That's kinda bonkers. The leccy cars are pretty quiet. They are quite big and quite fast now though.
I got the sense from various forums that, when the lockdown was more restrictive, most owners were not running their cars at all and felt it was against the spirit to do so. I'd take one out with the toddler in case he got absorbed with rocks or something so I at least had something to do for 20 mins that wasn't staring at my phone and had an excuse for doing it. But we were in a deserted commercial / business landscaped street thing with nobody around.

It took me a while to decide whether this should go in bastard neighbours thread or here but here it is.
There's an almighty mostly passive aggressive storm brewing with my neighbours here in Blackheath. About once a week a chap brings his rather zippy engined radio controlled car to the heath and thrashes it around until he runs out of batteries. Usually no more than an hour. Always around about lunchtime, always as far away from people as he can get.
Keep in mind this is from people inside 7 to 10 figure value buildings several hundred meters away:
"I cant enjoy my living room anymore, I can't hear myself read"
"It worries my pets "
"Why would a grown man play with a toy car?"
It has even spilled over into Twitter. Apparently somebody even called the police on him recently.
I'd like to suggest that it's not the man enjoying his hobby that is the problem!
