Electric RC Cars and Trucks

Electric RC cars and trucks initially gained popularity because they’re generally easier to run and more affordable than those with gas or nitro engines. You just charge your RC car’s battery and install it in the chassis — then you’re ready for action! Electric remote-control cars also make less noise, so you can run them almost anywhere, and you don’t have to tune or break in their motors like you would with gas or nitro engines. Equipped with a rechargeable battery pack, an electric RC car with a stock motor will provide about 10 to 15 minutes of run time. With multiple batteries and a quick charger on hand, electric RC cars are ready for hours of nearly uninterrupted use. Thanks to advances in electric power technology — such as brushless electric RC motors and LiPo batteries — fast electric RC model cars can reach speeds only gas- or nitro-powered vehicles could. They can also be tweaked for better performance with upgrade parts, electronics, and accessories. You can find virtually any vehicle type you’d like to drive in an electric RC model, with factory-assembled completion levels such as building an RC Kit or driving an Ready-to-Run (RTR) making it incredibly easy to get behind the wheel.
