It's time for another custom rig review. This time, I'm taking you on a tour of my Traxxas TRX-4M "InJeepra". What started as a 1/18-scale Ford Bronco (or Land Rover Defender...I can't remember which) has been transformed into a Jeep Wrangler-like vehicle with plenty of Injora upgrades, brass bits, and scale accessories. My Traxxas TRX-4M […]
While my main passion in the R/C scene is crawlers and trail trucks, I'd love to venture into the speedier side of the hobby from time to time. The folks at Hobby Plus gave me the chance to take a closer look at their new 1/24 Speck-T Brushless Stadium Truck, and let me say...it's one […]
It's rig review time...at least a mini-rig review. While I haven't done many upgrades on my gold Redcat Ascent-18 Brushless Scout II, I wanted to share the small updates that I have made (so far). This was the first Brushless Ascent-18 Scout II that I added to my RC garage, and I recently added a […]
After eyeing Losi's NASCAR RC Car from afar since its 2024 release, I finally found a deal too good to pass up and added this on-road machine to my R/C garage. Join me as I take a closer look at this car and take it out for an evening driveway shakedown. Surprisingly quick and nimble, […]
Truth be told, this review should have been released months ago. The problem is, I keep finding myself driving the SCX30 instead of writing about it. As you're reading this review, know that I could be running any of my three (yes…three) Axial SCX30s on my indoor crawling obstacles, but instead, I'm writing this love […]
What do you get when you take an already solid-performing R/C crawler, tweak the steering design, and drop a brushless motor into it? You get an even better-performing R/C crawler. Simple as that. That's ultimately the case with Redcat's Ascent-18 Scout II Brushless edition. I was already a fan of the original, brushed Ascent-18 Scout […]
Who knew an 8-wheel steer, 8-wheel drive radio-controlled truck would be so much fun? Not to spoil the review, but here's a quick TLDR: the Hobby Plus CR18P Terranaut 8x8 is one of the coolest R/C rigs I've driven this year. With the visual presense of a tactical behemoth, this big-yet-small truck offers a new […]
As a fan of scale detail in R/C machines, I'm never not impressed with what FMS manages to do with their releases. No matter the scale, they always find a way to inject visual detail into their releases. Their latest FCX24M release is no different. As their first non-Land Rover model in that lineup, the […]
It's become a Pavlovian response at this point. Redcat announces a new Ascent-18 crawler, and I add it to my collection. With the release of their Ascent-32, Redcat is dipping its toe into the world of micro R/C crawlers. Geared toward indoor crawling, the Ascent-32 is a budget-friendly crawler that looks like it offers plenty […]
Another day, another rig review. This time around, I'm showing off my weathered FMS FCX24M Land Rover Discovery Camel Trophy Edition. As far as rig reviews go, this one is a bit shorter than others, mainly because my customizations are cosmetic. Rather than applying performance upgrades to this FCX24M, I've decided to go the weathering […]
