I tend to view smaller-scale R/C cars the same way that I used to look at potato chips. You can't just have one and be satisfied. Whether it's their ultra-portability, fun design, or seemingly limitless fun factor, these micro and mini radio-controlled vehicles are hard to ignore (and not stockpile). If you share the same […]
20016 is shaping up to be the year of small-scale radio-controlled machines for ECX. Following in the tire tracks of their 1/24-scale Temper Rock Crawler and 1/18-scale Roost Desert Buggy, a new vehicle has emerged. Meet...the ECX Roost Desert Buggy, this time in 1/24 form. Along with a shared name, this smaller, ready-to-run (RTR) off-road […]
ECX has been turning some interesting small-scale R/C vehicles loose in the past few months, and one of their latest, the 1/24 scale Temper rock crawler, appears to be loaded up for fun times. A ready-to-run (rtr) model, this smaller variant of their 1/18 Temper rock crawler is aimed at those that want to enjoy a […]
When the weather won't cooperate with your plans to enjoy the R/C hobby, don't let Mother Nature rain (or snow, or sleet) on your planned parade. Keeping the fun rolling indoors is always an option, and your lineup of possibilities just grew by one with the new Basher RockSta ready-to-run 1/24 rock crawler. Sold by […]
In a moment of parenting success, my two oldest children chose radio-controlled cars as part of their Cub Scout popcorn-selling prizes this year. On top of that, they choose some fun vehicles, so I wanted them to share their thoughts on these machines as they unboxed them. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the […]
Hot in the tire tracks of the 1/24 scale ECX Ruckus monster truck, ECX has rolled another small-scale vehicle out of its garage. For those that love to get down and dirty at the track, the new Torment 1/24 SCT (Short Course Truck) has all of the features you'd want from a compact, fun-to-drive, R/C […]
After announcing a few new budget-friendly 1/10 R/C trucks, ECX has turned its attention to the small-scale end of the spectrum by building a downsized version of their popular Ruckus monster truck. The new, 1/24 scale Ruckus packs a lot of punch into a small package. With great features that you'll find in some larger-scale radio-controlled […]
As the march into 2015 continues, there have been a number of new radio-controlled vehicles announced and released, though most of them have been of the larger-scale variety. Luckily for your small-scale fans, Carisma is releasing a new 1/24-scale buggy that should be an exciting little machine. Fancy something palm size and stupid fast and runs LIPO […]
These darn small cars and their addictiveness. They might be my downfall before too long...ok, I might be a little dramatic with that statement, but these little machines are fun. And if you think a smaller scale means no room for mods and hop-ups, you're wrong (in a good way). Cruising YouTube, I found this […]
After getting in from a little run with my 1/10 scale rig (Axial SCX10), I wanted to see what was out there for the small-scale folks. What I found was pure gold. I've found the crawler "scene" to be fun and something that really fits my style, so these miniature rigs are right up my […]
