RC Cars And Trucks

When looking into the world of 1/6 Scale Rc Monster Trucks, it quickly becomes apparent just what makes gas powered radio controlled cars and trucks so special. In a word, it is speed that sets these great vehicles apart from all other radio controlled vehicles. As a matter of fact, there are gas powered radio controlled cars that can reach speeds in excess of 70 miles per hour, right out of the box, with no modification required!

With so many different kinds of radio controlled cars on the market, it is of course important to choose the right vehicle for your needs. If you plan to race, you may want to buy one of the fastest ready to run (RTR) gas powered RC cars on the market, or build your own using your own engine and other parts.

The most common size for gas powered RC cars and trucks is 1/10 scale. This is the industry standard for on road RC racing, and most standard gas powered RC cars are built on this type of chassis. In addition to the 1/10 scale, however, there are larger 1/8 scale models available, and these 1/8 scale vehicles are most frequently seen in off-road monster trucks and buggies. These 1/8 scale vehicles will typically come equipped with a two or three speed automatic transmission.

Gas powered RC vehicles come in both cars and trucks, and the cars break down further into touring and racing cars. These gas powered RC cars are best run on a smooth surface, such as a paved parking lot or an RC racetrack.

The other choice is to go off road with your gas powered RC vehicle, and these off road vehicles include pickup trucks, monster trucks and buggies. Although they are typically not as speedy as the RC racing cars, these trucks and buggies can put up some impressive speed numbers of their own. In addition, these vehicles are built to be extremely rugged and durable. In addition, they can be run virtually anywhere, from a smooth paved parking lot to the roughest and rockiest patch of ground.
