1:10 Scale Ready-to-Run Nitro Monster Trucks

By , About.com Guide

Monster trucks excel in rough off-road terrain but can handle most any surface. Spewing dirt, climbing rocks, and doing jumps off ramps and hills make monster trucks an RC favorite. Traxxas pits its 1:10 scale monster trucks against the slightly larger 1:8 Scale models from Team Losi, HPI, and others.

Traxxas Revo:

2004-2006 R/C Pro Series, 2006 ROAR Monster Truck National Champion, and RC Car Action Reader's Choice Hall of Famer, the Revo upped its peak power with the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine. If you're looking for power and top speeds in a nitro Monster Truck then you won't go wrong with the Revo.

Traxxas T-Maxx :

The T-Maxx has been described as the RC that popularized monster truck racing. Although upstaged by the newer Revo, it's still a formidable monster truck especially now that it offers the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine.

Traxxas Stampede:

Traxxas calls it their "Pit Bull" of RC trucks. A former RC Car Action Truck of the Year winner, the 2WD Stampede is a good beginner's choice in electric or nitro models.
