Electric Off Road RC Car
By far our most popular form of RC Car isElectric Off Road. They're also the most versatile vehicles to own and run, as there are many more places you can give them a run out in. They soak up the terrain with their suspension, can jump, and on the right surfaces even drift and power slide. With the advent of low maintenance Brushless Motor Technology andLithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries, waterproof electrics and 2.4GHz radio gear, electric RC has never had the run times, range or outright performance it has today. With 2WD and 4WD variants, Kits, ARTR (Almost Ready To Run) and Pre Assembled RTR (Ready To Run).

Put together abasic tool kitthat includes astiff brushto clean off dirt and debris after a run, Blue Thread Lock, a set of quality Hex Drivers, a Box Wrench, Side Cutters, Needle Nosed and Flat Ended Pliers, Flat Blade and Cross Headed Screwdrivers, Thin and (if Possible)flexible Cyano(orSuper Glue) for re gluing tyres,Diff Grease,Shock Oil,Bearing Oiland aWater Displacing Spray (Such as WD40 or GT85).
These are the basics needed to keep a vehicle well maintained, clean and ready for it's next run.
