Toys that cross the gap between childhood wonder and adult devotion have traditionally been remote-controlled cars. They are the epitome of the exhilaration of handling a tiny powerhouse on wheels, the rush of speed, and the thrill of doing acrobatics.

A new genre of material has emerged on the internet in recent years, featuring some of the most astonishing remote-control car exploits ever documented. These maneuvers, which range from gravity-defying backflips to jaw-dropping hydroplaning, represent the pinnacle of RC car innovation and progression.

If you share our enthusiasm for these tiny speed demons, get ready for an exciting journey through 25 of the most amazing remote-controlled car stunts ever documented on film.

1. Epic BMX Mega Ramp

The MegaRamp at Woodward West, tucked up in the Tehachapi Mountains, isn't for the weak of heart. This ramp is a complex playground with a steep roll-in and a substantial 27-foot quarterpipe. Together with BMX great Morgan Wade and scooter rider Chandler Dunn, the Traxxas X-Maxx and the brand-new E-Revo display a combination of strength, accuracy, and pure exhilaration here. Some of the most outrageous RC car stunts are made possible by the combination of the E-Revo's elegant design and the X-Maxx's mighty power.

2. 2,000 ft. Extreme Hydroplaning

Have you ever imagined that an RC car could float on water? Equipped with paddle tires, the Traxxas X-Maxx demonstrates that it can! In this exhilarating feat, the X-Maxx defies gravity and science by taking on a 2,000-foot stretch of water. With the help of Traxxas Stability Management and optional high-speed gearing, this powerhouse easily navigates the water.

The renowned Glamis dunes are the ideal location for some RC vehicle magic. The E-Revo Brushless Edition, Robby Gordon Dakar Edition Slash, and Traxxas Rustler VXL are all featured in this video.

These models demonstrate some of the most fantastic RC vehicle stunts in the dunes while speeding through the sand.
