3. MJX 14210 RC Truggy

 Elevate the Christmas spirit with the MJX 14210—an RC car that transcends traditional presents. Its advanced features and off-road capabilities make it a main present that guarantees endless thrills and excitement well beyond the holiday season.

MJX have absolutely killed it this year, bringing us a few cars within this top 10 list. The MJX 14210 is probably the best RC car produced this year with 14th scale 4wd brushless power. The item comes with everything you need to get it started, just add 2x AA batteries to the controller.

This one comes with both a black and a gold shell, so coming with 2 shells is a great bonus for you to be able to choose the look of your truggy.

This truggy has great proportions and considering the price we know we will sell out of this one this Christmas. 

Get in early to avoid missing this one!

4. MJX 16207 RC buggy

The MJX 16207 isn’t just an RC car; it’s a statement of quality and excitement. Gift this high-performance machine for a Christmas filled with speed, precision, and off-road adventures. It’s the main present that keeps the joy rolling long after the festivities.

The MJX 16207 is a smaller machine compared to the 14210, but it has a secret weapon. This one comes with a 3S battery (compared to a 2S battery of most of the close competition). This means it packs a punch of insanity.

This is basically the tesla model S of small RC cars. Its been one of our biggest sellers this year, and will again smash it this Christmas.

Parents looking for a present for beginner RC’ers, we recommend turning the speed down on the controller via the throttle trim nob to make it easier to handle in unexperienced hands.

5. HBX 16889a Pro

The HBX 16889a Pro is the latest rendition of probably the most popular cheap RC car on the planet this year. Do your research on youtube and you will only see glowing reviews of its predecessor.

With this version of the product they have really listened to the community and delivered some key upgrades including:

– Oil Shocks

– Metal Gears

– brushless motor

Don’t mistake this for the cheaper FTX version that doesn’t come with these features.

This is easily our biggest seller and never see our customers having any issues, and this really indicates how rugged and reliable this item is!

6. HBX 2996a & 903A

For most of this year the 903A was the office favorite. Its slightly larger than most of the trucks listed here today and as a result handles that little bit better.

So… we were surprised when HBX went one step further and released a stepped up version mid year. 

Enter the 2996A brushless version in red. The main difference is a centre differential. For those of you that don’t know what that is…. it simply means that the gears are in the centre of the car and allow for better power delivery to the wheels when grip is not balanced. Its what most real live 4×4 all terrain vehicles use to ensure they are able to handle more effectively.

This has resulted in supreme handling coming at a really great price.

7. MJX 16208 & 16209

This MJX duo pack a punch. They are the larger brothers of the MJX16207, and come with a 2S battery ready to run with a USB charger.

We absolutely love all the MJX stuff. To view all our MJX stock click the logo below…
