buyers guide
Hopefully the information on this page will help you decide which one of our RC Toys is right for you. When you are looking to buy an RC toy it is important to consider the after-sales backup - both in availability of spares and technical support if you do have problems.

At RC TOYS DIRECT we do our best to ensure we have all spare parts in stock that you may need. We also have a fast delivery service and prices that cannot be beaten on genuine RC products. We also supply a great help service for all our customers.

We would warn against buying RC helicopters on eBay or from discount web sellers - although they may appear cheaper you're unlikely to get any after-sales support; purchases from overseas sellers are likely to incur import taxes when the package eventually arrives.

RC HELICOPTERS
Buying a gift or want an easy-to-fly model helicopter?
We recommend one of our small 3 channel gyro helicopters as a good place to start. They give a great flying experience and anyone can simply take off, hover and land. With practice these little helicopters can be piloted anywhere with speed. Most recharge from the controller and not the mains, making them ideal for any age. For more information about 3 channel helicopters and how to fly them, please see GET STARTED on this website.

Looking for the best beginner RC helicopter?
We have a number of larger 3 channel helicopters that require charging from the mains making them not suitable for younger pilots. They are some of the very best model helicopters we have seen and they all have onboard gyro systems making them incredibly stable in flight. For more information about 3 channel helicopters and how to fly them, please see GET STARTED on this website.

Need more power and performance?
We have a number of great 4 channel helicopters now in stock. 4 channels give the helicopter outstanding manoeuvrability and let the pilot to perform many more in flight tricks. Although much harder to fly than one of the new 3 channel helicopters; a 4 channel with time is much more rewarding. Most of our new 4 channel helicopters have built in gyro systems making them much easier to fly than 4 channel helicopters from even 60 months ago. For more information about 4 channel helicopters and how to fly them please see GET STARTED on this website.

Other information to consider
We recommend co-axle helicopters i.e. 2 sets of blades turning in the opposite direction. Although single blade helicopters look great they without doubt are one of the hardest RC models to master. I personally have destroyed a number of them in a number of spectacular crashes. I now do not even consider a single blade helicopter as the fun for me is to get flying without any stress and have a good time.
Ready to fly?
All of our helicopters are pre-built and ready to fly. Simply insert the batteries into the controller, have a quick read of the instructions and away you go. On some of our models you may need to insert the aerial into the receiver, which is very simple to do and needs no tools.
RC CARS
Buying a gift or want an easy-to-drive model car?
We have a large selection of small cars to choose from. Most have a ‘wheel controller’ where you steer the car via a small steering wheel on controller. This wheel controller is by far the easiest way to operate a RC car and can be mastered within minutes. A great place to start is with one of our 1/28 scale battery cars. They are both easy to drive plus have good speed for any age of driver. For more information about RC cars and how to drive them please see GET STARTED on this website.
