Definition: An unpaved, usually outdoor surface is considered off-road to an RC vehicle. Off-road surfaces include loose or packed dirt, grass, unpaved or extremely rough roads, and rocky or uneven terrain.
RC vehicles such as 4x4s, dune-buggies, and monster trucks that can handle rough terrain and do not have to stay on a paved surface are off-road vehicles. They may also be called all terrain vehicles because they can drive both on-road and off-road. They typically sit higher off the ground than on-road vehicles, have knobbed or grooved off-road tires and are built with tougher suspensions and drivetrains so they can drive and race on dirt and grass, climb rocky hills, and jump over obstacles.
Outdoor tracks for off-road RC vehicles are usually dirt tracks with a variety of jumps (dirt ramps) and bumps or moguls.
Alternate Spellings: offroad | off-road
