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.

Zip-merging is fairer, faster and recommended by all the experts. So why do UK drivers refuse to do it?

Steve Walker is completely flummoxed as to why UK drivers can’t get their heads around this simple principle.
