RC Trucks (short for remote control trucks or radio controlled trucks) are probably the most popular remote control vehicles on the market today.
The popularity of remote control trucks is due mainly to their versatility. They can be used off road and on road, with some radio control gas powered trucks
reaching speeds of up 40 mph!
R/C Trucks come in many shapes and sizes, with different power sources and different prices. Some rc trucks come preassembled (called RTR or
ready to run) while others come in kit form and must be assembled by you. The RTR rc trucks tend to be a little more costly (not much though) so if
you are looking to save some money and don't mind assembling your new remote control truck yourself, you may want to try an rc truck kit.
Here is where I have found some excellent information on the various rc trucks available along with the best pricing,selection and service.
Below is an introduction to the 3 different kinds of rc trucks: MONSTER TRUCKS, The Radio Control Buggy, and RC Stadium Trucks.
MONSTER TRUCKS
R/C monster trucks are built tough and built for climbing. These rc trucks are perfect if you plan to run your remote control truck over a lot of
different terrain. They come with heavy suspension, big nubbed tires and are available in both 2WD and 4WD.
The engines on rc monster trucks typically kick out tons of
horsepower which translates into LOTS of POWER.

for making those big jumps. They are quite wide, have extra tough
suspension and large tires.
