Which Electric RC car for beginner?

[ohanquels]

Hi guys,

I’m looking for a electric RC car that I don’t have to build myself. Pretty much ready to use.

But I found it difficult to find something well built, from a reputable brand, scale 1/10 or lower (I want the car on the bigger side of things), and even with a engine sound system. Also with variable speeds. Ideally I would like the car to look like a real car and not something too futuristic.

My budget is somewhere between £150 and £250 https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip/.

I would appreciate any suggestions!

When you say 'variable speeds' ..... do you mean some form of multi speed transmission? Coz all my cars vary their speeds between flat out and stop.

I would also advise, looking at your budget, to forget about a 'sound system'. Honestly, they are a gimmick and are an expensive way to make vroom vroom noises from a car that doesn;t make any. Add one later if that is what you want, but to start off... that will bite a big chunk into your budget, and your budget isn;t big enough to handle that. Better to spend the cash on a solid base....and then look to upgrade and modify later when you can throw a few more £££ into the thing.

 

Now...are you looking at onroad or offroad use?

 

Offroad, you will get monster trucks, buggies and mayber crawler/scale trucks.

Onroad, you will get cars that look like real cars.

 

As far as budget goes, I assume you need to get batteries, charger etc. or a car that comes with one.

This looks a nice one. Top end of your budget but does have scale looks.
