From what I've seen, the hottest small-scale R/C models of 2018 aren't from any of the mainstream hobby brands. No, the maker of some of the most sought-after machines is WPL, a brand that you'll find on sites such as GearBest, Banggood, and GeekBuying.com. Following up the success of models such as the C14 "Hercules" […]
Late last year, I learned that one of my favorite small-scale R/C crawlers had been discontinued. While disappointing, I was happy to see other 1/24-scale crawlers in the market, available to fill the void. If you'd hoped to pick up one of these 1/25-scale trail truck before they become too hard to find, Pro-Line has […]
The search for a capable and fun small-scale R/C trail rig has been my personal holy grail/white whale expedition for quite some time. While I’ve driven some vehicles that come close to being “spot on” with regards to handling and overall performance, there are small items that cause the overall experience to fall a bit […]
Small-scale trail fanatics now have more vehicle options to choose from than ever, thanks to the folks at RC4WD. Adding to their Gelande II line, three new models have been added, including a Jeep Wrangler clone, the Black Rock. This 1/18-scale trail machine utilizes the same under-the-body components as the original Gelande II but features a […]
As a fan of scale realism in the R/C hobby, I love to see new models appear that are rich in details and visual flair. What makes these elements more appealing are when they’re packaged in a small-scale setup (simply because you don’t see many of those models on the market). Along with the WPL […]
The ECX Barrage 1/24 is proving to be an interesting truck. What it lacks in low-end torque, it makes up for in trail-riding prowess. I recently set up an indoor crawling "course" on the top of a table and put both the ECX Barrage 1/24 and the Pro-Line Ambush 4x4 to work. Made up of […]
Ever since Pro-Line released the 1/24-scale Ambush 4x4, I've been clamoring for other brands to follow suit and produce similarly-sized micro trail rigs. Over a year later, I'm excited to see the announcement of another small-scale trail truck, the ECX Barrage 1/24. This new addition to the Barrage lineup has all the right looks to […]
Out of all of the small-scale radio-controlled vehicles in my fleet, the Pro-Line Ambush 4x4 sits atop the heap as one of my favorites. From its compact size to the fun, adventure-ready styling, this has been a terrific "grab & go" vehicle for just about any occasion. The original body style holds a special place […]
The Pro-Line Ambush 4x4 is an outstanding small-scale trail rig in its own right. The details that have been built into it allow it to stand out from the pack and it’s a perfect “grab and go” vehicle for indoor and outdoor driving. The more I’ve been driving it, the more I’ve wanted to add […]
Pro-Line’s Ambush 4x4 is a well-built micro rig that can take its licks and roll on. For owners of this 1/25-scale trail machine, there’s now an array of replacement parts for fixing up your rig or simply stocking up on spare components. With 12 parts options available, from batteries to frame sets, and everything in-between, […]
