    Remote Control Car

    Bought my youngest daughter, 8, an rc dancing monster truck for xmas last year. The eldest turns 11 this month and has asked for something similar. She wants something that can be used on the grass aswell as tarmac so probably a truck or buggy.

    I want it to be something that will do more than crawl along but also don't want something that's going to break someone's leg.

    Also, I don't want to break the bank. I've already got her some other things so not lookng to spend much more than £50.

    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Thanks

    Wouldn't have a clue at that price point, its only when you get into £150+ where Brands and spare parts availability come into the equation. ~£50 i would be surprised if you could find any information/reviews online for them as they are really disposable items. i.e. you crash them you bin them.
