Tracks take up room

An assembled track fills half a bedroom. The ones that fold up or go back in their box get used more often.

Remote control: battery and terrain

Check how long the battery lasts (20 to 30 minutes is normal) and whether it is for indoors or outdoors. For under-6s, two-button controllers.

Frequently asked questions

At what age can you give a remote control car?

From age 3 or 4 with very simple controllers; from 6 with a steering wheel and trigger controller; from 8, faster models for outdoors.

Why don't you show the exact price?

Amazon prices change several times a day and we do not want to show you one that is no longer right. We give a rough range (for example, €10 to €20) based on what we saw on the day we reviewed it; the real price is the one shown on Amazon when you click.
