RC Monster Trucks

How big are RC monster trucks?
Sizes range from 1/18 scale trucks small enough for backyard driving to large 1/5 scale models over half a metre long. Bigger trucks handle rougher terrain better and clear larger obstacles, while smaller ones are easier to control in tighter areas and pack away when you’re done.

What motor types do RC monster trucks use?
RC monster trucks run on brushed or brushless electric motors. Brushed motors are simple and reliable, making them a solid choice for beginners. Brushless motors are faster, run cooler, and give your truck more torque to blast through rough terrain and hit higher speeds.

What driveline should an RC monster truck have?
4WD is best for steep climbs, loose surfaces, and uneven ground because it gives power to all four wheels for better grip. Some smaller or entry-level trucks use 2WD, which makes them lighter and simpler to maintain but limits traction when the terrain gets rough.
