Dirt, rocks, mud, jumps — some RC vehicles are built to handle whatever the trail throws at them. FMS RC off road trucks and monster trucks are engineered from the ground up for drivers who demand capability, durability, and pure adrenaline. From technical rock crawlers with portal axles to high-speed short course trucks and wheelie-pulling monster trucks, this collection covers every off-road discipline.
Each off road RC car in the FMS lineup is built on a proven chassis platform with splash-proof electronics, full ball bearings, and metal gear servos as standard. Whether you are a beginner looking for an affordable entry point or an experienced driver chasing the next technical challenge, you will find a truck matched to your terrain and driving style.
Engineered to Conquer Dirt, Rocks, and Jumps
Off-road driving demands a vehicle that can take a beating and keep going. FMS RC off road trucks are built with high-strength nylon frames, metal planetary gear differentials, and 4-link suspension systems that deliver the articulation and durability needed for serious trail duty.
The diversity of the lineup means there is a truck for every kind of off-road adventure. The FSC18 Ford Bronco with its four-wheel independent suspension and licensed Nitto Trail Grappler tires carves through dirt at 45 km/h. The F-100 Monster Truck pulls wheelies on command with its adjustable wheelie bar and hits 55 km/h on 3S power. The Atlas 4x4 crawls over obstacles with a nylon roll cage protecting it through every rollover.
- Multiple Chassis Platforms for Every Driving Style Independent front suspension on short course trucks for high-speed cornering, solid axles with 4-link suspension on crawlers for maximum articulation, and reinforced 2WD platforms on monster trucks for big-air durability — there is a chassis engineered for every terrain.
- Splash-Proof Waterproof Electronics Full metal ball bearings across the lineup for reliable all-weather performance through puddles, wet grass, and muddy trails — drive with confidence in any condition.

Frequently Asked Questions about RC Off Road Truck
What is the difference between a rock crawler and a short course RC truck?
A rock crawler is designed for slow-speed technical driving over rocks and obstacles, featuring 4WD, solid axles, portal axles, and high ground clearance for maximum articulation. A short course truck is built for speed on dirt tracks and jumps, with independent front suspension, higher top speeds, and a lower center of gravity for cornering stability. FMS offers both types so you can choose based on your preferred driving style.
Are FMS off-road RC trucks waterproof?
All FMS off road RC trucks feature splash-proof electronics rated for wet conditions including puddles, damp grass, mud, and light rain. The receiver boxes and battery compartments are sealed against splashes, but the vehicles are not fully submersible — avoid deep water crossings that could flood internal components.
How fast can an FMS monster truck go?
The F-100 Monster Truck Brushless RS reaches up to 55 km/h (34 mph) on a 3S LiPo battery with its Hobbywing 3652-KV3300 brushless motor. The entry-level brushed version is tuned for fun rather than outright speed and performs best on a 2S LiPo battery. Both versions feature an adjustable wheelie bar to keep the truck planted during hard acceleration.
What battery do I need for an RS (Ready-Set) off-road truck?
RS (Ready-Set) models include the vehicle and transmitter but require a separate battery and charger. Most 1:10 scale RS trucks recommend a 2S LiPo 7.4V 5000mAh battery with an XT60 connector. Check the specific product page for your model's recommended battery specifications and compartment dimensions before purchasing.
Can a beginner drive an FMS off-road RC truck?
Absolutely. The FSC24 Chaser at 1:24 scale and the F-100 Monster Truck 2WD at 1:10 scale are both excellent entry points. They include everything needed in the box (RTR), feature durable construction that forgives beginner mistakes, and offer progressive speed control that lets new drivers build confidence before pushing the limits. Both are rated for ages 14 and up.
