According to a mate of mine there is a website online that lets you trade in your old petrol remote control cars for money off newer petrol rc models - pretty cool concept if you manage to find the damn site, have searched for hours for all the expected rc car phrases like remote control trade in etc but nothing except standard rc car stuff is available…if someone likes the idea - do it because it brings the kids back to your shop and clearly knowone else in the rc car market online is doing it!

I am buying a present for my nephew and cant decide whether to go for a pit bike or remote control car. With the pit bikes you get a lot more exercise out of the kid - e.g. its a much more active present that will keep him riding around everywhere, fixing it, carrying it, jumping it etc.
But the remote control car is safer - even if you get a petrol rc car I am fairly sure its classed as safer than buying a petrol pit bike for your kid. I mean they both use petrol so I suppose they are both a bit dangerous, but for a 10 year old what do you guys suggest? If I was ten I would go for the pit bike (can get them in black 125cc) but my kid is more into cars than bikes so do you think that’s a better idea?

I like to think I have a personal affinity with engines. Whether they are little 23cc ones propelling radio controlled cars around muddy tracks or big old’ 6litre lumps. I always thought this was the case anyway.
But recently my 1.9tdi just hasnt been performing as much as I had hoped it would when I brought it, the engine appears drab and underpowered. But I suppose thats what you get with used cars in the UK. I think I may even opt for a bigger turbo when this turbo unit dies, which it seems to be - maybe I will stick a 180bhp one on - should spruce the pedals up a bit!
On another note I have been having a go with this awesome little radio controlled car this week - seriously cool little thing. Its 1/5th scale so its about a foot and a half long - but I swear this thing shifts. Itd be an awesome ride if you could stick some camera to it - would need to be more than 30 fps though!!!!
is alll good

Times come and times go but for 20 years remote control toys have been a top seller at christmas time. It can take a lot to satisfy the youth of today - xmas presents seem to be a different ball game these days.
Just on a quick search for xmas presents I have found Petrol remote controlled hummers, Business books and a whole range of other things that seem appropriate for my johnny, but how much should I spend?
I mean it takes the biscuit what some parents will lay out for thier children once every year. I don’t mind spending a few hundred but more than that and they are just pushing thier luck if you ask me.
I say get one seriously good christmas present like a petrol rc car and they should be happy enough. Obviously a few little bits like oranges help bulk it up in appearance! God I love xmas time!
