Plantraco is a hobbyist shop founded in the late 1990s. They are still going strong today in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where they aim to bring their innovative, “hair-brained” ideas to life for all to enjoy. Their RC cars, planes, and mini blimps are built for Canadians of all ages who want to experience the feeling of holding something unique and never-before-seen in their hands. Inspired by the likes of James Bond and Wiley E. Coyote, this shop makes ‘SuperToys’ that fit the bill for exactly those types of innovations.
They continue to mass-produce their models for all to enjoy. Their ZenWheels line, for instance, can be controlled via an app rather than using a standard remote control. Their CarbonButterfly line includes ready-to-fly microplanes that are fully remote-controlled. Their newest Bluetooth-controlled MicroBlimps are fun for enthusiasts of all ages, too. You can find their entire line of RC cars, planes, and hobbyist parts on their website.
