Over the past few years, I’ve seen my own collection of tiny trucks expand at a rapid pace. The RGT Adventurer V2 trail truck […]
Being stuck indoors isn’t too bad when you have an array of small-scale R/C vehicles to unwind with. One of the newer models to arrive on the scene is the XC324 from Xotik.

With the addition of the RGT Adventurer V2 to my lineup of small-scale R/C crawlers, I had to see how it stacked up against the competition. So far, my two favorite models in this size category are the Axial SCX24 1967 Chevrolet C10 and the Carisma Scale Adventure MSA-1E 1976 Ford F-150. All three vehicles […]
