The 4WD Mini RC Drift Car, 38.99. A 1:43 scale radio controlled car with four wheel drive and a 2.4 GHz controller, in one of four bodies styled after a BMW, a Ford, a Nissan or a Porsche.
Small, quick, sideways
Eleven centimetres of car with drive to all four wheels and slick plastic tyres, which is the recipe for drifting on a smooth floor. The controller reaches about 20 metres, so it works in a garden as well as a hallway. Four spare tyres come in the box because sliding wears them, and eight small traffic cones give you something to slide round.
Battery and charging
A 200 mAh 3.7 volt lithium battery in the car, charged over the supplied Type-C cable in about 30 minutes, for about 30 minutes of driving. The controller needs four AAA batteries, not supplied.
Spec
Scale 1:43, about 11 by 4.5 by 3 cm, around 40 g, plastic body. Instructions included.
Pick a body
BMW, Ford, Nissan or Porsche, chosen at order; the four photographs show each one.
The present it makes
For the child of a racing family who has been to every meeting and wants a car of their own, or for the adult who has finished fitting the seats and wants something to do on the kitchen floor.
