I'm (my kids) treating myself to a simple fun RC car for Fathers day. Looking at spending under the $80 mark. Any tips?

we have a swimming pool and we got a couple RC boats that we race in it over winter while the water is too cold to swim in,

  I have one of these and love it, but it's already more than $80 and you have to be prepared to put a fair bit more money into it. Spare batteries, a decent charger, parts when you crash. Same deal with the person who suggested the 12427 below.
  
  Good value cars, but OP will need to be prepared to spend a fair bit more than $80.

Kmart sells some for $12 or $15 that use 3x Aa in the car and two in the remote

Thanks. I think it's the 12427 or 144001. See which comes on sale first. Get the kids to give me a IOU RC car voucher to me!
