From realistic looks and construction to an impressive powerplant, this racing replica will have you living out your dreams of running the high […]
Little by little, additional details have been released about Carisma Scale Adventure's two new small-scale trail trucks. If you're a fan of their 1/10-scale SCA-1E Coyote or simply dig the aesthetic of an old-school pickup truck, then you'll want to take a closer look at the Carisma MSA-1E Coyote Pup (#79368). With a four-link suspension […]
Things have been rather quiet on the small-scale front in 2018...until now. ECX has introduced the Micro Ruckus, a 1/28-scale monster truck that features a retro body design, huge (relatively speaking) tires, and a two-in-one charger/transmitter combo that's sure to become a hit with R/C enthusiasts. The Micro Ruckus chassis design appears to take a […]
To me, small-scale R/C vehicles are like cookies. It's hard to have just one and whenever a new flavor comes out, I'm bound and determined to try it out. You can imagine my excitement when I happened upon this post from the folks at Big Squid RC, teasing two new models from Carisma/Carisma Scale Adventure. […]

Just when I think I know all of the players on the R/C landscape, a new one appears on my radar. GL Racing, a brand focused on small-scale, high-performance R/C vehicles, has announced a new option for on-road racers. The GLR is a 1/27-scale, rear-wheel-drive chassis kit which serves as a starting point for those […]
From what I've seen, the hottest small-scale R/C models of 2018 aren't from any of the mainstream hobby brands. No, the maker of some of the most sought-after machines is WPL, a brand that you'll find on sites such as GearBest, Banggood, and GeekBuying.com. Following up the success of models such as the C14 "Hercules" […]
Late last year, I learned that one of my favorite small-scale R/C crawlers had been discontinued. While disappointing, I was happy to see other 1/24-scale crawlers in the market, available to fill the void. If you'd hoped to pick up one of these 1/25-scale trail truck before they become too hard to find, Pro-Line has […]
The WPL C14 Hercules has proven to be quite an interesting project. Not satisfied with the stock electronics on the ready-to-run (RTR) version, I assembled the necessary parts to convert this 1/16-scale trail truck from a toy into a hobby-grade-like vehicle. Sparing the details (for the time being), I finally had the opportunity to take […]
Shortly after launching their MT28 Monster Truck late in 2018, Team Associated pulled this model from their lineup. After a short hiatus, the MT28 has re-emerged with some subtle changes. What those changes are might be skin deep as the headlight decals appear to be the only visual change to this revised 1/28-scale truck. Comparing […]
