The Rc Monster Trucks have become very popular in recent times and now caters for a huge sector of the remote controlled vehicle’s market.  These can be purchased either in kit form or in ready-to-run form and are available in either as electric, gas or nitro powered. They come as both non-scale and scale models. By scale, it means the truck has been designed following the real monster truck model such as the “Bigfoot”. The modern day monster rc trucks have an excellent record of performance and quality and compete with other rc top notch rc vehicles in the race track. The strong body build makes rc trucks adaptive to large amount of pressure and shock when driving and makes it impossible to roll because its wheels are widespread. This makes it adaptive to any kind of terrain drive, the same way the real vehicle is.

Those hobbyists looking for sheer power can go for the nitro powered monster truck such as the Traxxas T-Maxx Monster Truck. This model is a very good example of a nitro rc monster truck and is a good choice for any hobbyist who wants to get serious about rc monster trucking. This is because of its enormous power with its 3.3 racing engine and a four wheel transmission system topping speeds of 45 mph.  These rc trucks are capable of handling almost any thing thrown at them because of their sheer power. They have the same exhilaration feeling when driving on on-road as well as of road.

Those hobbyists who do not want to go deep into the world of nitro powered monster trucks can as well try out the electric monster rc trucks such as the Traxxas Stampede which is a classic option. Although it does not have the model power of a nitro one but it certainly puts in effort with a modified 500 electric motor and race style type of transmission. Furthermore, it is build strongly to handle many kinds of typical monster truck situations. A model such as the Revo is RTR, so one simply has to charge the batteries and just drive.  Some of the best features a hobbyist can have in electric rc trucks are found in the Traxxas Stampede, adding to some major performance unexpected in an electric vehicle.

Electric rc trucks such as the monster “stampede” are able to give you around 15 minutes of drive time from a standard battery pack. It is therefore a good idea to have a spare pack of battery power allowing fro driving and charging at the same time. Monster trucks can be 2 or 4 wheel driven depending on the model. The difference comes in traction. The top speed of the rc truck is not normally affected regardless whether it’s a 2 or 4 wheel drive depending on the model. A monster truck with all four wheels powering it is able to move over any heavier terrain compared to a 2 wheel drive monster truck. Four wheel drive monster rc trucks have slightly more complex system. The rc trucks these days are generally user friendly with features such as the transmission system designed to be simple and maintenance free as possible.
