Another soda-can RC car showed up — this one an Aston Martin scheme — because one is cool and two means you can race.
I bought another cola-can-sized RC car (different color scheme than my first). The can holds the car, remote, a screw-in antenna and four cones for a mini course. Here is charging from the remote, the lights, the 49 MHz note and a wood-floor drive. The button goes to the mini can RC car on Amazon.
- Packs into a real can-sized case with cones
- Remote charges the car
- Headlights look great at speed
- Fun turning radius on smooth floors
- Easy race-against-a-buddy setup
- Needs two AAs for the remote
- Rough outdoor pavement is harder to control
- Alignment can pull left when new

What’s in the can
Antenna screws into the remote and extends. Four cones for an obstacle course. Remote has a side hatch with a short charge cable that plugs into the car, plus a wheel-alignment knob and on/off. This one is 49 MHz — keep channels different if you run several.
Lights and drive
Forward spins the rears and lights both headlights; reverse lights the passenger taillight only (same on my other can car). Smooth tile, hardwood or linoleum is best; outdoors on rough sidewalks is fun but less precise. On wood, mine pulled a little left until charged and driven — still a blast, hard to keep up with, impressive turning radius.
Verdict
You do not have to be a kid to enjoy a soda-can RC car. Pack two and race.
