I can't deny it, I'm a sucker for a good-looking International Scout R/C rig. When the appearance is backed up by performance, then that's just icing on the cake. So, when Redcat introduced a brushless version of the Ascent-18 International Scout II, that just put the cherry on top of an already irresistible sundae. Already […]
HPI has released its second 1/18-scale crawler model, the Venture18 U4 Ford Bronco 4400. This scaled-down version of the RTR Vehicle's Ford Bronco "Fun Haver". Featuring a two-speed transmission, a clipless body mounting system, oil-filled shocks, and much more. See what this rig looks like in action, thanks to this footage from HPI: Specs: Dimensions […]
Axial's adding to its SCX24 family tree with the new SCX24 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 RTR. This 1/24-scale model features an ABS hardbody that replicates the real-world style of a 1:1 late-model Toyota 4Runner. Riding on the trusty SCX24 chassis, this small-scale crawler looks ready to tackle the trail, no matter if it's indoors or out. […]
While it's the second of two 1/24-scale brushless releases from FMS, that "second place" designation doesn't make the FCX24 "Black Edition" Chevrolet K5 Blazer Brushless RTR isn't any less impactful. Draped in black, this brushless rig looks amazing and should perform just as well, thanks to its smooth brushless powerplant and two-speed transmission. Although this […]
Brushless power is steadily taking over the small-scale crawler scene and I'm here for it. One of the latest brushless-powered crawlers on the market is the FMS FCX24 Power Wagon Brushless RTR. Not only does this classic 1/24-scale model get a brushless powerplant update, but it also receives a fresh, new look and updated chassis […]
The FMS FCX18 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Brushless RTR might be a "best of both worlds" rig. Based on the solid FCX18 LC80, the added power and performance benefits of a brushless motor should take this machine to the next level. To get an idea for how this 1/18-scale trail truck performs, check out some […]
Losi is going all-in with its support of small-scale go-fast machines. Following in the tire tracks of the Micro-B Buggy is the new Micro-T Stadium Truck. This two-wheel drive race truck features a brushed motor, an aluminum chassis, oil-filled shocks, and a compact design, making it a perfect companion for indoor and outdoor R/C action. […]
If you ask me, retro-styled R/C machines will never go out of style. Carisma's GT24ST features the classic looks of a 1980s stadium truck blended with the power and performance of a modern, small-scale R/C machine. From the boxy front snout to the large rear spoiler, this tiny truck looks great in studio shots, but […]
While I do love a showroom-clean R/C machine, there are times when a vehicle calls for a weathered, trail-worn aesthetic. After taking an array of AK washes and treatments to my FMS FCX24M Land Rover Discovery, I thought it needed a real-world drive to truly show off its faux funk. Watch my overview of the […]
Redcat's Ascent-18 Scout II is one fun machine. Right out of the box, you can take this tiny truck out on the trail or putter around your living room, and you're sure to have a blast. It's so much fun, in fact, that I decided to buy a second Ascent-18 Scout II after playing around […]
