If you've been waiting for FMS to reveal its FCX18 II with a Toyota Land Cruiser body, your wait is officially over. The FCX18 II Toyota LC80 joins the FCX18 II Ford Bronco and the FCX18 II Ford F-100 in the FMS lineup of 1/18-scale crawlers and trail trucks. Keeping its knack for scale detail […]
Losi has released another 2026 NASCAR RC Car option into its lineup, and it's a beauty. Brad Keselowski's #6 Castrol Ford Mustang for RFK Racing is now available, and it's an interesting addition to Losi's 1/12 lineup considering Brad has announced he will leave Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing at the end of the 2026 NASCAR […]
The FCX18 II platform from FMS rolls on, thanks to the release of the 160mm wheelbase FCX18 II 2021 Ford Bronco. Based on how much FMS had been talking about the Toyota Land Cruiser 80, I was almost certain it would be the first "shorter wheelbase" body offered on the FCX18 II, but I was […]
It's time for another custom rig review. This time, I'm taking you on a tour of my Traxxas TRX-4M "InJeepra". What started as a 1/18-scale Ford Bronco (or Land Rover Defender...I can't remember which) has been transformed into a Jeep Wrangler-like vehicle with plenty of Injora upgrades, brass bits, and scale accessories. My Traxxas TRX-4M […]
After the release of the SCX30 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro a few weeks ago, I figured that was it for new SCX30 releases in 2026. Boy, was I wrong. Axial dropped a surprise on micro crawler fans with the release of the SCX30 Jeep CJ-7, an amazingly detailed trail runner and rock crawler. As they've […]

Whether you're interested in giving […]
Little Guy Racing Parts has released its High Clearance Aluminum Link Kit for the popular SCX30 platform. Designed to work with 99mm wheelbase SCX30 models, this machined aluminum chassis and suspension link upgrade set should help your micro crawler clear obstacles with greater ease, all while looking sharp. This link set is made of billet […]
Traxxas isn't the first brand that I think of when considering comp-focused micro crawlers, but if their upcoming TXC-4M Extreme Crawler is any indication, that opinion is about to change. Known for its standard and large-scale go-fast and crawler models, Traxxas is a well-known name in the small-scale space with its 1/18 LaTrax Rally, Desert […]
I may not be new to the R/C hobby, but I am fairly new to the drift scene. My Redcat RDS got me going, but I honestly haven't driven that car in more than two years. After HPI introduced their Stage-D10 Drift Car, my interest in drifting was mildly piqued, but their release of the […]
While my main passion in the R/C scene is crawlers and trail trucks, I'd love to venture into the speedier side of the hobby from time to time. The folks at Hobby Plus gave me the chance to take a closer look at their new 1/24 Speck-T Brushless Stadium Truck, and let me say...it's one […]
