2020 RC Toy Gift Buying Guide

What do you get as a gift for the person who has everything? How about a gift for someone who never got into RC modeling before and wants to get started? Trying to find something for everyone on your list can be quite a challenge. Fortunately, you shouldn’t have any difficulties when you check this list because there’s a little something for everyone who might like a new toy or model to either start their collection or add to an already growing one.

HobbyZone Sport Cub S v2 RTF RC Airplane

Since this Sport Cub has an onboard system that helps to prevent crashes, it’s an excellent option for those who are just learning to fly. It supports a number of advanced telemetry features as well as an integrated system that can help the pilot know exactly how much battery life is left. On top of that, it comes equipped with a powerful electric motor that should offer more than enough speed and power to support even an inverted flight pattern. This kit comes ready to fly and includes everything the recipient of your gift will need.

Traxxas Rustler XL-5 RTR RC Truck

Like the Sport Cub, this Traxxas Rustler RTR is completely ready-to-run and includes pretty much everything a person would need to start racing. It features a seven-cell 3000mAh 8.4-volt battery pack, which should provide more than enough power for those who are attempting to tackle pretty much any type of track. It’s a great choice for those who want to give a friend or family member a vehicle so that they can start coming out with them to the track.

E-Flite Habu STS 70mm EDF Smart Jet

Due to the speed and handling characteristics of jet aircraft, many people find it more challenging to fly them than a propeller-driven vehicle. This E-Flite Habu STS is a smart trainer that comes with SAFE technology, so it’s a good choice for those who have mostly flown prop planes and want to move over to jets. The combination of SAFE and smart technologies make this airplane a suitable trainer for first-time pilots as well. It even includes a flight simulator, making it easy to practice before ever taking it out for the first flight.

The plane mounts a high-performance electric ducted fan jet motor, which should be more than powerful enough for most kinds of flying. Those who may have flown a few smaller jets might even want to use it to help them keep moving up to full-sized model turbine aircraft.

Traxxas 1/16 E-Revo VXL Brushless 4WD Truck

With brushless motors that can take this monster truck to speeds legitimately in excess of 50 MPH, it’s a great gift for those who want something that’s going to really tear up the course. It comes with Traxxas’ stability management technology built into it, so you can be sure that it won’t slip nearly as much as models that use purely manual controls. It’s an excellent option for model racers of most skill levels, which makes it a great gift.

If you have someone on your list that’s always hard to buy for, then make sure to contact the RC Superstore online for a little more advice.
