Radio Control Cars and Trucks

Introduction to Radio Control Cars and Trucks

The variety of products in our selection includes the highest quality brand names. We have nitro and electric R/C cars and trucks consisting of brands such as Traxxas, Team Losi, Kyosho, OFNA, Associated and CEN Racing. Along with the selection of RC vehicles we offer quality parts and accessories if you are looking to upgrade or repair your RC car or RC truck. RC cars are great for super high speeds on the road. RC monster trucks and RC stadium trucks are awesome machines for stomping over dirt, rocks grass, anything you can think of!

R/C cars, R/C monster trucks and R/C stadium trucks come in just about any size you can imagine. From 2 inches to over 2 feet, we have vehicles to suit any environment. Micro RC cars can be as small as 1:66 scale (less than two inches,) like the Digi-Q cars. They can also be up to 1:24 scale (about six inches) like the fully functional Xpress Mini-X or 1:28 scale Kyosho Mini-Z cars. R/C monster trucks are shrunk to 1:28 scale like the Kyosho Mini-Z Mad Force monster truck. Just like all 1:10 scale R/Cs, you can upgrade these cars and trucks and make them even faster!

R/C cars and R/C trucks come in two varieties; nitro (gas) or electric. Electric R/Cs are less expensive, quieter and require less maintenance than their nitro counterparts. This makes them more feasible for newcomers to the RC hobby world. These electric vehicles are powered by rechargeable battery packs which take 15-20 minutes to charge and run for 5-10 minutes. They can reach speeds up to 30 miles per hour.

Nitro RCs are much more powerful and faster than electric RCs. These vehicles are powered by small internal combustion engines and gasoline. Gas RC cars and trucks are often able to reach speeds of 50 miles per hour stock right out of the box. With modifications their performance can be increased to reach much greater speeds. Nitro R/Cs are louder and require more maintenance than electric R/Cs so they are generally desired by the more experienced hobbyists.
