The 1/12-scale 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha RS is an incredibly-detailed vehicle that boasts several performance features like a two-speed transmission, remote locking diffs, and four-wheel steer. To see this 1/12-scale Hummer H1 in action, […]
FMS certainly has a knack for creating visually stunning, radio-controlled vehicles. While you won't find these machines tackling tricky trails or crawling challenging lines, they do offer plenty of fun. Its latest release, the 1/12-scale Toyota FJ45 RTR, lets your imagination truly run wild. Featuring a two-speed transmission, removable body elements, and leaf-spring suspension, the […]
Carisma's refreshed MSA-1E "2.0 Spec" 1/24-scale crawler lineup features a blend of old and new. Featuring a refreshed body style from the past, a larger-than-normal 130-size motor, and a new transmission and gearing, each of these new rigs, the MSA-1E Mitsubishi Pajero and the MSA-1E Subaru Brat feature some impressive crawling and trail-running performance. If […]
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 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 […]
RC4WD's latest trail explorer has some stiff competition. Wading into an already crowded 1/24-scale crawler market, the 1/24 Trail Finder 2 brings a small-scale hard-bodied model to the masses. Featuring a durable design with plenty of scale features, this model looks like an appealing option for those who want to get into or further expand […]
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 […]
