If you are after the fastest RC Truck out there this year, let me save you some time, I have done the research for you. I have looked at a number of models, as well as speed, i have looked at the overall size, durability, waterproof rating and much more.<\/p>\n
What is the Fastest RC Truck for 2019?\u00a0In my opinion the HOSIM off-road RC car is number one for 2019, simply because it has two motors, and not only that, it has the speed you need, the truck is a beast and reaches speeds up to 30 mph, which should anyones needs for a Truck. <\/strong><\/p>\n To get a full picture of whats available, I have compared a number of different models. Therefore you can look at the speed ranges as well as make your own educated decision on the best truck for you.<\/p>\n In addition to this I have laid out some extra tips to help you when searching for an RC Truck. Before we delve into the comparisons let me explain a few common terms you will come across when you are looking at these models.<\/p>\n These terms refer to the inner working of the car and how the motor receives its charge. In a brushed motor, friction is applied to the motor, which causes less raw power to be used in the rotation of the wheels.<\/p>\n In comparison, Brushless motors do not use friction. Their efficiency is between 10-15% higher than brushed since most of the energy is used in the rotation rather than the noise and heat. If you want a faster car, go for a brushless car!<\/p>\n These strange letters (they\u2019re really the chemical compound) refer to the batteries used in the RC car. LiPo stands for Lithium Polymer. In general, the LiPo potteries have a much greater energy density which results in a greater discharge rate.<\/p>\n In layman\u2019s terms, LiPo makes your car go faster because of the overall increased power sent to the motor. In comparison, NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydrate) batteries have a lower energy density but are easier to maintain.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re just starting out, or you\u2019re getting something for a friend who\u2019s fairly new, go for a NiMH for now. Even though it\u2019s slower, it will be easier for beginners and then you can move up to the LiPo.<\/p>\n For all our nuances out there who aren\u2019t sure what this means, in the RC Car there are two gears- pinion and spur. Upgrading one or both will increase your top speed or your acceleration rate.<\/p>\n Looking at the gears individually, the pinion gear is located on the motor, typically made out of aluminum, steel, or titanium. The pinion gear impacts your top speed on the car and does so based on the number of teeth on the gear. More teeth equals a higher top speed rate.<\/p>\n If you want more speed, then you will need more teeth. For faster acceleration, you will need less teeth. Word of warning: work your way up to more teeth. Changing too many teeth too quickly could over heat the car and cause damage.<\/p>\n The spur gear works just like the pinion gear, impacting the speed and acceleration, through the difference won\u2019t be as prominent as the pinion gear. It works opposite to the pinion gear. So:<\/p>\n Change both for the best results.<\/p>\n Some vehicles that we mentioned, such as the Distianert 1\/12 4WD, carry extra weight. If you\u2019re looking to increase the overall speed and aren\u2019t as worried about the aesthetic of the car, get rid of as much extra weight as you can. The Distianert has the disadvantage in this regard.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a bigger car, or more, of a monster truck style car, in addition to your speed, the HOSIM Off-Road RC Car, Electronic Monster Truck 9125 (try saying that five times fast) is an excellent option!<\/p>\n Because it has two motors, the truck reaches speeds of 30 mph! In addition, it is equipped with an IPX4 Waterproof level, which is a fancy way of saying getting a little water on it won\u2019t destroy the truck.<\/p>\n This truck is optimized for off-road racing on a wide range of surfaces, such as wet mud or Astro turf<\/u>. The only major downside is you can\u2019t check the battery level and have to go on a whim. Still worth it when you consider the advantages!<\/p>\n Similar in style to the HOSIM Off-road RC Car, the truck reaches speeds of 30 mph. It has several advantages that the HOSIM doesn\u2019t, such as heavy duty wheels, strong turbines to help with stability, amazing controls!<\/p>\n With these advantages, the truck allows any hobbyist or anyone looking for a good gift to have speed and durability. Be mindful of the metal frame, though with the plastic over it, there is potential to lose the outer part of the truck as a whole. The car can drive through rough terrain better than most toy grade trucks, especially with the 4 x 4 traction.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don\u2019t be fooled by the flashy exterior, the Traxxas RTR\u00a01\/10 Rustler\u00a0 has one of the most powerful charge retentions and speeds up to 35 mph!<\/p>\n If you can forgive the easily broken cosmetic parts, the car offers distinct advantages. You can replace these parts with more sturdy upgrades.<\/p>\n The car\u2019s amazing off-roading driving comes from the S-Truck suspension. Plus the car is waterproof, similar to the HOSIM, which allows the drivers to use it through water, mud, snow, etc.<\/p>\n You shouldn\u2019t go further if you are looking for\u00a0 RC car which is very durable and enough sturdy that you wouldn\u2019t be afraid to share it with your friends and the best thing about it comes with more affordable price than others.<\/p>\n It has some exceptional qualities. As it names after its distinctive feature it can run on rocks with ease as it has enormous rugged deep tread off road tires. Built in two heavy motors and 4 wheel drive really helps it to boost the speed up and\u00a0 make it stand 4th in the list of fastest RC cars.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Are you just a beginner starting with RC car racing? Then you must get this one. It\u2019s a nice looking and durable car with a decent body design having same features similar as road crawler, but has a bigger body and more powerful engine.<\/p>\n Unlike road crawler, it\u2019s better good in off road driving, totally waterproof and has 9 deadlock tires. Moreover, it carries 3 millimeter steel ladder frame that\u2019s powder coated to prevent scratches. Its licensed \u2018super swamper\u2019 tires with extra traction make it drivable in precipitous paths.<\/p>\n Impressively ,it has some of its sensitive body parts metallic that other expensive crawlers have but it comes with those with a comparatively very less price. Its metallic parts allow it to be smooth while going at high speed and keep it safe in bumpy trips.<\/p>\n Traxxas trs4 Sport stands next in the fastest RC car count. It is second up level for RC car racers, possesses way much more speed than all the crawlers. It\u2019s upgraded one that comes in different series of cars.<\/p>\n So you really want to get into higher fast racing and willing to spend around more than $300 dollar, it\u2019s the buddy for you.

Why? Because it has remarkable performance, as it combines all major features of Traxxas cars\u00a0 in it within an average price rate such as big gripping tires, waterproof within and out with water resistant 5xl battery and 27 mega receivers and powerful engine.<\/p>\n Though, it has not that much tremendous caliber as trs4 sport, it\u2019s been more demanded perhaps it\u2019s cheaper than trs4 sport. It is prevailing in US in not more $200 that might be higher for you as you think of other cheap crawler RC cars, but it\u2019s a package of up level fun which gives you above average features and speed of 30mph which is higher than any crawler.<\/p>\n Do you want to get the classic one and something really big in size? Here it is! BIG FOOT as it is named after its enormous and sturdy design; it brings you a feeling of a monster truck with heavy vehicle driving feel.<\/p>\n It\u2019s one earliest big model that Traxxas made in oppose to other monster truck of other brands. Even after its huge armature it doesn\u2019t affect its speed not at all and it has an exceptional RC range to cover at least 80ft. It is built with a 3000mah battery and it\u2019s really made for prolonged fun.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a hobbyist that\u2019s just starting out and doesn\u2019t have a lot of money to drop, this is the RC car for you.<\/p>\n It\u2019s great for kids and provides the best customer service for its price. That being said, the car itself is nothing special. It\u2019s average at best, great for getting a hang of the controls and getting a lay of the land.<\/p>\n Designed with a typical non-roofed or buggy look; Double E1: 12 is a wide range RC racing car equipped with a 4 x 4 wheel drive for off-road surfing.<\/p>\n It features two driving motors; a front plus rear double motor enabling easy movement on most types of land terrain whether plain surfaced or rough.<\/p>\n Double E1: 12 is packed with a quadrupled number of articulated suspensions springs to absorb all shocks produced from vibrations which could cause a damage to the inner electrical components.<\/p>\n This RC car is finally packaged with a long life, high performing quality battery. And due to its flexible suspension springs and well designed tires, it is very difficult for it to get stuck. It is highly suitable for both crawling and smooth terrain racing.<\/p>\n The only shortcoming Double E1: 12 have is the price which is definitely above average for new hobbyists and a short time of racing because of the battery\u2019s duration (about 15 minutes). But if you are looking for a lifelike off-road dualistic RC car, then this might be just okay for you.<\/p>\n Placing an emphasis on a section of its name; Distranert 1:12 is a land-water high speed RC truck. It is fully equipped with a waterproof body part and ultra adaptive wide tires. Not only does it have the ability to crawl on rocky terrains, it can also maintain its motion with a speed of almost 2knm\/hour on water with a depth of approximately 50 meters.<\/p>\n If you are looking for RC truck that can move through virtually all terrains, then this is a good news for you because Distranert 1:12 can move even on muddy terrains, grasses and sandy surfaces without much difficulty.<\/p>\n Another supporting feature that maximizes its ability to adapt to any terrain, is the four wheel drive tech.
