Short Course RC Buyer's Guide
After years of racing these trucks, we know 2WD models make great starter platforms - they're simple to work on and teach solid driving skills. The extra traction of 4WD comes in handy for rough tracks and wet conditions, but they need more maintenance.
Your driving style matters more than specs on paper. A basic brushed motor RTR kit can be tons of fun for backyard bashing, while brushless setups give you the extra punch needed for competitive racing.
Why These Short Course RC Trucks Stand Out
- Race-proven durability in real competition
- Quality parts that won't let you down
- Both 2WD and 4WD options in stock
- Ready for bashing or racing straight away
- Field-tested in Finnish weather
- Full manufacturer backing
- Active racer community
- Loads of upgrade paths
Short Course RC Performance Notes
Our test track has seen hundreds of short course trucks, and modern models really take a beating. The oil shocks and adjustable suspension let you dial in the handling for your track, while sealed electronics handle mud and puddles without fuss.
Stock servos and speed controls give you precise steering and smooth power delivery right out of the box. These platforms take well to racing upgrades when it's time to step up the game.

FAQs about Short Course
What does short course mean in RC?
In RC, "short course" refers to trucks designed to replicate full-scale short course racing vehicles. These trucks feature durable designs for off-road tracks, realistic bodies, and enhanced handling for racing on dirt, gravel, and similar surfaces.
What makes a short course RC truck different from other RC trucks?
Short course RC trucks differ from other RC trucks by their scale-realistic design, wider stance, and ability to handle off-road conditions. They are optimized for jumps and rugged terrain, with enclosed wheels and bodies that protect components during races.
How fast does a short course RC truck go?
A short course RC truck typically reaches speeds between 30-60 mph, depending on the motor, battery, and modifications. Entry-level models achieve lower speeds, while high-performance versions with brushless motors can reach the upper range.
