Choosing And Buying An Electric RC Car or Truck

The important thing to remember when buying an electric rc car or truck is to choose a vehicle that suits your needs, budget, and the conditions in which you plan to run the kit. There are kits available for onroad and offroad, different sizes, and many different styles including Stadium Trucks, RC Monster Trucks, Buggies, Sedans, and other popular RC Cars and Trucks from many different manufacturers. I recommend beginners start with a vehicle from a reputable hobby quality manufacturer like Team Associated, HPI, and Traxxas but there are also cheaper toy style kits from companies like Tyco and Nikko available.

Ready to run kits are great for beginners. They come prebuilt and with just about everything you need to get started. For Electric RC Cars and Trucks, this should at least include a motor, a radio, servo, receiver, and an electronic speed control for sending the power from the batteries to the motor. If you decide to go with a build-it-yourself kit, make sure these items either come in the kit or purchase them seperately.
