There are many reputable RC brands. We are big fans of Syma for their flying helicopters and LEGO. Aside from the LEGO name, we really love how the brand has branched out into electronics, STEM, and remote-controlled toys - a big change from the modest beginners with simpler setups. Although it did not make our list, another solid RC car brand is Traxxas with the Traxxas XO-1 and the Traxxas Slash.
