Top 20 Radio Controlled Toys

Our rating is opened by a not quite standard radio-controlled machine. It looks more like a futuristic transport or some kind of robot on wheels - it has two huge wheels and a cabin between them. This design is necessary so that the model can jump. It also limits the maximum speed to 7 km/h.But even with such a low speed, you can play enough, because this machine is not designed for fast driving, but for high jumps.

The main feature that opens up new frontiers in games is the ability to jump up to 60 centimeters in height. After the jump, the machine will level itself and turn in the right direction. With it, you can jump over any obstacles and even climb stairs. Modelka jumps with the help of a special lever in the back. Do not worry that the machine will be damaged if it falls: the manufacturer has equipped it with flexible wheels that absorb the impact and prevent the toy from breaking. The dimensions of the machine are 14x13x11.5 cm, the battery lasts for 20 minutes.

Compact and unpretentious buggy, capable of speeds up to 20 km / h. Belongs to the famous series of cars Hot Wheels. Scale 1:28 (15x12x11.5 cm). A distinctive feature of this machine is a camera with a resolution of 480p, which is quite high-quality for a toy, which transmits data to a special mobile application via Wi-Fi. The remote control has a holder for a smartphone, which will make it easier to view live video from the camera. The Wi-Fi range is 35 meters. The battery will last for 15-20 minutes of play.

The machine is ideal for entertaining even small children: in addition to the main purpose (to ride), it can give out sound and light accompaniment. Made of metal and plastic, so it will survive even a collision with a wall. Shock absorbers are, but not too good. But large wheels with aggressive tread will keep the model even on sand or grass.Alas, the machine is not waterproof, so even a minimal puddle can be fatal for its electronics.

All-wheel drive electric machine on the control panel, ideal for racing on a more or less flat surface. Reminiscent of the Formula 1 racing car from which the manufacturers took the basis of the design. Precise selection of components, precise ergonomics and high-quality tires make the machine ideal for racing. It has independent spring suspension. Tires are resistant to abrasion, able to protect the car from destruction due to vibration. The car accelerates to 45 km / h.

The battery supply is enough for 10-15 minutes of active driving. It can move away from the remote control by 100 meters, which more than covers any stadium. The scale of the machine is 1:18 (29.5x13.5x10 cm). Weighs only 627 grams. The ground clearance of the machine is only 1 centimeter. Therefore, it is useless to drive it through tall grass and especially uneven ground: it will get stuck. Her place is various tracks, roads with smooth asphalt and the floor in a house or apartment. It will definitely please a young racer or an adult who is just starting to get involved in radio-controlled toys.

A durable all-wheel drive car for a person who has decided to try his hand at drifting or already knows how, but is looking for a more professional model. It is capable of accelerating to 45 km / h, which is quite enough for the original goal. The range of the remote control is 100 meters. I got a pretty strong body that will definitely survive your attempts to learn how to drift. The chassis is reinforced with an aluminum deck, which makes the model even more durable. The center of gravity is located on the axle of the wheels, which improves handling in skidding. Pleased with a large assortment of replacement parts: as you progress in drifting, you can improve the car so as not to buy a new one.

Made on a scale of 1:10 (36x20x11.2 cm). The wheels are made of specially formulated rubber and are perfectly smooth - what you need for high-quality drifting on any flat surface (smooth asphalt, concrete, wood, etc.). With a strong desire, you can replace it with regular tires and ride just like that. You can adjust the alignment. There is a smart backlight: when driving, brake lights and headlights react to control. And the turn signals even work on the machine, which will please the proponents of naturalness.

The leader of the rating among the cars on the remote control is the Traxxas X-Maxx, a really huge 1:5 scale all-wheel drive monster truck (dimensions 78x54x35 cm). It reaches speeds of up to 80 km / h on 8S batteries thanks to a powerful brushless electric motor. The model received an independent suspension with oil-filled aluminum shock absorbers. There are special small wheels that will help not to roll over during a sharp start and drive a little on the rear wheels. The electronics are waterproof. Equipped with the latest equipment. It is completed with an intelligent stabilization system, which is controlled from the remote control and will allow even a beginner not to overturn the machine.

The battery will last for 20-25 minutes of active driving. Many elements of the chassis and engine are reinforced. Suspension of thick strong plastic, not adjustable. The machine weighs more than 6.5 kg. There is a special button on the remote control, thanks to which the monster truck will be able to stand on wheels if it rolled over onto the roof. Batteries and chargers are not included and must be purchased separately.The engine heats up quite quickly, so you should consider additional cooling if you plan to ride at maximum speed for a long time.

Opens the helicopter section, which is suitable for people who prefer military equipment among their toys. This is an exact copy of the famous Boeing CH-47 Chinook military transport helicopter. Scale to a real helicopter - 1:32 (toy length - 46 cm). The helicopter has three-channel control: it can fly up and down, back and forth and turn. The model has two screws and, accordingly, two pairs of engines - front and rear. Can fly for 10-12 minutes. The control range is only 30 meters, so don't let the helicopter go too far.

Plastic is not shockproof, so you should pilot carefully. The helicopter is sensitive to temperatures - in cold weather (below +10℃) it becomes brittle and discharges faster. The toy received bright LEDs in place of real Boeing engines. They will help not to lose the helicopter in the grass or in the dark, they serve as headlights.The toy is light (only 250 grams), but at the same time large, so it is suitable for flying in complete calm.

The next in the ranking is an unusual "water" helicopter that can inspire interesting games with water. He will show himself well on vacation near the sea or a river. In terms of functionality, this is a simple children's toy, so you should not expect aerobatics from it - three-channel control. The flight range is small, only 20 meters. At the same time, the model can fly an average of 6-8 minutes from a standard battery. The helicopter is relatively small (33 centimeters in length), the manufacturer did not provide information about the weight - together with the box, its weight is 600 grams.

The toy is called “hydrocopter” for a reason: the helicopter is able to land on the water surface, which greatly expands the possibility of playing with it. Of course, it is not waterproof, so it is better not to drop it into the water with the body. Buoyancy is provided by large foam "skis" that can hold the model. The toy does not fly too fast - enough to learn the basic principles of controlling the plane and not crash it in the process.

Ideal inexpensive model for beginners and children from 8 years. It is easy to handle, very stable and surprisingly strong. Therefore, it will allow you to painlessly learn how to pilot this type of radio-controlled toys. This is one of the most reliable helicopters. He will calmly survive almost any fall: in crash tests, he was even specially beaten on the floor and dropped from a height.The secret is in flexible nylon blades and a reliable metal frame that can withstand severe stress during operation.

The model is controlled by three channels. There is a six-axis stabilization gyroscope which helps the helicopter to keep stable while flying. Thanks to this ease of control, this model is ideal for a child or a person who has never flown a helicopter before. The range of the remote control is 50 meters, which is enough for such a toy. The model flies for about 8-10 minutes on a single battery charge. Despite its impressive size (43 cm in length), the helicopter weighs only 188 grams.

A miniature aerobatic helicopter only 20 centimeters long, capable of flying in any direction and in any position, even down the propeller. It is assembled from plastic and polycarbonate, which has a positive effect on reliability. Given the scanty mass (only 32 grams), the model becomes almost indestructible. In case of a breakdown, the box contains spare blades and a few other spare parts. There are two options on the market - RTF and BNF: the second comes without a remote control, so take a closer look at the package.

It has as many as six control channels, which, coupled with a decent flight speed and compact size, makes it ideal for studying aerobatics. The SAFE stabilization technology will help in the management, which is able to stabilize the helicopter immediately after pressing the button. In general, the model is literally crammed with technologies: automatic altitude maintenance, automatic position recovery, improved damping, vibration-free gyroscope. In general, the baby fully justifies its cost. Although it can be in flight for no more than 5-7 minutes on a standard battery.

Large and heavy helicopter with a length of 70 centimeters, designed for experienced pilots. Under the new laws, it requires registration and permission to fly, since it weighs 450 grams. This is no longer a toy, but quite a serious model for those who are fond of collecting and flying. The body of the helicopter is very flexible and strong, it is hard to break it. The blades and propellers are solid, but can still break if dropped. Therefore, the box contains spare blades and a tail rotor in case of a breakdown. Due to the design, the model is able to fly even in light winds.

The helicopter is four-channel, so it opens up more opportunities for piloting. There is a gyroscope. The model will be of interest to more experienced users, since it is much more difficult to fly than three-channel helicopters. The control panel has a display that shows the status of the helicopter and the current settings. The maximum distance from the pilot is up to 150 meters, which will significantly expand the possibilities of playing with the model.By the way, you can connect a video camera to it, so the helicopter can be used as a drone. Alas, the model can fly for 8-10 minutes.

Opens the rating of the best unpretentious tug ship capable of acting as a fire ship. It is suitable for children who want to feel like lifeguards. This is a relatively inexpensive toy that is unlikely to be of interest to adult modellers. She has a hydrant capable of spraying water quite naturally. In addition, the model is able to tow various cargoes, barges or other boats: it has a hook and a winch. True, they are not remotely controlled, so you will have to connect the cargo on the shore.

Despite the fact that this is just a toy, the level of detail is amazing. All elements of the tugboat are qualitatively drawn and worked out, from the winch to each cord and rail on the deck. At the same time, the scale is 1:20 (length 60 cm), so the toy is impressive. The boat can sail up to 50 meters from the owner and sail up to 15 minutes on a standard battery.The model is slow, but maneuvers well and keeps even on medium waves.

This is not a children's toy, but rather a model for sailing enthusiasts of all ages. A real yacht in miniature with a characteristic way of working and steering. Comes with excellent assembly instructions. It also contains a detailed description of how to properly navigate the yacht on the water, making entry into sailing easy even for beginners. Using the remote control, you need to change the position of the sails and rudder in order to adapt to the wind. This is a complex science that will interest teenagers and adults. Children under 12 may simply not be interested or difficult to play with such a yacht.

Another plus is the excellent workmanship. Every small detail is carefully crafted on the yacht, which will delight fans of elaborate models that are close to the original. At the same time, the yacht is strong - the hull is made of fiberglass and has a rubber knob on the nose, which will protect it from cracks and scratches. Don't expect to play in shallow water: the bottom of the model has a long keel. When assembled, it weighs 2 kg and reaches 147 cm in height and 95 cm in length. Despite this, the yacht is still small enough to be transported without dismantling in the trunk or in the back seat of a car.

Large but inexpensive boat for those who just want to enjoy swimming and will not race.It does not have special capabilities, but it is well controlled and stable on the water. The scale of the boat is 1:16 (length 75 cm). Accelerates up to 35 km / h thanks to two collector electric motors. Picks up a signal from the remote control within a radius of 50 meters. Management is good: it will be difficult to turn the toy over. The case is not waterproof, so it is advisable not to overturn and immediately pour out water if it gets inside in large quantities.

The boat is bright and beautiful, in a sporty design, so it is perfect as a gift for a child from 12 years old. The plastic is quite thick, so it can survive a blow to the shore, a tree or another boat. Alas, the model does not have a very good battery - it can be nickel-metal hydride or nickel-cadmium, although it can be easily replaced with a lithium-polymer one if desired. Enough of it for 10-12 minutes of walking. Some users note in the reviews that the remote control of the toy is too heavy for children, but you can get used to it.

The second place is honestly occupied by a good boat 65 cm long for adequate money. The toy is suitable for both children and adults. She got serious opportunities. The boat is capable of accelerating up to 55 km/h in ideal conditions. On average, it drives at a speed of 40-45 km / h, which is also a lot. The motor is brushless and doesn't get hot. The model can leave the owner with a remote control for 150 meters. However, the power reserve is small - only 5-7 minutes at maximum speed on a regular battery. The boat has a very soft and accurate start. This will prevent you from accidentally rearing the boat or turning it over when you start moving.But even if this happens, the toy can turn over by itself: for this, it is enough to turn on the gas.

Even with a coup, water practically does not get inside the boat. It's all about the double sealing system - the hood of the boat is additionally pressed against the hull with five screws, which minimizes the chance of moisture ingress. The bottom is also double, and the drain hole is closed with a rubber cap. Three spare screws included. There is also a rubber bumper on the nose, which is very convenient for beginners - so the model will remain intact if it bumps into something with its nose.

A serious boat for those who are actively interested in radio-controlled models. Differs in the high speed of the movement and stability on water. The manufacturer claims a speed of up to 50 km / h, but during testing, the boat accelerates up to 70 km / h. There are three options for the location of the battery: front, rear and side. The stability of the boat and its center of gravity on the water will depend on this. You can even install several batteries, which will significantly increase the life of the boat. There are three levels of automatic stabilization on the remote - full, medium and without it. On the first two, the boat will steer itself, which will allow you not to accidentally turn it over on the water.

The model itself has quite impressive dimensions - 103 centimeters in length. The top is made of durable plastic. There is a lot of foam inside, so even after a coup and a set of water inside, the boat will not sink. Alas, the case is not waterproof - during complex maneuvers or reverse gear, water gets inside. But the electronics are waterproof, so you should not be afraid of a short circuit.In general, this model is ideal for those who love fast boats and know their value.

Opens the rating of not one, but two whole tanks in one set. The set includes a Soviet T-34 and a German Tiger. Toys interact with each other thanks to infrared sensors. When fired, one tank sends an impulse to another, and life is taken away on hit. Machine guns are also included in the game! The health scale is reflected in the form of four indicators on the tower. With each cannon hit, one light goes out, and the tank loses one of its options (shots, turns, etc.). One shot from a cannon is equal to four or five from a machine gun.

The models are small, 1:32 scale. The tower rotates approximately 300-320 degrees. A shot from a cannon simulates recoil: the tank rolls back, a red LED lights up at the tip of the muzzle. When hit, the toy twitches, as if it had received a real blow. Models differ in characteristics: the Tiger is faster, but the T-34 is more maneuverable.There is a problem that the infrared diodes of tanks can give out random hits, even if aiming in the wrong direction. If desired, the toy can be modified, but these "accidental" hits are quite rare. The battery will last for 25-30 minutes of play.

A miniature tank in 1:24 scale (24.5x11x11.5 cm), which will be a great gift for a beginner modeler or a teenager. Despite the size, the model is realistic - the details are worked out, there are metal elements. The case is quite durable, plastic. In general, reliable, but still a toy. Interestingly, the tank received a gearbox: it has different speeds, which makes it comfortable to drive in different situations. Alas, the model does not have sound and a smoke generator.

The kit includes various accessories and additional parts in case of breakage. There is also a figure of a tanker with a machine gun, which will add realism to the child's game. The gun of the tank is pneumatic, it shoots balls. The manufacturer included a target with which it is easy to understand how to aim the gun correctly. Eight batteries, which act as the battery of the tank, will last for 20 minutes, while the control range is up to 50 meters.

One of the most popular tanks among fans of military equipment and professional modellers. The PRO version differs in that it has an all-metal undercarriage, tracks and gears inside.New models can work in two modes at once: ball fight and infrared fight. The corresponding module is already included. There is a smoke generator and two-channel sound with four sound options. The model is distinguished by the presence of a responsive board: the tank can move both extremely slowly and very quickly. You can limit the maximum speed.

Heng Long T-90 is one of the most interesting models for further modification. It has a lot of upgraded parts. You can buy a tank in the PRO version once, and then buy and install better parts if you want to improve performance. However, to install a larger battery, you will have to remove part of the battery compartment, since it is small. The standard battery is designed for 10-15 minutes using a smoke generator and up to 35-40 minutes without it. There are a lot of attachments in the kit, so you have to spend time fixing it.

In second place is a relatively small tank, which is suitable as a gift for children, collectors, and modellers. This tank is ready to play immediately after purchase. It is enough to hang decorative elements on it - handles, cables and other trifles. By the way, this little thing is so well designed, so the tank will look beautiful in the collection on the shelf. In addition, the camouflage is hand-drawn, so its pattern is unique. The scale to the real tank is 1:16 (48x22x18 cm). A smoke generator and two-channel sound are included, everything sounds and looks quite realistic.

Powered by two collector motors. The undercarriage is metal: all gears, caterpillars, gearboxes, sloths and rollers.The rest is made of thick hard plastic. The tank received an air gun with the ability to shoot six-millimeter balls. You can download 40 pieces, and this is enough for an active game. The turret rotates only 340 degrees, which can be a disadvantage in an active tank battle. Although this is offset by the astonishing speed of turning on the spot. Suspension on springs, but copes even with serious loads.

The rating section is crowned by a magnificent tank model with a thorough study of each element. Supplied in a wooden box stylized as an ammo box. This is an ideal gift for a person who is interested in military equipment. The tank is almost entirely made of metal: only the upper part of the hull, some attachments and some parts are plastic. Everything is hand painted, so each tank is unique. There is a smoke generator and two-channel sound.

The scale of the tank is 1:16 (65x23x20 cm), while it weighs 7 kg, which provides excellent maneuverability even on grass or piles of leaves. Torsion suspension. A high-quality study of the running gear, a powerful engine and good metal tracks make this tank not just an exhibition model - it can be actively exploited. Equipped with an air gun capable of shooting balls. Models are also sold with an IR combat system, which is suitable for full-scale tank battles. Provided that there are modelers with the same tanks. When fired, the muzzle rolls back into the turret, simulating recoil.
