Drive a real Nikko

The game features 10 exclusive Nikko cars, spanning several decades of RC history. Drive trough water at top speed with the VaporizR, blast your way to the finish with the N-Blaster or go for vintage with the Champion Kart – one of the first Nikko vehicles. All vehicles are based on the real RC cars, and each has its own unique driveability.

Nikko RC Racer is fully focused on racing against your friends. Race with 10 exclusive Nikko cars on 9 different tracks. When you connect with Facebook, your replay is saved in the cloud; You can see the ghost replays of your friends and beat their times. This means you experience the thrill of an actual race, without having to be in the same session at the same time.

Win a Nikko

To celebrate Nikko’s 55th anniversary, they give away a real N-Blaster every week. To join the competition, simply download the game and start racing. Whenever you get a super fast time, or do an awesome trick, be sure to save the replay on EveryPlay. Each week, the coolest video wins an N-Blaster. Just to let you know, the real-life N-Blaster has a laser and can shoot missiles.
