly stops as a safety feature, which can cause the child to lunge forward unexpectedly.

Because of this, you can really only use the higher speed settings in small circles instead of driving straight across a yard or field. It becomes frustrating because the vehicle is capable of higher speeds, but the remote range does not support them. The vehicle constantly stopping due to lost signal is definitely the biggest downside.
