Scale & Motion - RC Crawlers, Micro Upgrades, Model Kits & Scale RC Guides

  If you’re into RC crawling, especially platforms like the FCX24, it’s worth understanding how it compares to other models, such as in this detailed comparison of the FMS FCX24 vs Redcat Ascent-18.  

Choosing the best FMS RC airplane is easier when the question is tied to a specific type of flying. A first trainer, a STOL bush plane, a scale civilian aircraft, a warbird and a 90mm EDF jet solve very different problems. This shortlist focuses on eight current FMS aircraft that stand out for clearly defined pilot needs rather than trying to cover the entire catalogue.

  Top 10 FairRC Mods to Consider: RTR RC Crawlers and BATRAZZI Upgrades for Scale Trail Fans FairRC’s Mods collection sits in an interesting space between standard ready-to-run RC crawlers and fully custom hobby builds. Instead of starting with a basic platform and gradually upgrading wheels, tyres, bodywork, detailing, electronics or weathering, these models arrive already modified with a stronger visual identity and a more distinctive trail presence. For hobbyists who want something more characterful than a standard boxed crawler, this approach makes the FairRC Mods range especially appealing. The collection includes compact 1/24 and 1/18 rigs, weathered builds, flatbed trucks, 6x6 utility machines, brushless variants, and larger statement models designed more for presence and style than simple entry-level use.

(Review, June 11, 2026) Whether you are a seasoned figure builder or just starting to explore historical scale modelling, the medieval period offers some of the most visually compelling subjects available.

The FMS 1:24 scale range covers nine models across rock crawlers, a monster truck and a short course truck — all RTR, all shipping ready to run. This guide covers what each model is, how the range divides, and which platform suits different use cases. Browse all FMS 1:24 RC models Why 1:24 Scale Makes Sense The 1:24 scale sits at a practical sweet spot: compact enough to run indoors without dedicating a large space, while the chassis engineering — portal axles, two-speed transmission, universal driveshafts — matches what you find on larger platforms. For collectors who want a capable crawler that also displays well, 1:24 is the format that makes both possible. Rock Crawlers — Six Models Rock crawlers account for six of the nine current FMS 1:24 models, dividing between the FCX24S chassis and the newer FCX24M extended-wheelbase platform. FMS 1:24 FCX24 Power Wagon RTR (135 reviews) — the most reviewed model in the range. 1949 Dodge Power Wagon body on the FCX24S c...
