The FMS 18th anniversary celebration rolls on with the introduction of the FCX24 K5 Blazer Pro. Based on its popular FCX24 platform, this special edition model features a brushless motor, metal suspension links, oil-filled shocks, and two color and graphics options. The folks at FMS have put together a video showcasing this new rig in […]
FMS has taken the wraps off of its 18th Anniversary Edition FCX24 K5 Blazer Pro. This 1/24-scale crawler sports two new body color and graphics options, plus an array of chassis and electronics upgrades to take this version of the FCX24 to the next level. The biggest upgrade on this model has to be its […]
Finally, after much internal wishing and hoping, Redcat released a small-scale R/C rock crawler, the Ascent-18. In what may have been my quickest announcement-to-purchase record yet, I knew I had to have one of these 1/18-scale crawlers the minute, ney, the second it was announced. Not only is the Ascent-18 a visual doppelganger to its […]
Pro-Line has released a new body option for the Axial SCX24, the 2001 Jeep Cherokee. Perfect for updating the appearance of your versatile small-scale crawler, this body will give your rig a fresh new look while also giving a nod to a popular 1:1 off-roading model. Made from durable polycarbonate, this body is modeled and […]
One of the many reasons I love the R/C hobby is that I can collect several replicas of 1:1 vehicles without incurring crushing debt. The small-scale side of the radio-controlled universe is even more affordable than their larger, 1/10-scale cousins, making collecting various cars and trucks that much easier. Along that same vein, I often […]
If you own one or more FMS FCX24M Land Rover Camel Trophy rigs, chances are you've started to look into upgrades. While this rig compares quite nicely to the Axial SCX24, there are still several differences that can make upgrading this new model a tad bit tricky. If you want to keep your FCX24M looking […]
Fair RC has unveiled its next modded version of the FCX24M, the Trail Titan Mod. If you're a fan of the Land Rover Defender 90, but don't care for the Camel Trophy Livery found on the current FMS FCX24M lineup, this might be a rig worth checking out. The 1/24 Trail Titan Mod RTR features […]
Who's ready for some new hotness? Redcat has announced a new color option for its budget-friendly, incredibly capable Ascent-18. Alongside the original colors of silver, blue, and red, you can now get this tiny truck in an eye-popping hot pink color. No changes have been made under the hood, which is great news for those […]
I don't use the words "game changer" often, but when I do, they typically have some weight behind them. Injora's MBL32 Micro ESC and Purple Viper Brushless Motor Combo appear to be just that; game changers. If you own a Traxxas TRX-4M or Redcat Ascent-18 and want to achieve not only smooth yet powerful low-end […]
The FCX24M from FMS is one fun machine. Whether you're a fan of Land Rover, the Camel Trophy vehicle competition, scale realism in radio-controlled models, or all three, this new line of small-scale crawlers certainly has something for (just about) everyone. While the FCX24M Land Rover Camel Trophy Edition lineup is fantastic in stock form, […]
