FMS has taken the wraps off of its latest 1/24-scale model, the go-fast-focused FSC24 Chaser Short Course Truck. Featuring a two-speed transmission, full ball bearings, a clipless body mounting system, and more, this looks like a fun little truck to blast around your basement or backyard. If you're curious to see how this truck performs […]
If you're looking for a fun way to have an R/C adventure, the FMS FCX24M is one rig that always seems up for the challenge. I've enjoyed driving models from this lineup both indoors and outdoors, and while each holds a unique set of challenges, there are some aspects of the great outdoors that you […]
Over the years, I've learned that no R/C project is ever "done". It might be "good enough" for now, but something else can always be added, removed, or modified to make an R/C machine a true custom piece. Take, for example, my Redcat Ascent-18. From its beginnings as a stock 1/18-scale crawler, I've managed to […]
The R/C community was gifted with two small-scale crawler releases this week, one from HPI and the other from Redcat. If you're jonesing for more information about the former, you're in for a treat. Longtime HPI spokesman, "HPI Frank," has returned, and he's here to give a deep-dive into the Venture18 Toyota Hilux SR5. The […]

Redcat sent me one of these new rigs to take a […]

The small-scale R/C crawling and trail scene has been hopping this year, and it looks like we're going to end the year on a high note thanks to the HPI Venture18 Toyota Hilux. While small in size, HPI has tricked this tiny truck out with plenty of performance details and hasn't skimped on scale details […]
Axial's latest iteration of the UTB18 Capra introduces 4-wheel steering to this capable small-scale crawler platform. If you're looking for a compact crawler that can act as a camping or hiking companion, this little rig might be the perfect fit with the proper set of performance specs. If you haven't experienced a crawler with 4WS […]
Going fast never gets old. No matter what scale of R/C machine you're driving, the ability to wring out every ounce of power and performance from it can be incredibly satisfying. ARRMA's new Typhon Grom 223S BLX 4x4 Brushless Buggy should satisfy that need, providing smooth, brushless power in a durable, fun-to-drive package. Whether you're […]
