The Redcat Sixty Four Lowrider took me and most of the RC world by complete surprise. Other than looking amazing, the Redcat Lowrider is pumped with innovation that will hopefully pave the way for more scale vehicles of the Lowriders caliber.

The Axial SCX24 is the perfect gift for you or the little ones! Small enough to have indoors and capable to handle the outdoors the SCX24 is a beast in any environment it is set in. I have and a handful of people hit me up asking “what RC would be good for their kids?” As I tell them, you could spend 70 to 100 bucks on something from Walmart and once its broke its broke. Spend a little more and have the RC for years instead of weeks.

Last but not lest is the Element Gatekeeper RTR, this rig has been my go-to rig for a couple weeks now. The Gatekeeper is extremely capable, and performance based in turn I think it is making me a better driver lol. Alright, it is probably not doing that but what the rig is doing is challenging me in the ways of opening more trial opinions I would normally pass.
Whatever you choose to pick up this Christmas even if it is not on my list, I hope you genuinely enjoy it because after all you DESERVE IT! Have a great weekend and Keep Scalin’.
