Notable due to their huge tires and suspension arms, rc monster trucks are a lot of fun on any terrain. Here is a brief look at the components you will find on most rc monster trucks.

Tires: Again, the tires on rc monster trucks are huge, with deep treads and or spikes for extra grip.

Suspension: The suspension arms on rc monster trucks are LARGE and can take a pounding (just like the real thing). Here is a look at the Traxxas T Maxx tires and suspension arms.

Engine: Usually packed with plenty of horsepower, r/c monster truck engines are some of the most powerful on the market. 

This is a look at the  Nitro Star 21 BB engine found in the HPI Savage 21 monster truck.

Most rc monster trucks come with 4 wheel drive and a two speed transmission for extra torque.

Because the rc monster trucks are built for power and durability, they are not the fastest rc vehicles on the block. However, many of them can reach speeds of 15 - 20 mph.

Kit vs RTR: Like most other r/c trucks and cars, you can usually decide whether or not you want to assemble your truck yourself or have it shipped to you pre-assembled.

Nitro vs Electric: Again, the choice of engine (nitro vs electric) is up to you. For a more detailed discussion on r/c nitro trucks vs electric radio control trucks click here nitro vs electric remote control trucks
