Early models of radio controlled trucks were relatively crude by today’s standards. They were more like modified radio controlled cars with a different body and maybe some different wheels. Many of these older trucks were probably more for just looks and driving aroun d on smooth pavement or grass, because they would probably quickly break if really pushed hard on rough terrain. In addition, in the past vintage radio controlled trucks were pretty much all kits that required building and assembly. Today, the trend has changed and most of these trucks come assembled. It is now very common to see the acronym RTR (Ready To Run) to describe a fully assembled model. There are still some build it yourself kits available today, but kits are now the minority instead of the majority.
