What kid doesn’t get a big kick out of things that fly, especially Radio Controlled flying toys? There’s nothing like being outside on a warm spring day and suddenly hearing a faint buzzing sound in the distance, then looking up to see a model airplane darting and dipping in the blue sky overhead. Any kid who owns one is sure to be the hit of the neighborhood, and will enjoy hours of fun taking to the skies. They are easy to operate, and with a little initial adult supervision.

A great feature of Remote Controlled flying toys is that they can be educational. The toys require “hands-on” involvement, so the child quickly learns that since he or she is the one in control. Irresponsible behavior can result in the damaging of a favorite toy, the destruction of property by crashing it into a car or home. Hand-eye coordination can also be developed through the use of the remote control toys.

The great news for kids is that flying toys are not just limited to Remote Controlled airplanes. There is a flying bat that actually flaps its wings in the air and a helicopter that can move up, down, left, or right. And we can’t forget the girls’there is a flying fairy that can soar through the air like a bird. Some flying toys are made of virtually unbreakable material, perfect for those who prefer to do a little “stunt flying”. There is even talk of a “flying” skateboard in the no-too-distant future.

RC flying toys can go a long way toward getting kids out of the house on a beautiful day. In a time where many kids would rather spend their summer vacations indoors playing video games or surfing the Internet, it is nice to know that there is still something that will get them outside. With many schools being forced to cut back on recess and gym class, the reduced physical activity is a leading contributor to the childhood obesity epidemic we are currently facing. Flying toys are a great way to get kids up and moving.

Flying Toys Fun in the Friendly Skies is a post from: Radio Controlled Toys

Any parent knows that young boys love playing with cars, In fact, they are one of the most popular toys available and have been for countless years. But as children get older and harder to please (over three years old say), the ‘push and go’ model cars get a bit boring and many kids develop a longing for something that moves on it’s own! Remote control cars therefore fit the bill nicely and that is why they are growing in popularity, year after year. And it’s not just kids driving the trend, but adults too! There is a whole plethora of information about the hobby on the web, but little for beginners and that is why I wrote this article.

When trying to make sense of all of the different remote control cars available, a good place to start is understanding that there are two grades of remote control cars (or Radio Controlled cars as enthusiasts call them). The two different types are hobby grade cars and toy grade cars and both can provide hours of fun and enjoyment, for the right person.

Toy grade remote control cars are ideally suited to younger children because they cost less and if your child’s interest fades, you will not have spent the earth. Toy grade remote control cars are also safer for younger children, as they are generally not as fast, compared to say a petrol or nitro powered car (these can hurt if they hit you at 60 km/h!). Toy grade cars have other benefits too, such as;

Unbelievably detailed replicas are available, suitable for little & big boys who want to own their dream car. Many are officially licensed by manufacturers like Range Rover, Land Rover, Audi, BMW, Ferrari etc. & they are generally cheaper than the replicas you can buy in most car show rooms. Generally, they do not need to be built and are ready to use from the box. They are an ideal gift & are cheaper than most hobby grade remote control cars. They are safer for younger children (generally three & up) compared to faster hobby grade cars.

A great selection of toy remote control cars is available on Ebay. Some of the best can be found by clicking here.

Hobby grade remote control cars are different. They are more expensive, but offer several benefits if you are looking to take your hobby more seriously. For example, spares are often available & you’ll be able to make repairs yourself (or even get your car serviced in a specialist shop). Hobby grade remote control cars are also generally faster, as they are powered by either high performance electric motors, petrol or even nitro engines! For this reason hobby grade remote control cars are not suitable for younger children, as they can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h. In fact, most reputable brands recommend that nitro powered cars are only suitable for teenagers and adults, due to their speed and the toxic nature of nitro fuel. You can also upgrade a hobby grade remote control car to make it faster, stronger, more adjustable or just to make it look better. Some even have optional bodies that you can replace whenever you want.

If you decide to opt for a more expensive hobby grade remote control car, you will have a few decisions to make, such as;

On Road Versus Off Road…

The most popular type of remote control car is the Off-Road Buggy. These normally have larger tyres with spikey treads, full suspension & go on almost any terrain. On-Road cars are usually lower, have slick tyres & sleek sporty bodies.

Kit Form or Ready To Run…

Some hobby grade remote control car companies specialize in producing kits that you can put together yourself. Although this can be rewarding if you have the patience, it is not really an option for younger children, as some models may require a small amount of finishing, for example bodyshell painting and fitting. Kit form remote control cars can cost more at first, but they can also be more durable and therefore economical in the longer term.

Electric, Petrol or Nitro Powered…

Electric remote control cars are typically powered by rechargeable NiCad, nickel metal hydride or lipo batteries. Electric models are the entry grade within the hobby class cars & this power source is considered to be safer compared to petrol or nitro powered models, particularly for younger drivers. They are also quiet and can be used indoors.

Petrol remote control cars are normally powered by small 2-stroke engines, similar in capacity to chain saw engines. They can be faster than electric models, but they are not particularly suitable for younger drivers. Petrol power is often used for larger cars.

Nitro remote control cars are usually powered by model 2-stroke engines that run on specially formulated model fuel, which is available from specialist shops and websites. They require more user knowledge, and are also not suitable for young children, as they are seriously fast and nitro fuel can be dangerous stuff! Nitro powered remote control cars can also be more difficult to start.

Scale – Big, Medium or Mini…

A whole plethora of different sizes (or scales) is available and it doesn’t really matter which you buy, unless you intend on racing your car at a club in a specific category. Generally speaking the huge monster sized 1/5th size cars are petrol powered and are not really suitable for children due to their bulk. A good option for most and probably the most common sizes are either 1/10 or 1/12 scale. These cars are widely available with either a nitro or electric power source, and are small enough for most to carry. Smaller ‘mini’ sizes are also now quite common too, particularly in 1/18 scale.

Generally speaking, hobby grade remote control cars are sold at specialized hobby shops or websites.  A great website for beginners is www.remotecontrolcarsdirect.com where you can find more information, videos, and details about magazines and clubs.

In summary, whichever type of remote control car you decide to buy one thing is guaranteed regardless of your age, you will have lots and lots of fun!

Many toy manufactures now focus on the educational usefulness of the toys they produce.  After all, toys have been known to nurture minds while encouraging discovery and enjoyment.  Here are the top electronic educational toys for young boys that do not compromise the balance between fun and learning:

Number recognition
Introduce the joys of mathematics early to a young boy and help nurture a love for numbers.  There are several great electronic educational toys that young boys will love, including oversized talking calculators that teach basic mathematics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.  These are colorful toys, which children find quite attractive.  Battery power means these electronic toys can be carried anywhere.

Another great addition for your child’s collection is the electronic numbers mat.  It consists of several mats with corresponding numbers and images.  When pressed, the image reads the numbers out loud.  Excellent for assisting young boys in learning to recognize and count numbers.  Mats with images emit animal sounds.

Sequencing games
When there are electronic educational toys, sequencing games no longer have to be boring stuff.  Engage your young boys in hours of fun, play and learning.  An excellent electronic toy to look for is the one offered by LeapFrog — children manipulate components of the toy to create patterns and even play melodies.  Helps focus not just on creativity and reasoning but also in developing children’s motor skills.

Building toys
Lego bricks are great but there are many electronic educational toys designed for young boys that encourage them to build and create another toy out of several components.  Consider getting your child a radio and electronics set of a basic circuitry board.  All components come in a box with instructions.  

To build the toy itself, the child follows the instructions provided in an easy to read manual.  Once he’s done, he will be able to make his own radio, for example, or a simple circuits board that has a computer interface or even a simple robot that comes with a sensor.  Helps encourage creativity and scientific thinking; also helps develop focus.

Electronic educational toys such as these are best for older boys.  Some components are small enough to be choking hazards, so avoid giving to a young child.

Science kit
There is a wide variety of electronic educational toys that young boys will find interesting, particularly if they are fond of science.  Consider kits such as those that introduce your child to magnets, electricity, electromagnets, radio, sound, motion, computers and light.  Try puzzles that combine light and sound or radio-controlled toys.  For older kids, try the 100-in-1 or 200-in-1 electronic project kits that will provide them with neverending fun and learning.

Depending on what you buy, these toys can be enjoyed inside or outside in the garden, yard or park. Most RC Toys are relatively easy to control, especially when under adult supervision and are suitable for children 8 years and up.

Puzzles

I highly recommend puzzles. There is a vast array of interesting puzzles in the market place such as the Tripod puzzle, Cmetric Too and of course the highly popular Sudocube which comes in a cube just like the traditional rubik cube. These puzzles are created to stimulate critical thinking and encourage problem solving skills, combining education and fun.

There are a number of fun games that encourages physical movements and exercise. Games such as Dance Pad and racket ball games are great way to achieve this goal.

Homemade Toys

Finally, there are many inexpensive ways to engage your kids and is fun for parent and child. Nothing beats the old fashion way of paper plane and kite making. Kids’ sense of pride in their kites is undeniable. No store-bought kites could have brought these children as close to the mystery and physics of flight as their own creations. Parents would no doubt enjoy teaching their children how to make these toys which they themselves played with as children. Teaching children how to make a toy can be a memorable and meaningful way to spend time with them.

Toys for Christmas is a post from: Radio Controlled Toys

As far as variety goes, there are about as many RC cars as there are models of the real thing, and probably even more. Take for instance the Chevy. There is no lack of RC models available if you go for the classics in this arena; or for their sports car line, like the Chevy Corvette.

Chevy RCs are definitely more for the collector than the racer, unless you custom-make your RC racer to have the body of a Chevy, that is. Let’s take a look at some of the more popular Chevy RCs:

Muscle Machines 1957 Chevrolet

This comes in pretty big at a 1:8 scale and is truly a classic. Accessories included are the charger, battery pack, and features working headlights, a decidedly detailed interior, custom wheels, and super glossy paint. Average price is between $60-$80. Other Chevy Muscle Machine models available are the 71 Camaro and the Camaro Z28, also in 1:8 scale and similarly priced to the 1957 Chevrolet.

1969 Chevy Camaro Z28 RC Electric Car

Made by Playmaker Toys, this 1969 Camaro model is produced at a 1:18 scale and features working head and tail lights, and is a four-function car (as in forward, backward, left, and right). This is definitely for the real Chevy collectors out there, and at $30-$40, it’s not a bad deal at all.

1998 Chevrolet Corvette GTS IR Control Mini RC Car

For the mini RC fans out there, this Chevy is for you. It features a body that is all metal, racing tires made of rubber, and a miniature Corvette engine. The remote control wristwatch doubles as just that, a watch, and the mini RC car itself claims to mimic everything that its real nemesis does; this is probably because General Motors itself is said to have licensed this baby as a true 1:32 mini RC. This has a MSRP of $49.95 to $69.95 but can be bought at less than half that price at many online hobby stores.

Chevy truck models are also available as RCs – such as the Chevy SSR RC Truck and the Chevy 4×4 Monster Truck. Average prices for RC trucks are a little over $100, but if you’re lucky, some websites have them on sale for as much as 50% off.

Many Chevy owners who have at one point in their lives owned a classic are thrilled when they find model RCs that resemble the very cars they once owned. So, whether you’re just a beginning collector of classics, or if you’re a seasoned collector looking to expand your line of cars, then the Chevy is definitely the way to go.

Chevys – Classic Radio Control Models and More is a post from: Radio Controlled Toys

Many people think of Remote Controlled cars as toys for kids. However, there is a huge difference between remote control cars for kids and remote control cars for adults. The complexities of the cars have a very wide gap. Kids cars will run on just a few AA batteries. RC cars for adults feature full miniature engines. Lots of the popular motor kits run on fuel such as gasoline or nitro. Others run on large battery packs that are essentially beefed up versions of kids toys. These cars require just as much maintenance as a real car, since they have all of the same components (plus all of the radio transmitting gear!) to deal with.

When building a Remote Controlled car, you will have many different choices regarding the quality of the components that you use to make it. You can stick with some simple hobby store components, but those are not likely to make a car that will win any races. If you want to go all-out on a project, you can get top quality parts. You should be prepared to spend some money to get what it takes, but once you have it all together you will have a car that you can truly be proud of. If you want to assemble this type of amazing car, you will need to look for several things in particular when buying components. These will help you get the maximum performance for your money.

The fastest engine choice that you can find is a nitro engine. Nitromethane is an alternative to regular gasoline, and runs much better for RC cars. It is usually heavier, and therefore more cumbersome on the handling of the car. However, if you are going to be on a fairly straightforward and tame race course, it is a great choice and will provide a huge speed. The only down side is that nitro engines are known for wearing down faster, and breaking at a higher rate. If you use a nitro engine frequently, you can almost expect it to break after intense usage. It is a good idea to have an electric engine that you can swap it out with when the need arises.

The other parts of the car are equally important when you are aiming for absolute fastness. If you are you going all-out on a project, you should expect to spend quite a bit on components like wheels and axels. Usually you want to get wheels that are extremely firm and light. If you have the opportunity to go out to a hobby store and test out a few different components, you will be able to decide exactly what you want based on experiencing it first-hand. This is the best way to shop for anything, and the same goes for remote control cars. Since the parts are usually highly swappable, you can directly compare one with another by trying them in quick succession.

If you aren’t a very technically inclined person, the thought of picking all of these parts might not sound very fun. However, you might not have to go through this process. It is possible to buy kits that include all top of the line parts, and are quite easy to assemble. With these you won’t get the high level of customization that you would get out of building a regular home-made car. Being able to choose all of the parts separately is a great benefit, although 90% of the time you can replace individual parts if you decide that you want to go for something that is of a higher quality or a little bit faster than what you had before.

All of these things really add up. If you have one part of a car that doesn’t perform as well, the entire thing will be affected. Therefore you need to choose your parts carefully to have the best Remote Controlled car possible.
