Kid-Tested: first RC cars rated by real kids

Specs come from manufacturers. Kid-Tested is the other half: what happens when an actual 7-to-12-year-old grabs the controller.

First tests coming soon

No scores yet, on purpose

We won't publish a score until real kids have driven the car. The first test sessions are being scheduled now. Scores will appear here as cards, one per car, as soon as a test is done.

How a Kid-Tested score works

1
Real kids, aged 7 to 12Each car is driven by kids in that age range, with an adult supervising and handling batteries and charging.
2
Four ratings, 1 to 5After driving, each kid rates the car 1 to 5 on speed, crash-proofing, fun and ease of driving, on a paper score sheet.
3
We average and publishWe show the average of every tester's ratings and how many kids tested it. We never edit a kid's score.

Privacy: no names, no faces

Testers are listed only as “Tester, age N.” We never publish a tester's name, face, school or location, and car photos are example photos of the car type, not of our testers.
