Let’s be honest—RC lovers don’t want flowers, candles, or sappy cards. If your partner’s idea of romance involves LiPo batteries and high-speed crashes, you’re in the right place.
This Valentine’s Day, skip the boring gifts and get them what they actually want—something that screams “I love you” without forcing them to pretend they like scented bath bombs.
5 Perfect Valentine’s Day Gifts for RC Lovers
-
A New RC Car – Because Their “Favorite” One Is Already Half-Broken
Gift: ARRMA BIG ROCK 6S 4WD BLX 1/7 Monster Truck RTR
If your RC-loving partner is holding their old RC car together with duct tape and blind optimism, it’s time for an upgrade. The ARRMA BIG ROCK 6S is the monster truck to end all monster trucks—huge, aggressive, and built to crush anything in its way.
This beast eats curbs for breakfast and laughs at terrain that would destroy lesser trucks. Whether they love off-roading, jumping ramps, or just causing chaos, this truck can handle it. With massive tires, brutal torque, and a chassis that refuses to quit, this is the Valentine’s Day gift that says, "I love you—now go break stuff."
💗 Bonus Lovers’ Tip: Write "The only thing faster than this is you" in the Valentine’s Day card. Cringe does not exist in vacuum. It must be observed.

An RC Airplane – Because Relationships Are About Trust (and Learning to Land Properly)
Gift: E-Flite Twin Timber 1.6m BNF-B
Some RC planes are built for speed, some for tricks, and some just to survive their owner’s “learning process.” The E-Flite Twin Timber does it all. This twin-motor beast is perfect for slow, stable flights and STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) fun—ideal for RC pilots who want smooth control without sacrificing performance.
Got a partner who keeps nosediving their planes into the ground? This one has SAFE Select, meaning it’ll help them recover from their questionable flight decisions. Plus, with its oversized tires, it lands on grass, dirt, and even questionable terrain choices without issue.
💗 Bonus Lovers’ Tip: Tell them, “Just like this plane, I’ll always help you recover from a rough landing.” Cheesy? Yes. Effective? Absolutely.
-
A High-Performance Battery – Because Nothing Kills the Mood Like Running Out of Power
Gift: Spektrum Smart 3S 5000mAh LiPo Battery
Every RC lover knows the heartbreak of a dead battery mid-session. Fix that problem forever with a high-capacity, long-lasting LiPo battery. More power = more fun and fewer excuses to cut the date short.
This Spektrum 3S LiPo fixes that problem. It delivers longer run times, more power, and zero excuses for cutting the fun short. No lag, no weak bursts—just pure, unrelenting energy that hits hard and lasts longer. It’s basically the RC equivalent of an espresso shot with a side of adrenaline.
💗 Bonus Lovers’ Tip: If you’re feeling bold, write “Now we’ll last longer” on the card.
-
A Pro-Level RC Controller – Because Their Old One Has More Tape Than Functionality
Gift: Spektrum RC DX5 Pro
If your partner is still using a duct-taped, laggy RC controller from the Stone Age, it’s time for an upgrade. The Spektrum DX5 Pro delivers next-level control, precision steering, and lightning-fast response times—basically, it does for RC cars what better communication could do for your relationship.
This 5-channel powerhouse means no more excuses for losing races—unless, of course, they just aren’t that good. With an adjustable grip, ultra-responsive throttle, and rock-solid signal, they’ll get zero interference, instant reactions, and total dominance on the track.
💗 Bonus Lovers’ Tip: Inscribe "Finally, something you can control without an argument." Risky? Oh, absolutely. But hey, at least this one comes with a manual.
-
An RC Boat – Because Love Should Be Smooth, Fast, and Occasionally Capable of Flipping Over
Gift: Traxxas DCB M41 40' Catamaran RC Boat
If your partner already has RC cars and planes, it’s time to hit the water—because nothing says "I love you" like a 40-inch catamaran tearing across the lake at 50+ mph. The Traxxas M41 is built for speed, sharp turns, and pure chaos. It’s sleek, aggressive, and handles better than they wish you did in an argument.
This beast doesn’t just glide—it slices through water like a hot knife through butter, powered by a 6S brushless system that laughs in the face of common sense. If your partner lives for high-speed thrills and making waves (literally and figuratively), this is the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift.
Bonus Tip: Write "Let’s make waves together" on the card. Yes, it’s cringe.
Final Thoughts – The Gift They Actually Want
Valentine’s Day gifts should be fun, memorable, and actually useful—and nothing says ‘I love you’ like something that goes 80 mph and can jump a curb.
So, skip the chocolates (they’ll just melt in the toolbox), forget the roses (they’ll be dead in a week), and grab an RC gift that makes their heart race—literally.
