Why the Xinlehong 9125 Sprint is the Best RC Car for Beginners
If you are looking into getting a first RC for yourself or someone else, look no further than our most popular car: the Xinlehong 9125 Sprint. Also known as the FMT, Tornado, and Hosim 9125, GP Toys S920 and likely more, there's a very good reason these cars have been so consistently popular over the years. And it's not just the sub-$160 price tag. Aside from 3 AA batteries for the hand controller, you get everything in the box you need to be up and running, including lithium battery, usb charger, hand controller, and some tools.
In fact, check out our quick-start guide to see just how easy it is to get into RC with the XLH 9125.
What makes this car so good? Firstly, it's easy to drive. With 4wd and a hi/low speed switch on the remote control, the Sprint is planted on any terrain and can be slowed down for younger drivers still getting the hang of things.
It's also tough, usually bouncing off most obstacles rather than getting truly hung up on them. The best thing about this car though, is that when you do eventually bin it hard enough to break something, the spare parts are readily available and cheap to buy. Grab yourself a small Philip's-head screwdriver and they are easily repairable, so you never have too much downtime with breakages.
