The hobby world of RC trucks has changed a lot as of late, but it had to start somewhere.
Back in the day most RC monster trucks were the stadium style type and rode very low to the ground.
A good example of a stadium style RC truck is the RC10GT, this is a very awesome popular RC truck.
The problem with the older types of RC trucks is that they were too low to the ground and didn't have the clearance for off road terrain.
Because of this you - the RC enthusiast shouted for radio control monster trucks, and the companies answered.
These days with new technology and innovation remote control trucks are bigger, better and faster then ever.
Blast From The Past The earlier models of Remote control monster trucks are nothing compared to what you see today.
When they first started manufacturing RC trucks they looked like a regular RC car but with different customizations (ie: body and tires).
Many people thought they could take a beating on rough terrain only to find that their precious RC trucks would break as soon as they tried jumps or rock crawling.
You have to face it, those older RC trucks were meant for smooth ground - not rocks and jumps.
Also when you bought an RC truck in the early days you would have to assemble the truck yourself, these days they have ready to run (RTR) everything! The days of buying an rc car kit and building it yourself is over...
unless you like that sort of thing of course.
Back To The Future Today remote control trucks are in simple terms - absolutely crazy and fun! The RC monster trucks you see today are very realistic scale models, and I mean every muffler, window and tire to the detail.
Also RC trucks today are a lot faster then there predecessors as they can be powered by nitro/gas and high powered electric motors.
Nitro RC trucks are all the rage these days because they are super performance engines that can go up to 60Mph! RC nitro trucks are the very best and most popular type of remote control truck.
The engines in RC nitro trucks are super powerful.
Most nitroremote control trucks can last around 20 minutes until it needs to be re-fulled again.
The advantage of nitro RC trucks over electric RC trucks is that with nitro you just fuel up, but with electric you need to charge it.
If you don't have extra battery packs with an electric remote control truck then you will need to go home and charge it.
Who wants to stop driving the RC truck? Not me! Go with an Nitro RC truck, because the run time is far better then electric remote control trucks.
Don't forget that remote control nitro trucks have a realistic engines, completed with fuel system, carburetor, fuel lines etc.
These parts can get hot so I suggest not touching them or you might get burned.
What is the difference between RC car and RC truck? A lot of the times people can get confused between RC cars and radio control trucks.
Just remember that RC cars are usually meant for flat relatively smooth surfaces, whereas monster trucks are made for off road.
Here are some differences between RC cars and trucks.
Typically RC cars have a very low ground clearance and monster trucks have a very high ground clearance, this is pretty obvious.
Radio control trucks have great suspensions and RC cars have tight ones.
This allows an RC truck to have a lot more bounce off jumps without breaking the whole truck.
Radio control trucks have way bigger tires then RC cars do.
RC Cars are a lot faster then Trucks as they have higher gears which allows for some awesome acceleration.
As a general rule trucks are much larger in size then RC Cars and weigh more as well.
One last thing to keep in mind is that Radio control trucks are generally more expensive then rc cars because they are pretty heavy duty toys.
Radio control trucks are here to stay, the question is, will you be the one driving it, or your friends?
