The FMS FCX24 Power Wagon is the most-recent model to join the 1/24-scale R/C crawler scene. With its unique design that blends a hard-body truck cab with portal axles, tractor-style tires, and a two-speed transmission, this rig may not be for everyone. That said, it certainly looks like an interesting option for fans of small-scale […]
It looks like FMS has set its sights on the ultra-popular 1/24-scale crawling scene. After releasing a number of beautifully-detailed 1/18-to-1/12-scale models, they have released the FCX24 Power Wagon, a cage-backed, retro-inspired truck that looks…well, interesting. With the front-end styling of an old-school Dodge (or Doug) Power Wagon and the rear of a super-short bed […]
The Axial SCX24 2021 Ford Bronco release has the scale R/C community buzzing. The latest in Axial's small-scale crawler lineup, this model marks the first "hardbody" release from the adventure R/C brand. Rather than a polycarbonate body, this 1/24-scale crawler is rocking an ABS plastic body that boasts beautiful details and more body accessories than […]
Axial's SCX24 lineup continues to grow with the addition of the SCX24 2021 Ford Bronco. This ready-to-run (RTR) small-scale trail machine sports a highly-detailed Bronco body and is packed with scale details. While there are a few 1/10-scale 2021 Bronco options on the market, this is the first 1/24-scale model to feature the modern-day Bronco […]
Since I added two new Axial SCX24s (the Jeep JT Gladiator) to my small-scale R/C garage, I figured that I had two new blank canvases on which to get creative. After adding a set of Injora's 1.0" Aluminum Beadlock Wheels and 1.0" Tires, and a custom back rack, I wanted to tackle the suspension setup […]
It occurred to me that I haven't done much 1/10-scale driving as of late, rather my attention has been focused on the ultra-fun experiences delivered by the Axial SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator. With two of these 1/24-scale rigs in my R/C garage, I've been enjoying running this machine in both bone-stock and also "slightly-modded" configurations. […]
Is this the best SCX24 yet? The Axial SCX24 has become a juggernaut in the small-scale R/C crawling scene despite its size. Beginning with the original SCX24 Deadbolt, Axial has grown its lineup of 1/24-scale crawlers to include stunning replicas of 1:1 vehicles. Their latest addition, the SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator ($149.99), not only brings […]
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 […]
