Another highly sought-after RC car that has 1000's of happy reviewers and users the world over, Bezgar have built an astonishing 1:14 monster-truck-inspired car that has both on and off roast transformability – in other words, it's destined to have the kids in awe!

Reaching speeds of up to 15 mph, this car is not for the faint of heart and is recommended for adrenaline-hungry kids of 8 and above. It comes with a large capacity 800 mAh rechargeable battery and 2.4 GHz radio transmission, allowing a solid amount of drive time with RC car friends and foe alike.  

Also recommended for kids ages 6 - 12 years, this stunt-ready remote-controlled car is in a league of its own. It can morph into all kinds of shapes, allowing for some seriously futuristic driving to be achieved.  

The lightweight and compact design lends itself to the 360° flip and spin tricks it's famous for while also making it easy to carry. This is a truly unique and remarkable toy that has taken the RC car world by storm, making the 2.4 GHz radio frequency handy, as chances are your kids' friends are bound to own one or want one too.  

The Antaprics 1:14 monster truck is a high-grade remote-controlled car with maturity. With dual 600 mAh rechargeable batteries, it boasts a commendable 60 minutes of drive time, giving your children more time to improve their RC car skills. 

The 2.4 GHz frequency coupled with a range of 50 metres ensures it's also the perfect weapon for your kids to zip around with and race their mates. The controller is of a more technical design that lends itself well to the recommended age of 6 - 12 years. 

Recommended for toddlers aged 2 and over, this simple yet stylish RC car by Brio is designed to improve children's coordination and dexterity from the get-go. With large, easy to press buttons, the controller gives toddlers a fighting chance at joining in the fun. 

It has a very minimal range of 15 metres and an unknown top speed, so it's best suited to in-house racing. That said, knowing it uses the modern 2.4 GHz radio frequency allows for toddlers to get together and race their little hearts out. 

The Spirit from Vatos toes the line between a remote control car for kids and one for adults. Its most notable difference from the other cars on this list is its incredible top speed of 22 mph. This is seriously quick, making it one for older kids and teenagers who know their way around an RC car.

It's a large 4WD monster truck replica with a scale of 1:16, making for a weighty piece of RC engineering. Vatos really drive home the Spirit's ability to handle all types of terrain, while also benefiting from a level of waterproof protection. All in, this is a quality RC car which is certainly reflected in its price.  

Your kids can revel in their very own Megalodon monster truck with this spitting image 1:24 replica. From the ever-popular monster truck series Monster Jam, this remote-controlled beast will capture the imagination of future rev-heads wherever it lands. 

With an impressive range of 76 m and monster truck wheels to boot, your children can enjoy this Megalodon RC car to its full extent. Unfortunately, the top speed hasn't been stated and with it using AAA batteries, you can safely assume it won't have the highest of top speeds. 

This compact remote control car from Lofee has a recommended age of between 3 and 9 years. This is because of its simple forward, back and left-right controller that older kids may lose interest with.

Its simplicity extends to the radio frequency too, making for a lonely ride of just one. It does, however, boast an incredible 150 m range, which seems too good to be true for the price, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt. It's certainly pleasing many happy reviewers on Amazon, so it must be doing something right. 

A little car with a big heart, this Lightning McQueen remote control car is enthralling kids the nation over. It's an ideal choice for any Cars-loving kid aged 4 and over, with an easy-to-use controller to help keep them interested.

Being powered through the preferable 2.4 GHz radio frequency allows for a serious speedway to be built around the house, parents permitting. However, it does require five AA batteries to get moving, and with a drive time of 20 minutes, it'll certainly cost you to go to the speedway. 

Launch Batman into action with this 1:16 stylised replica of the famed Batmobile. This clever design features a spring-loaded seat that catapults the 10 cm Batman figurine across the room, finishing off any villains in his way. 

With a very impressive range of 75 m, this rechargeable Batmobile has what it takes to go the distance against the crime of the streets. Although without 4WD wheels, it has the potential to get stuck in all kinds of muck and especially at that distance. Also, the higher-than-average price makes you question, is Batman worth it?

This is a classically-styled remote control car designed for kids aged 3 and above. It's an officially licensed Beetle replica that's scaled down to 1:24 the size of the real thing. 

With a top speed of 4 mph, it won't be winning any races, but it's definitely destined to harness the imagination of any little girl with future Beetle dreams. The main drawback is that it still uses the MHz frequencies. Granted it has 27 and 40, enabling play with one friend, but that is unfortunately it.
