If you're looking for an R/C crawler that's more compact than a 1/10-scale rig but a bit larger than a 1/24-scale model, check out the Tetra X1 from Panda Hobby. Featuring a brushed motor, a 2.4GHz radio system, 4-link suspension, and oil-filled shocks, this rig offers a unique take on small-scale crawling. With a steel, […]
Do you love small-scale R/C news? If so, this year's NHRSA convention in Las Vegas had a few little tidbits that you might find interesting. After watching (and re-watching) RC Driver's 2019 HRHSA Show coverage and receiving a tip from a fellow hobbyist (thanks, Adam W.) which pointed to a Facebook post by Competition-X, there are two […]
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. While the underlying setup of this truck remains the same, including Traxxas iD battery tech, the Desert Prerunner sports either […]
1RC Racing has announced a new ready-to-run (RTR) model for R/C dirt track racing fanatics. Based on a 1:1 Eastern Dirt Modified (EDM) racer, this new 1/18-scale racer features real-world details both inside and out. With a polycarbonate body panel set, authentic tube-frame chassis design, and scaled-down replica Hoosier dirt racing tires, the EDM RTR […]
Hit the track with family and friends with this deal on small-scale R/C racing machines. It takes two to tango and it also takes two to race. During the 1RC Racing Father's Day Special, when you buy one 1/18-scale Midget 2.0 or Sprint Car at regular price, you can get another for 50% off. 1RC Racing […]
I recently came across a new R/C brand that piqued my interest, all because of their recently-launched small-scale crawler. Ripper RC, a maker of unique radio-controlled boats and surface vehicles, has launched their UGR Platform, a 1/18-scale R/C crawler. Combining 3D printed elements with custom-designed chassis components, the UGR Platform offers an array of built-to-order […]
With the release of their 1/18-scale Midget 2.0 racer, 1RC Racing has discounted the price of their first-generation oval track machine. This brushless-powered, ready-to-run (RTR) model features everything you need to get up to speed, including a 2.4GHz radio system, battery, and charger. Supplies are limited as 1RC Racing is trying to make room for […]
If you want to bring the excitement of oval-track racing to your backyard, the lineup of sprint, Silver Crown, and midget cars from 1RC Racing appears to fit the bill. Their latest release is the second-generation of their 1/18-scale, ready-to-run (RTR) midget racer, the Midget 2.0. There are a number of internal updates on this […]
Overjoyed. That’s how I would describe my feelings during the release of Axial’s original Yeti Jr. Rock Racer (and Yeti Jr. SCORE Trophy Truck). It’s hard to believe that those two models were released over two years ago and in that time...both have been discontinued. After Axial lowered the curtain on their two 1/18-scale models, […]
The emergence of the Axial Yeti Jr. Can-Am Maverick X3 has brought along a series of aluminum and steel hop-up parts from Axial. While there are already a number of aftermarket parts for this model (and its predecessor), it's nice to see Axial showing some love to their small-scale off-road machine. While most of these parts […]
