FMS is known for its detailed, scale trail models, but what about bashers? The FMT24 Chevy Colorado is one of their newer models, and it's a fun little machine that packs quite a wallop (despite its size). With a detailed polycarbonate body Here's a first look, overview, and a little action footage of this 1/24-scale […]
They got me hook, line, and sinker. Redcat had me at the announcement of their new 1/18-scale R/C crawler, the Ascent-18. Then, they had me at the color choices and the chassis design. Then they dropped the special $99.99 introductory price (through May 1, 2024), and…that was all it took. Less than a week later, […]
FMS has finally taken the wraps off of its latest FCX18 model, the FCX18 Chevy K10 Cheyenne. This beautifully detailed 1/18-scale truck features an ABS plastic hardbody, an array of scale visual details, LED lights, and a two-speed transmission. It's a great companion for your next camping trip or outdoor hike. The folks at FMS […]
It never fails. As soon as I think I've found my new favorite R/C model, a challenger always emerges to make a run for the title. Having been on a Traxxas TRX-4M kick for the past year, I found myself drawn to one of the newer 1/18-scale trail and crawling rigs to hit the market; […]
Monster trucks and the R/C hobby go hand-in-hand. As early as I can remember, there have always been radio-controlled monster trucks in hobby shops. While there are few that have managed to nail every aspect of the 1:1 monster truck experience, there are some that come awfully close. The 1/24-scale FCX24 Smasher/Smasher V2 from FMS […]
It's hard to make a good thing even better. The Traxxas TRX-4M is one of my favorite small-scale crawler/trail models, and since buying my first last year, I've been in love with the performance and versatility that this 1/18-scale machine wields. Perfectly content with swapping out bodies and applying custom scale bits to these machines, […]
The Traxxas TRX-4M has become one of my favorite small-scale (or any-scale) R/C machines. My collection currently sits at three, but I can see that growing in the not-too-distant future. Regarding the machines I now have in my collection, it hasn't taken me long to upgrade and customize them. While some upgrades have been performance-focused, […]
If you're a fan of small-scale R/C crawling, you've surely noticed the abundance of upgrades and aftermarket parts for vehicles like the Axial SCX24, FMS FCX24, and Traxxas TRX-4M. While some of these option parts are purely cosmetic, others, like Injora's Stainless Steel High-Clearance Suspension and Chassis Links for the SCX24, aim to improve these […]
Tackle the great indoors (and outdoors) with this small-scale R/C crawler. The small-scale R/C landscape has had its share of comers and goers through the years. I jumped into the 1/24-scale scene during the release of Pro-Line's Ambush 4x4. Since then, many well-known names have released their own tiny trucks, including the folks at Carisma […]
Axial's SCX24 platform continues to grow and impress with every new model. 2022 has delivered not one but two new models in the SCX24 lineup, the polycarbonate-bodied Jeep JT Gladiator ($149.99) and the hard-bodied 2021 Ford Bronco ($159.99). After adding two Jeep JT Gladiator SCX24s to my lineup earlier in the year, I didn't see […]
