FAQs for RC Short Course & Trophy Trucks
Short course trucks are modeled after the popular short course racing vehicles with enclosed wheels and scale bodies, while desert trophy trucks feature exposed suspension components and are designed to tackle rougher terrain. Both offer great performance, but short course trucks tend to be more popular for track racing, while trophy trucks excel in open desert-style conditions. Brands like Traxxas and Losi offer excellent options in both categories.
Most RC short course trucks come in 1:10 scale, though you can find options in other sizes. The 1:10 scale provides the perfect balance of speed, performance, and durability that most people love. These vehicles are large enough to handle rough terrain but compact enough to use in your backyard track.
Yes, many RC short course trucks come as ready-to-run (RTR) vehicles, meaning they include everything you need to get started right out of the box. Some high-performance models from brands like HPI Racing or Team Associated may require additional components. We stock both RTR options and kit versions that let you build your truck from the ground up.
Boost your truck's performance by upgrading to a brushless motor system for increased speed, installing aluminum wheel hex sizes for better durability, or changing your pinion tooth count to adjust torque and top speed. You can also refine your vehicle's capabilities with different connector types, motor options, and drivetrain components. Our team is happy to help you select the right upgrades for your specific model and racing needs.
