If you are looking for an RC car for competitive track racing, a rock crawler to drive outdoors at your leisure, or an RC drift car to perfect your sliding skills, we have something for you. Our range of RC cars includes a plethora of makes and models of: 

• Off-road RC cars

• RC drift cars

So find your preferred niche within the hobby and get the RC car that’s best suited for your interests. 

All Configurations and Sizes of RC Cars

The hardest part is deciding on the ideal radio-controlled car for your needs. But that’s also half the fun. Our aim is to enable you to find the perfect RC car for you, which is why our range includes a multitude of combinations of configurations and sizes. Do you want an RC car with a plug-and-play electric motor or one with a nitro engine for that extra power?

A brushed or brushless motor? Front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or 4WD? We have what you are looking for. Maybe you want a micro 1:24 RC car to drive indoors? Or a fully detailed 1:8 to model at gatherings? On the other hand, you could be looking for a standard 1:10 or 1:12 for outdoor racing. Whatever the specs and scale you need are, our range of RC cars has something that fits the bill.

FAQs

What age is suitable for an RC car?

RC cars are designed for a wide range of ages and experience levels. Most RC cars are suitable for ages 6 and up, depending on the model and its speed or complexity. Children under this age can still enjoy an RC car with close adult supervision, especially when using slower models in safe, open areas.

What is the difference between on-road and off-road RC cars?

On-road RC cars are built for smooth surfaces like pavement and tracks, offering higher speeds and precise handling. Off-road models, like RC trucks, are designed for rough terrain such as dirt, grass and gravel, with stronger suspension and more grip. Choosing the right type helps ensure better performance and a more enjoyable driving experience.

What is the fastest RC car available at RCMA?

Our fast RC cars are models with brushless motors and high-performance LiPo batteries, designed for maximum speed and acceleration. Performance depends on factors like motor type, battery and overall design. For hobbyists, it's common to upgrade models with higher-capacity batteries, upgraded motors and performance parts to push speeds even further.

What batteries do RC cars use?

Most RC cars in Australia use rechargeable batteries, commonly LiPo (Lithium Polymer) or NiMH. LiPo batteries are popular for their lightweight design and high power output, making them ideal for fast RC cars, while NiMH options are often more beginner-friendly. 

You can explore our compatible batteries and reliable battery chargers to keep your setup running smoothly.

From essential upgrades to maintenance items, you’ll find everything you need in our car parts and accessories section, including a comprehensive selection from TRAXXAS.
