RC Monster Trucks - Bigger and Badder - How to Find a Good One

[caption id="attachment_143" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="RC Monster Truck"]RC Monster Truck[/caption] When shopping for a big, bad RC monster trucks, you will need to do a little research in order to ensure that you find the right one for all your RC trucking needs. A ready-to-run or RTR remote control monster truck includes a model kit, radio control system and equipment required for your truck to run right out of the box. This is ideal for beginners who are still new to the remote control hobby. In most cases, you will only be left with minor items to purchase such as fuel for the nitro engine and batteries for the radio control system. The radio control system of your remote control monster truck will comprise of a receiver, transmitter and servos. The transmitter sends signals to the receiver on your remote control monster truck, while the servos will use mechanical movement to steer the truck and control its speed. You will require 8 AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries for the transmitter, and 4 AA batteries for the receiver. You can find big and bad remote control monster trucks at hobby shops - whether online or at your local brick and mortar hobby shop. If you do decide to shop online, be sure to check your remote control monster truck for quality and only buy from well respected remote control toy manufacturers. For beginners, electric remote control monster trucks are recommended. Once you have had enough practice and experience you can go for the more difficult gas powered remote control trucks. If you have to buy the battery pack separately, you may opt for a 7.2v of either NiCad or NiMH. Although the NiCads are normally cheaper, the NiMHs tend to enable your remote control monster truck to run longer. Also select a higher MAH rating as this also means that your radio control monster truck will be able to run longer.
