An RTR (Ready-to-Run) RC vehicle comes fully assembled with its electronics and radio installed, so you only need to charge up and drive. An ARTR (Almost Ready-to-Run) model is mostly assembled but needs a few items added, typically a battery and charger and sometimes a radio system. A kit is built by you from the ground up and usually requires you to supply the motor, ESC, servo, radio, battery, and charger. Each product description lists what is included and what you still need.

Scale describes the size of an RC model compared with the full-size vehicle it is based on. A 1/10 scale car is one-tenth the size of the real thing and is the most popular size for racing and bashing. A 1/8 scale vehicle is larger, heavier, and usually more powerful, while 1/16, 1/18, and smaller scales are compact and great for backyards or indoor driving. Tires, bodies, and most parts are scale-specific, so always match parts to your vehicle’s scale.

Brushed motors are simple and affordable, which makes them common in entry-level RC cars. Brushless motors are more efficient, faster, run cooler, and need less maintenance. Brushless motors are rated in kV (RPM per volt); a higher kV generally means more top speed and a lower kV more torque. A brushless motor needs a brushless-compatible ESC, and our motor and ESC combos take the guesswork out of matching them.

Pre-mounted tires come already glued to wheels, so you can bolt them on and drive. Unmounted tires come without wheels and must be glued to a compatible wheel using RC tire glue, such as the CA tire glue in our Tire Prep section. Racers often choose unmounted tires to pick their own wheel and insert combination. For foam tires, the shore rating indicates hardness: a lower shore number is softer and grippier, and a higher number is harder and longer-lasting.

LiPo batteries deliver the most power and runtime for their weight and are the most popular choice, but they require a LiPo-compatible balance charger and careful handling. NiMH batteries are durable, forgiving, and beginner-friendly but heavier with less punch. LiFe batteries are very stable and are often used for receiver and transmitter packs. Before buying, check your vehicle’s maximum voltage (cell count, shown as 2S, 3S, and so on), the connector type, and the battery tray dimensions.

Always use a charger with a LiPo balance-charge mode, never leave a charging LiPo unattended, and charge on a non-flammable surface or in a LiPo safety bag. Avoid running packs below about 3.0 volts per cell, and store them at a storage charge of about 3.8 volts per cell when not in use. Stop using any battery that is puffed, damaged, or hot, and dispose of it properly.

For most beginners we recommend a durable RTR (Ready-to-Run) vehicle. Monster trucks and short course trucks are great for bashing in yards and parks, rock crawlers are slower and ideal for trails and obstacles, and mini/micro RC cars are perfect for indoor fun and small spaces.
