I’ve always wanted to say this…HIT THE GAS! 

Having a remote-controlled car gives kids the chance to experience the thrill of driving, racing, and pulling off crazy stunts. And for the feeling of actually driving a real car (but smaller and you’re not sitting in it…) gas or nitro-powered RC cars are the best you can get. Plus they’re just so cool.

We’ve picked out the 11 best gas RC cars for any gearhead kid who wants to feel that power at their fingertips, whether it’s a sleek sports car, a versatile 4×4 ready to take on the world, or a behemoth of a monster truck. So whatever the terrain or the competition, there’s a winner to be found here.

No kid wants their RC car to be left on the grid, of course, so we’ve made sure that our recommendations are the very best cars out thereby eliminating any fake online reviews. So there’ll be nothing slowing down their nitro-fuelled adventures!
