4 Best All Terrain Remote Control Cars & Monster Trucks

Perhaps no other name is associated with all terrain model vehicles like Traxxas is. Their remote control cars and trucks are always designed with off-roading in mind, and therefore they're always going to top the list of any collection of vehicles designed for hardcore riding. Some RC model enthusiasts have actually suggested that they wouldn't want to have anything else in their collection if they plan on taking things outside.

We took a look at everything in stock at the RC Superstore and found the following four great options for drivers regardless of skill level.

1. Traxxas Maxx 4S RTR 4x4 RC Monster Truck

With full 4S capability, this version of the Traxxas Maxx can actually go over 60 MPH and bash around just like a larger Traxxas vehicle. That makes it a great pick for those who are looking for a relatively entry-level monster truck but it's still a perfect vehicle for more experienced model drivers. Like all Traxxas vehicles, this Maxx monster truck kit is designed to be tough and comes with a heavy-duty housing and GT shocks that feature larger diameter shafts than you'd normally found on something this size.

2. Traxxas Hoss 4x4 VXL Brushless Monster Truck

Since this Hoss kit is ready-to-run, you won't have to worry about going to track down a battery or a charger. Everything that you need, including the controller, comes back in this 3S kit. It comes with a LiPo power pack and features an onboard TQi 2.4GHz radio system. Heavy-duty drive shafts give you true 4WD action. Each of the bundled Sledgehammer tires is capable of accepting all of the power that this particular model is capable of dishing out, which gives the Hoss the ability to eat through even soft dirt that would have otherwise gotten stuck in the running gear of any lesser vehicle.

3. Traxxas 1/16 Summit 4WD Brushed Monster Truck

Precision is the name of the game when it comes to the Summit 4WD truck. The onboard 2.4GHz controller doesn't require racers to manage their frequencies, even if they're competitively driving with several other people. You're instead free to run multiple vehicles alongside one another while enjoying genuine 1/16 scale RC racing action. It even comes complete with real oil-filled threaded-body shock absorbers.

4. Traxxas X-Maxx 8S 4WD RTR Monster Truck Combo

The first thing that anyone notices about this vehicle is the 6,700 mAh battery, which should provide more than enough charge for almost anyone who needs to tackle long racetracks. The kit even includes a spare, so you can drive it for twice as long even under relatively grueling conditions. This truck is built around a brushless DC motor, so you shouldn't run into any difficulties that require you to install or swap out tiny parts just to keep a big truck out on the racing lanes.
