HPI Mini Recon

Price: £99.99 Contact: 01283 229400, www.hpieurope.com

Best Buy: Despite its diminutive size, this 1:18-scale model is huge fun. The HPI Mini Recon truck has four-wheel drive and loads of power, but it’s easy to control and worked off-road as well as on the track. It was as well built as the other HPI cars on test, but is only half the price of the E-Firestorm at £100.
