A small-scale rock crawler that’s packed with surprises. I’ve learned to temper my expectations when it comes to new R/C models. Too often, it seems my internal hype machine goes into overdrive and I become let down by various aspects of a new radio-controlled vehicle. As I mulled Axial’s latest small-scale release, the SX24 Deadbolt, […]
Man, do I love small-scale R/C crawlers. Whether it's Pro-Line's Ambush 4x4, Carisma Scale Adventure's MSA-1E, or the ECX Barrage 1/24, the fact that I can get the thrill of radio-controlled trail driving anywhere, anytime is...huge. Now there's a new option for 1/24-scale R/C crawling; the Axial SCX24 Deadbolt. That's right, the mad geniuses at […]
Overjoyed. That’s how I would describe my feelings during the release of Axial’s original Yeti Jr. Rock Racer (and Yeti Jr. SCORE Trophy Truck).

While most of these parts […]
The Yeti Jr. has been reborn! After the Rock Racer and SCORE Trophy Truck versions were discontinued, it looked as if Axial was getting out of the small-scale R/C business.

Backyard off-road racing has a fresh, new look. Axial didn’t just dip their toe into the small-scale R/C world with the release of their Yeti Jr. 1/18 rock racer. They jumped in with two 1/18-scale models, based on the popular 1/10 and ⅛ Yeti off-road machines. The second vehicle release is the Yeti Jr. SCORE […]
