Another day, another set of upgrades for the SCX24. This time around, I'm taking a first-hand look at Injora's 1.0" Beadlock Wheels for 1/24-scale R/C crawlers like the Axial SCX24, Carisma MSA-1E, Element RC Enduro 24, and others. Injora sent me a set of their 1.0" Beadlock Wheels ($19.99) to test out on my SCX24 […]
Axial's latest SCX24 release takes the style and off-road ruggedness of the 1:1 Jeep Gladiator and shrinks it down to the small, yet capable, size of 1/24-scale. The SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator features an array of visual scale details, a long wheelbase (over 6"), and the same trail-ready performance found in the rest of the […]
Axial isn't the only brand releasing small-scale machines today. Carisma has announced its latest 1/24-scale crawler, the MSA-1E 1968 Land Rover Series IIA. Riding atop its well-established small-scale crawler chassis, this version of the MSA-1E offers up old-school appeal with its "Classic Green" Land Rover Series IIA body. This model features Carisma's Gen-2 motor, crawling-specific […]

Without a doubt, drifting is one of the more unique forms of motorsport. From the unmatched car control to the roar of the engine and screaming, smoking tires, it's a primal form of sensory overload. Naturally, the R/C hobby is an excellent fit for recreating 1:1 drift action, but there haven't been many small-scale drift […]
Injora's been on a tear lately with its 1/24-scale crawler upgrades. Their wheels, tires, and other chassis enhancements offer some great, budget-friendly ways to customize your small-scale trail machine. In a recent Instagram post, it appears that they'll soon be branching out into bodies with a tease of an upcoming Ford F-150 lid. The old-school […]
When the weather outside is less than ideal for R/C fun, you can always enjoy hours of indoor entertainment with a small-scale R/C machine. The folks at Carisma have announced a new addition to their GT24 lineup with the GT24D RTR Subaru STi Drift Spec (#85168). This 1/24-scale drift car is built on Carisma's versatile […]
Upgrading and customizing small-scale crawlers such as the Axial SCX24 can be both fun and costly. Depending on what you're looking to add to your 1/24-scale crawler, you can quickly exceed the price of the base vehicle itself. Thankfully, there are brands like Injora which offer budget-friendly, performance-focused upgrades that will let you customize to […]

Ending the year on a high note, Carisma has announced the GT24B "Special Edition" ready-to-run buggy. Featuring a green/gray/black color scheme and lime green wheels, this buggy is a […]
