Considerations Before Purchase

Understanding the difference between off-road, 2WD, and 4WD will help you decide which remote control truck is the best purchase. A 2WD vehicle is limited in its capabilities. Rougher terrain will be difficult for the remote control vehicle to traverse. However, off-road and 4WD will navigate bumpier roads. So before purchasing a remote control truck, determine where you will use it and make your choice.

It’s also a good idea to think about the battery life. Remember, playing with a remote control vehicle by yourself isn’t as fun as racing, so remember to pay attention to the radio control, its distance, and signal interference. 

How We Chose

So many remote-control trucks are on the market, and we determined that choosing the best one would come down to product reviews. A mediocre remote-control truck isn’t going to get good reviews. Therefore, we selected some 5-star trucks, and the rest are 4.5-stars. Of course, the price was a factor, but sometimes you have to pay a little more to get a quality product.

The differential smoothly transitions your remote control vehicle’s speed. If you choose the waterproof truck, which sounds like a blast, the IPX4 water-resistant rating means your vehicle will withstand splashes of water from all directions.

These cool, blue remote-control vehicles have two LED lights and a 2.4GHz proportional throttle control that gives you up to a 164-foot range. Think of all the fun you could have, especially with that waterproof truck!

There’s also a shock absorber system: another way to keep your remote control vehicle from flipping over when racing on those bumpy roads.
