Definition: The RC monster truck has oversized off-road tires, heavy duty suspension, lots of ground clearance, and is sometimes equipped with a wheelie bar. Other features vary by manufacturer but in the RC community, the monster truck is favored when stability and high ground clearance is required such as off-road driving on rugged, hilly or rocky terrain. But monster trucks are just as fun to drive on smooth surfaces even though they are typically less speedy than other types of RC vehicles.
RC monster trucks come in both electric and nitro versions and may be 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive.
