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, […]

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, […]
These days, my small-scale crawler collection is seeing more action than my standard-sized rigs. One of the newest additions to my collection is the beautiful and capable FCX24 K5 Blazer from FMS.

While it looks like another branch in the SCX24 family tree, the AX24 is a new breed of small-scale crawler. With oversized tires, a high-clearance […]
Pro-Line has introduced another set of tires for 1/24-scale trail rigs and crawlers. Their 1/24 Interco Super Swamper 1.0" Tires with Holcomb Bead-Loc Wheels should be a great way to add traction and crawling performance to your small-scale radio-controlled machine. These tires are a scaled-down version of Interco's 1:1 Super Swamper tire with an aggressive […]
