Now we’re talking, RC4WD has just anounced two updated versions of the Gelande II. The Gelande G2 platform is a great one to play around with, the Farm Truck has a G2 LWB chassis and despite the looks of the rig it performs well. The new Gelande II has had more of a cosmetic makeover with two new licensed Range Rover [...]
The Pizza Planet Truck has had more then it’s fair share of screen time and has even become somewhat of an Easter Egg. This RC4WD Gelande II build comes right out of our very own Big Squid RC stable from Bill Stevens A.K.A the Wrench. When I first got into the crawler community Bills Pizza Plant truck was the first [...]
What’s going on everyone, Jeremy here and the moment I have been waiting for is finally here. The full unveiling of the Farm Truck! Over the last month or so you may have seen or heard me talk about the Farm Truck and have even gotten a few sneak peaks. I have been trying my best to keep it a [...]
Scalers block can get the best of all of us. Just like writers’ block, getting stuck on any project can drive you crazy. Something as simple as where to place a scale item can stop a build in its tracks. Lately I have been torn on what rig to put our RC4WD 1:10 Warn 9.5cti Winch on. As soon as [...]
For a lot longer than I would like to admit I have been getting frustrated trying to mount my Pro-Line Racing BF Goodrich all-terrain KO2 tires on a set of RC4WD 1.9 wagon wheels. I finally found out I needed the inner beadlock rings from RC4WD to work with Pro-Line tires; which I will be renaming lifesavers! I learned a [...]
There’s something satisfying about breathing new life into a RC vehicle that hasn’t been used in a while. I was able to get my hands on the RC four-wheel-drive Gelande 2 that Cubby reviewed. Within 10 minutes of running this truck it’s become my favorite vehicle. The scale details on the vehicle are outstanding; from a full interior to even [...]
Hey gang, how’s it going? ICYMI, earlier this week we posted our review of the RC4WD 1/18 Gelande II RTR Black Rock Edition. It’s a cool little platform that you’re going to see me discuss a bit more in the near future. I’m gonna keep this week’s post really short and get to the good stuff. Here is video that [...]
The crew at RC4WD have been on a tear the last couple of years, releasing a variety of rigs to please scale off-roading enthusiasts. They recently announced a new series of four 1/18 Gelande II RTR Crawlers, and we’ve been giving the business to one of them in particular -the Black Rock Edition. What’s our verdict? Read on to find [...]
Well, look what we have here – a pair of the just announced RC4WD 1/18 Gelande II RTR Crawlers! We have the gunmetal colored Black Rock edition as well as the baby-blue D90 version. We are about to get busy on our full review, but we wanted to first show you what it looks like when you crack the box on [...]
Happy Zelda launch day to all my fellow gaming nerds! I’m actually writing this post from my Nintendo Switch….ok, that’s a lie. The Nintendo Switch has no internet browser currently. Hey, I did plan on it at least! Get with it, Nintendo. Anyways, it’s been awhile since I’ve done a scatter-shots type look at recent scaling news, and lately there has [...]
Hopefully everyone enjoyed reading our review of the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 that went up a couple days ago. As luck would have it the winter weather broke and the last two weeks had lots of high 60’s weather – perfect for scaling. And what a time was had! I think the review spells it out pretty well, but it was a lot [...]
Add a nice touch of scale realism to your Gelande II Cruiser Truck Kit with a fully licensed Tough Armor Front Bumper from RC4WD. The bumper has a tough scale appearance and is made from heavy duty steel and aluminum. For added realism, the bumper has been hand welded and powder coated in black. * Corrosion resistant * Comes with built-in [...]
One of the most divisive subjects when it comes to scaling is what kind of body to use. No, I don’t mean Ford or Chevy, I mean fully interior’d, abs plastic or styrene hard bodies vs. standard lexan shells. Many of the truly hardcore types believe that a hard body is the only way to go for a “true” scaler. A [...]
With the r/c scale movement white hot, previously niche manufacturer RC4WD is quickly becoming a household name among hobbyists. Their latest release, the Gelande II Cruiser, channels the spirit of one of the most famous off-roaders in automotive history, the legendary Toyota FJ40. Is the Cruiser a runner or just a looker? Read on to find out. From: RC4WD Direct Link: Gelande II Cruiser Unboxing [...]
Just last week the folks at RC4WD announced their latest and greatest uber scale builder’s kit, the Gelande 2 Cruiser. As you can see, the truck comes as a kit with several sections preassembled (axles, transmission and transfer case most notably). The star of the show is the injection molded Cruiser body, inspired by the legendary Toyota FJ60. Yep, the body [...]
