    Hey guys,

    A bit of an oddball request here. I want to surprise my team with 3 or 4 remote control cars to race around the office with. Can you please help suggest a car (or multiple) that is user friendly, electric, fast enough that they're fun, and cost $100 or less?


    Thank you!

    Kenny

    The $100 cars are not very fast in case that's what you're expecting. Here's a decent option though:
    TowerHobbies.com | Thunder Tiger 1/10 TS2e EP 2WD 2.4GHz RTR Green
    Since you said it's for an office, I'd give them a call and ask about the floor surface you'll be playing on. Some of them come with slicks or a very low ride height while don't do well with carpeting, so you would need a buggy or truck style like this TowerHobbies.com | Revell 1/14 Jungle Storm Buggy RTR
    Their website has quite a few different options based on what you're looking for.

    These 1/24 brushless are perfect.

    I have a couple and they are very fast and durable for their size.

    Another poster above suggested the thunder tiger which I have some of their full size 1/8th scales and love.

    But for around the office, I would go much smaller like the one i linked to.
