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

  The 16th to 18th centuries offer some of the richest subjects in historical figure modelling. This was an era of naval expansion, colonial conflict, samurai warfare, European dynastic armies, religious wars, musketeers, artillery crews and visually distinctive uniforms. For modellers, that means variety. These subjects are not limited to one battlefield or one nation. They can be used for dioramas, wargaming, display bases, naval scenes, skirmish settings, historical collections or narrative miniature projects. This selection focuses on figure kits available through Modellbau-Universe, with an emphasis on visual character, historical atmosphere and modelling potential.

The Axial SCX24 remains one of the strongest 1/24 crawler platforms for one simple reason: the aftermarket is deep, mature, and genuinely useful when the right parts are chosen. That matters, because not every SCX24 upgrade improves performance. Many parts change the look, add weight in the wrong places, or complicate a build without making it crawl better. The upgrades below are the ones that actually make a real difference in steering, stability, breakover clearance, driveline strength, and low-speed control. All products referenced here are based on the current SCX24-compatible range visible through the INJORA Official Store on AliExpress. If the goal is a crawler that feels more planted, more precise, and more capable on technical lines, this is where to start.  Steering Servo Upgrade INJORA 7KG Waterproof 2065 Servo with Mount & Horn for Axial SCX24 The stock steering setup is one of the first places most SCX24 owners hit a limit. Once extra weight is added t...

Here are the best upgrades that make a real difference . If you’re running a custom build or a pre-modded crawler, it’s also worth checking the Top 10 FairRC Mods to Consider for more scale-focused setups and BATRAZZI upgrade ideas.

  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.
