It’s never too early to get started on holiday shopping, and we love a good
car gift
. Here are some electric RC cars that will wow any kid—or let’s be real, any adult, too.
  • The Traxxas Maxx is the bite-size off-roader of our dreams. For $570, it will scale rocks, jump dunes, and amaze onlookers.
  • You’ll have to assemble the Tamiya TA07RR yourself, but the reward is a super-speedy racer. This RC car will set you back $523.
  • For the Mario Kart enthusiast, try the MST RMX 2.0 S. This $175 RC car is made for drifting.
  • Speaking of drifting, for $180, the Redcat Racing Lightning EPX Drift will slide to your heart’s content, and it looks snazzy to boot.
