1/10 Shortcourse Trucks

The staple of club racing, shortcourse trucks are very common vehicles for people starting out in racing. They are best suited for tight tracks that require quick manoevers. Racing generally is split up into different "mains" depending on how many vehicles are participating in the event.

1/10 2wd Buggy

One of the smallest vehicles in the 1/10 scale catagory, 1/10 buggies are known for being the most nimble and agile in racing. They are often quite light and a little more difficult to drive than a 4wd vehicle much like the shortcourse trucks.

1/8th Buggy

Mini

For some good old fashioned fun, you can't beat a mini RC. They often can have a little difficulty getting around outdoor obstacles but are great regardless of their size.

Although they aren't "race" vehicles, monster trucks can be great fun when going around a track. They are a bit sluggish around the turns but can take the jumps with ease. The larger ones are quite the showpieces as well.
