Ready to Run RC Trucks

When you're ready to jump into the RC sport, a Ready to Run (RTR) RC truck makes a good option. They arrive pre-assembled and only need a few key parts to get started. Be sure to thoroughly read the product descriptions on these RC truck kits for other parts you may need.

In the future, you may want to upgrade your radio, accessories, and/or RC engine. Both of these influence performance when compared to the standard grade radios and engines available in some RTR truck kits.

Nitro or Electric?

Running nitro or electric refers to the power source of the RC vehicle. While many RC drivers like to learn both, most have a preference. Nitro racers find they have more pick up on the track but have increased maintenance costs and a sharper learning curve. Plus, nitro fuel makes a lot of noise that outsiders may not like, but many RC drivers love the sound, smoke, and exhaust smell nitro trucks generate. For a beginner, running electric is often a better choice. RC electric monster truck kits are generally easier to assemble and maintain. They also provide a "clean" power making them quiet.
