There are so many great trucks on the hobby market right now that it's hard to pick a single one that's the best in every category. That's why we took a few moments to jot down what we felt were the four best for different users.

Chances are that one of these rock crawler kits offers everything that you're looking for as far as RC vehicles go. Any of them should also make a great gift!

Best Overall Kit: Traxxas TRX-4 4WD Crawler Chassis

If you're the type who likes to customize every last aspect of your favorite rock crawling truck, then you should love the TRX-4. It's ready to assemble chassis kit that comes with a TQi quad-channel 2.4GHz radio transmitter and receiver pair. The Titan 21T motor and included XL-5 HV ESC system are all waterproofed, so you won't have to worry about what kind of climate you plan to take your vehicle in once you have everything the way you like it. An internal cooling fan comes mounted to the motor, so you won't even have to put much thought into annoying situations where you might overheat things. The vehicle should be able to keep the motor cool in most cases.

Best Value Crawler: Traxxas TRX-4 Mercedes Benz G500

This scale and trail RC crawler might offer the most bang for the buck, which is why it's become so popular with those who want to add an additional vehicle to their scale model garage without breaking the bank. It features an ergonomic controller and a licensed design that makes you feel like you're driving a full-sized 4x4. Special scale details include a chrome grille, front skid plate, and even polished door handles. Full composite wheel wells and even floor pans are made from genuine nylon instead of a substitute material. It's no wonder people consider this the best value for their cash.

Greatest Scale Look: Chevy K5 Blazer 4WD RTR Rock Crawler Trail Truck

If you were to take a photo at a super-sharp angle, then you might mistake this Chevrolet K5 for a real full-sized one. The designers did that much work making sure each detail was exactly to scale. The chrome bumpers and side mirrors were polished to look like real ones. Unlike many models, it features a set of tinted windows. You could even install your own LED headlights and tail lights on it if you prefer because it includes the hard points needed to do so.

Best Entry Level Design: Traxxas TRX-4 Sport 4WD Trail Truck

Since this is a simple RTR model, you won't have to worry about tracking down components or assembling anything. That's quickly helped to make it one of the best options for newer scale model drivers who want to focus on improving their trail abilities before they start to invest in outside parts. The heavy-duty rod end suspension comes completed with a steel hollow ball installation to make sure that it can hold up to even the worst of conditions.
