We purchased the Top Race RC Rock Crawler so that our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and evaluate it. Read on for our full product review.

The Top Race RC Rock Crawler is a car that stands out from other affordable RC cars on the market. It has a small, compact design that is easy to pack, bright, kid-friendly colors, excellent handling, and most importantly, waterproofness. All of this makes it an affordable and durable RC car that can handle rougher terrain. Read on to see how it performed in our tests.

The Top Race is a 1:18 scale miniature monster truck measuring 12 x 5 x 6 inches (LxWxH). A red body makes it stand out against the grass and asphalt, while the hard plastic body, screws and PVC tires give it a sturdy design. The car comes with four included AA batteries, which go into the car's chassis, and three AAA batteries for the accompanying remote control.

The transmitter, or remote, is similar in size to the car. Bright red, with a handy on/off switch so we didn’t waste battery power. We liked how the remote felt in our hands: large but not clunky. We also liked the large wheel on the transmitter, which is used for the Top Race’s front steering. This would also fit a child’s hand nicely, and comes with a rubber steering wheel for easier grip when accelerating forwards and backwards.
