While our old Tycos were fun to play with when we were little, they really don’t stand up to an adult’s definition of power. That’s why there are companies like Traxxas. Their Jato Remote Controlled Truck ($650) features an internal two-speed transmission paired with the TRX 2.5 Racing Engine. This may not sound impressive, but then you have to think — it does 55 MPH, and gets there in just 5.79 seconds — faster than a lot of cars.
