When you haven't seen a certain R/C model in a while, you might need a reminder on how it performs. Thankfully, the folks at Carisma love to capture their vehicles in action, and have put together an excellent action sequence of the recently-relaunched GT24TR truggy. It's been a while since I've wheeled my two GT24-series […]
The Carisma Scale Adventure MSA-1E ranks among my favorites when it comes to 1/24-scale R/C crawlers. While it may not be the juggernaut that is the Axial SCX24, it can still hold its own and provide plenty of indoor and outdoor entertainment. My MSA-1E Ford F-150 has been its own fair share of adventures, from […]
With the addition of the RGT Adventurer V2 to my lineup of small-scale R/C crawlers, I had to see how it stacked up against the competition. So far, my two favorite models in this size category are the Axial SCX24 1967 Chevrolet C10 and the Carisma Scale Adventure MSA-1E 1976 Ford F-150. All three vehicles […]
My favorite go-to rig (at the moment) is Carisma's MSA-1E Coyote Pup. I'm sold on its performance, scale detail, and overall fun factor. To help illustrate how this little rig performs, I set up a short (very short) crawling course made up of rain gutter insert "foam" and turned this puppy loose. While the performance […]
The LaTrax Prerunner 4x4 truck has received a splash of color for 2018. This recently redesigned 1/18-scale vehicle now features a "color splash" body design, similar to what Traxxas has been applying to a number of their other models. This new color option is a real eye-catcher and stands out among the standard solid red and […]
My first taste of FPV left me thirsty for more. Thankfully, the Dromida FPV Rally Car arrived on my doorstep in time for some pre-snow fun. Taking a trip to a local park, I turned loose with this 1/18-scale rally car. With the Tactic RM2 FPV monitor set up and DVR feature engaged, I put […]
One of the lingering questions you get after buying a new R/C vehicle is wondering how hard you can push the vehicle...before it breaks. While no vehicle is bulletproof, there are some brands which have made a name for themselves from a durability standpoint. While Traxxas, LaTrax, ECX, and even Redcat Racing have showcased the […]
The first real "test" that I've performed for the WLToys K989 R/C Rally Car came in the form of an indoor basement bash session. I set up a small ramp that is usually reserved for my ECX KickFlip and BeatBox and let the little pup eat. Given the low price-point, I'm very happy with how […]
Late last week, I asked folks on our Facebook page to share their favorite small-scale R/C vehicles and what I got in return were some amazing photos and videos of awesome machines. Among those posted were some great videos from Andre Ricardo. He has a nice collection of R/C drift cars as well as a great collection […]
