RC cars make a great holiday gift, and if you are still on the hunt for that perfect gift then this blogs for you. In this week’s blog I will be going over last minute gift ideas for NASCAR lovers, remote control fans and remote control car fans.

The first gift ideas are for those people on your list who are new to the hobby of collecting or playing with remote control vehicles. For novice RC-ers you will want to stick with the basics. Look for remote control cars that don’t go faster than 10 to 20 mph. If you are shopping for young kids then look for RC units that are designed for kids. These RC units will have special features like easy to control remotes, slower speeds and more durable cases.

For RC lovers that are moving up in their RC experience, try more advanced RC units. Faster moving RC units are great as they will challenge your experienced RC’er’s handling skills. They will also give your RC-er the chance to play around with a vehicle that has more speed and power. Some of the top performing RC cars can reach speeds over 100 mph. However, 65 mph is a good place to start when moving up from beginner models.

For advanced RC controllers you will want to look at customizable vehicles. You can buy build your own RC kits, body kits, motor upgrades, shock upgrades, wheel upgrades and even decal upgrades. If you don’t know much about RC vehicles then get them a gift certificate so that they can buy the parts that they want.
