Its a revamped version of the WL Toys 124017, but it comes with a pliable pnastic tub base which is far better for durability. They are clearly taking a leaf our of their sister brand MJX’s book with the chassis, and based on the MJX’s massive popularity this new WL toys is coming highly recommended and a firm favorite in the RCUK office.

The WL Toys 284161 1/28th micro buggy is a new micro off road offering from WL toys.

This new offering ads an offroad angle to the 1/28th platform and it delivers soo much fun in a small package.

This little rc monster truck from Rlaarlo is amazing fun for a low price.

Whilst its not a high spec machine it still packs a punch. You might get skeptical over the lack of oil shocks, but this little truck is so light that it doesnt really need heavy duty shocks.

With plenty of options in the office, this one is actually the most used RC we have lying around…. its just so easy to pik up and start running and never fail to put a smile on peoples faces.

It definately borders more on the toy side of things, so its great for kids and adults to share.

The RGT 86100 v2 is probably the king of crawlers for under £200. Whilst toy crawlers can feel like they really struggle then trying to climb, the RGT products really seem to do what you ask for, witth low gearing, high quality electronics and thought through dynamics. Add on a set of grippy tyres and they really have hit the nail on the head with an absolute bargain of a product.

If you want a cheap crawler the RGT 86100 v2 really is the best you’ll get!
