Incognito Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I am in the market for buying a pair of remote controlled cars. Nothing particularly fancy, but hopefully ones that work half-decently and don't break easily with normal use. Does anyone have some suggestions? Hopefully these would be under $40 each, but I really have no idea if that is possible (to do and still get something that doesn't just break). Bonus points if they run over grass.

Susan in TX Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 In my experience, remote control cars always break. My son has some of the very expensive ones and he is always needing to fix them. They can be fixed, and for my son, fixing them is half the fun but it is expensive to always be buying parts. My son says the best thing for around that price are "x-mods cars"(around 50$) they can be upgraded and repaired and are generally durable but have almost no ground clearance (unless you buy an off road one witch is slightly more) other then them he says the next step up is 100$ up.

Incognito Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Any other remote control car people out there? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy in FL. Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 No suggestions here. We have notoriously bad luck with those things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimtaxi234 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 http://swimtaxi234.blogspot.com/2012/01/meet-thor.html My son has an Electrix ECX RC Torment that he had not destroyed in the last 18 months. It might be a little pricey, but he has driven it over dirt, grass, rocks, down stairs, into a tree, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cera Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 We have a pair from hearthsong that work very well. I think they are called morphibians. You have to read the description to ensure you choose two that work on different frequencies but they can handle water and fairly bumpy terrain without any problems (and thus far my 6 and 8 year olds haven't managed to break them...it's been a year).

Incognito Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 I saw the morphibians on Amazon too. Do they go through batteries like crazy? And they actually go over grass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
