Introducing HobbyPlus RC SPECK-SCT

( True 1/24 scale 2WD Short Course Truck )

Short-course racing traces its roots back to the late 1960s and early 1970s, evolving from long-format desert racing as promoters recognized the need for a more spectator-friendly format—one that allowed fans to see the entire battle unfold from a single vantage point.

Visionaries like Mickey Thompson saw the opportunity to bring off-road racing into stadiums across the country, where nimble mini trucks could race wheel-to-wheel and fender-to-fender under the lights on Saturday nights at local fairgrounds and baseball stadiums. For many, venues like the Pomona Fairgrounds became legendary, delivering the unmistakable atmosphere of race fuel, pinned throttles bouncing off rev limiters, and nonstop fan engagement—an experience unlike anything else in motorsports.

That same spirit made its way into RC in 2008, when short-course trucks exploded onto the scene and quickly became one of the hobby’s most iconic classes. Now, Hobby Plus brings that legendary era roaring back—this time in a true 1/24-scale platform—with the all-new Speck-SCT.

We didn’t cut corners—we sharpened them. The Speck-SCT preserves the same scale-correct proportional relationship you would expect between a buggy and a short-course truck, making it a genuine 1/24-scale SCT designed with authenticity, performance, and realism in mind.

Built on the race-proven Speck platform, the Speck-SCT shares more than 50% of its components with the Speck-B while introducing purpose-built short-course upgrades, including new front and rear shock towers, redesigned bumpers, a clipless front body mount, a chassis stretched by 13.5mm, longer side rails, and an upgraded 37T 050 brushed motor for improved drivability and punch.

But the Speck-SCT isn’t just built for the track. Influencers, media partners, and real-world drivers have already proven that the Speck platform can take serious punishment both on and off the racing line. From concrete skatepark abuse with RC Driver Online, to hands-on testing with SMRC, to big-air bashing sessions with Fil at Poor Boys RC, the verdict is clear: the Speck series may be one of the best budget-friendly bashers in the RC hobby today.

The Speck-SCT is built for everyone—from first-time drivers to seasoned racers, backyard bashers to competitive enthusiasts. Compact, scale-correct, durable, and ready for action, the Speck-SCT brings the golden era of short-course racing into the palm of your hand.
