Here are a few things that you should think about when buying an RC car for someone else.

• Where will they drive it?
• If they live on a farm for example, they might want to drive it in the paddock or in long grass so you should look at getting an RC truck with large wheels
• Have they had an RC car before?
• If so, they might want something better, or different to what that have currently
• If not, it might be best to get them a beginner level RC car
• Make sure you have everything
• Many cars need a battery (or fuel), charger and AA batteries for the remote controller. To check, scroll down to the bottom of the product page and see the "Required Items (Not Included)" section.
• Packaging:
• Most RC cars will come in either a blank cardboard box or in black plastic (no branding)
• Most Axial cars will come packaged in the original Axial box (which has Axial's logo on the side)
• Most Rovan vehicles come in a blank box with the words "RC CAR" on the side

Tip: Unless they've specifically asked or expressed interest in on-road RC cars, off-road vehicles are a safer bet as they are more versatile as they can drive on the road and off-road.

Some RC cars are classified as dangerous goods because they include a LiPo battery. You can tell an RC car is dangerous goods if it has a warning note like this one:

If you need your RC car sent by express post ensure it doesn't have this warning and you select the option during checkout.
