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 […]
Since I added two new Axial SCX24s (the Jeep JT Gladiator) to my small-scale R/C garage, I figured that I had two new blank canvases on which to get creative. After adding a set of Injora's 1.0" Aluminum Beadlock Wheels and 1.0" Tires, and a custom back rack, I wanted to tackle the suspension setup […]
Is this the best SCX24 yet? The Axial SCX24 has become a juggernaut in the small-scale R/C crawling scene despite its size. Beginning with the original SCX24 Deadbolt, Axial has grown its lineup of 1/24-scale crawlers to include stunning replicas of 1:1 vehicles. Their latest addition, the SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator ($149.99), not only brings […]
Another day, another set of upgrades for the SCX24. This time around, I'm taking a first-hand look at Injora's 1.0" Beadlock Wheels for 1/24-scale R/C crawlers like the Axial SCX24, Carisma MSA-1E, Element RC Enduro 24, and others. Injora sent me a set of their 1.0" Beadlock Wheels ($19.99) to test out on my SCX24 […]
Upgrading and customizing small-scale crawlers such as the Axial SCX24 can be both fun and costly. Depending on what you're looking to add to your 1/24-scale crawler, you can quickly exceed the price of the base vehicle itself. Thankfully, there are brands like Injora which offer budget-friendly, performance-focused upgrades that will let you customize to […]
The list of upgrades available for the SCX24 continues to grow. Injora has been increasing its array of upgrades, ranging from tires, wheels, chassis weights, shocks, and more. After installing Injora's 40mm Internal Spring Shocks on my SCX24 Deadbolt, I wanted to test out another of their shock upgrades; 32mm Aluminum-bodied, Adjustable Shocks ($14.99). While […]
Raw, rock-gripping performance with a touch of scale detail. You can't upgrade wheels without upgrading tires, can you? For this review, the answer is a solid "no." With my Axial SCX24 Chevy C10 sporting a freshly-installed set of Treal 1.0" Aluminum Beadlock Wheels, it was only fitting to pair those rims with a new set […]
