Carisma tweaks and tunes their 1/24-scale R/C crawler for true trail performance. Last year’s release of Carisma’s 1/24-scale MSA-1E crawler gave me high hopes for the state of small-scale crawling rigs.

YES!!! I mean...what do we have here? Setting aside my excitement for a moment, Axial has released a new addition to their SCX24 line; the SCX24 2019 Jeep Wrangler JLU (AXI00002T1/2). The SCX24 Deadbolt has quickly become my favorite small-scale crawler, and I'm thrilled to see this line of vehicles expanding. With their latest release, […]
When I think of small-scale R/C models, one brand that often comes to mind is LaTrax. While they've been relatively quiet throughout 2019, they have released two new color options for their 1/18-scale Desert Prerunner.
