Red5 Rock Crawler

Built from super-sturdy PVC, with resilient suspension, bulky tyres, and a host of other features, this is an RC car that will keep on trucking no matter what you put it through. The oversized wheels, combined with the suspension and the wear-resistant construction, mean that it makes for a perfect offroad vehicle – it’s even waterproof, making it that bit more awesome: you can drive it through puddles, and even across shallow streams. 

With versatile controls that let you take it in all directions, this RC Rock Crawler is the perfect remote controlled offroader.

Big Trak

Ok, perhaps not a radio control car, but a worthy mention. Big Trak is just as much fun as it was in the 80s and great for children who love the challenge of logic. The 23 button keypad on Big Trak enables quite sophisticated programming; Keypad Commands include Forward/Backward, Left/Right, P - Pause, Photon Symbol - Fire, CM (Clear Memory), CE (Clear Last Step) x2 (Repeat Steps), Test, Tick (Check Last Instruction), Out, Go and with 16 pre-set programmes it can be used straight out of the box too. A front mounted blue photon beam headlamp on Big Track adds to its attraction.
