About RC Electric Trucks

Remote Control or RC Electric Trucks are usually 1/10 scale powered by a Mabuchi 540 stock motor and a 7.2 volt battery. Speed is controlled either by a mechanical speed control or an electronic speed control. Almost all models are 2 wheel drive.

These trucks have long shock absorbers and big rubber tires, and can be run off-road or very rough terrains such as dirt and on the beach.

1/10th scale rc electric trucks are probably the best rc model to buy for a beginner. They are durable, can be played on or off-road, and can jump ramps. Lots of fun.

 "My first true rc car was actually an rc electric truck. It was a 1/10 scale Tamiya Ford Ranger XLT. I was probably 9 years old at that time, over 20 years ago, but I still remember that rc truck and the years of fun I had with it. My parents bought it in Hong Kong, and I played with it in Brunei and the Philippines." - Joel
