Traxxas’ mission is simple. To create fun-to-drive, problem-free RC vehicles for drivers to enjoy. Thanks to Traxxas engineering, keeping their cars, trucks—and boats, for that matter—out for hours of racing, crawling and bashing may not require much maintenance. But it does require some. This is why Traxxas has created a line of tools and other equipment to help enthusiasts to do just that. As with anything else, having the right tool for the right job can make a world of difference. Maintaining and upgrading your Traxxas kit is no different. Traxxas tools are the perfect companion to your favorite RC ride.

One of Tamiya’s favorite trucks to reproduce in RC form, the Toyota Land Cruiser 40 (FJ40), has appeared in the brand’s lineup in multiple variations since 2008. It initially came with the CR-01 crawler chassis before finding its place on the simpler CC-01 cross-country chassis. Now, this iconic Land Cruiser is being released on Tamiya’s latest cross-country platform, the CC-02, with some meticulous adjustments tailored for the scale enthusiast. Let’s talk about the CC-02 chassis. It’s built for off-road adventures, including rocky terrain as well as dirt trails. The chassis is a ladder frame that is inspired by full-sized vehicles, making it super-tough.

A Memorable Classic This is the first model on the brand-new MB-01 chassis! It depicts the Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse, a compact car based upon the Fiat 600 that became a touring car class champion in 1968 and 1969, and made a massive visual impact too, with over fenders, bumper radiator cover and a propped-open rear hood under which sat a 982cc inline-4 engine.

FMS’s 1/12-scale ready-to-run (RTR) Land Rover Series II has quickly become one of our favorite recent RC truck releases. As a detailed replica, it looks as realistic as it gets. In terms of performance, it’s fun to drive over dirt trails and rocky surfaces. It’s not a competition crawler, but that’s not the point. It’s all about realism. The real Series II was offered in three distinctive body styles, and like its big brother, FMS designed their version of the Series II to emulate these different forms. The RC truck can be configured in three body styles thanks to two removable roof options. With its full roof on, it looks like an SUV; with its short roof installed, it takes on a pickup truck look, which exposes its utility bed.…
