For most of us, remote control cars are toys. However, for some enthusiasts, they are more than toys
RC or remote controlcars are worshipped by children. In fact, when we were kids, we too played ample with RC cars. However, we never spent fortunes on RC cars because to us and our parents, they were toys, and spending fortunes on them made no sense.
Although there are some people in the world for whom RC cars are not merely toys. For them, RC cars are collectable objects whereas for a few others, RC toys are equipment used by them to complete several tasks. In the following, we have listed some of the most expensive RC cars in the world.

The Freefly Tero is not like other remote control cars found in the world. It is a remote control car that can be equipped with an expensive camera for film shooting from a low angle. The engine is a powerful electric unit mounted on a strong chassis and the small tyres of the vehicle are off-terrain ones so that a controller can drive the vehicle on any uneven surfaces.

At 1,700 US dollars, this is the second most expensive RC car in the world that we are aware of.
