Hobby RC Trucks are available in a vast selection of electric and nitro fueled engines. From 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive of pure raw power. And I guarantee you that there is a radio controlled hobby rc truck on the market with your name on it! These bad boys can reach speeds of up to 65mph and are the perfect alternative to a lazy day in the house, and a nice way to get the kids outside for a couple hours.

For those of you that want to get down and dirty and have some real fun with your RC vehicle, I would suggest choosing an RC monster truck. They are versatile, powerful and rip across rugged terrain at speeds you never knew you could reach. With brand names like Traxxas and HPI Racing you just can’t go wrong. So which one is best for you or your kids? Well, then you need to ask that vital question – electric or nitro?

If you’re thinking electric, look to Traxxas. The company has been producing state of the art radio controlled hobby rc trucks and cars for years, and has amassed quite a following in the process. The Traxxas Stampede is a best seller and recently received a design overhaul. Between its ability to reach speeds over 30 miles per hour, it’s 2wheeldrive capacity, and its talent of crushing cars like aluminum cans, the remote control Traxxas Stampede or Traxxas E Maxx is a perfect option for anyone wanting a re-chargeable monster truck.

If you want to kick your hobby rc truck up a notch or twenty, then consider going nitro. Traxxas, again, takes the lead with these. Their award winning gas powered hobby RC trucks receive nothing but applause in the RC world. You might also want to consider going with HPI. The HPI Savage X is one of the hottest RC nitro trucks currently on the market.

These hobby rc trucks also need a little maintenance. But maintenance doesn't have to be a scary word. You simply need to follow the instructions that come with your RC truck - it has everything you need to know about maintaining, tuning and upgrading it. The biggest mistake that beginners and even professionals make is not reading the instructions! After a few uses, make a quick inspection of your truck - check to see if everything is in place. You may need to tighten or clean your rc components.
