FAQs for Off Road RC Cars

For general bashing, an Arrma or Traxxas 4WD truck is hard to beat. For technical terrain, a crawler. For competitive racing, a 1/8 buggy or truggy. It depends on whether you want to bash, crawl or race.

4WD handles loose dirt, sand and rough terrain much better — it's the standard for off-road bashing. 2WD is lighter and fine on groomed tracks, but struggles on uneven or loose ground. For parks and backyards, 4WD is the better buy.

1/10 is the sweet spot — big enough to handle rough ground, small enough to fit in the car. 1/8 is faster and tougher but heavier and pricier. 1/16 and 1/18 are great for smaller spaces.
