ECX Barrage 1/24 UV Scaler Crawler
ECX's small-scale lineup is expanding, thanks in part to the new Barrage 1/24 UV Scaler Crawler. Based on the original Barrage 1/24, this new offering sports a utility vehicle-style body, scale accessories in a compact, take-anywhere package.
A classic ladder-frame chassis sits underneath the Barrage UV's body and is powered by an ultra-small brushed motor. The electronics are all waterproof/water-resistant, so you should be able to drive this truck just about anywhere you'd like.
On the visual side, the utility vehicle body is chock-full of accessories, including a spare tire, tools, side mirrors and snorkel. Capping this truck off are two body color options (yellow and blue).
Small-scale Falken Wildpeak MT tires and deep-dish wheels help round out the scale details of this truck, which should be as fun to look at as it will be to drive.
A 2.4GHz radio brings impressive range and control to this tiny truck. I hope the performance, specifically on the low-end/torque side, has improved over the original Barrage 1/24. Given how great this truck looks, the performance aspects were my biggest disappointment.
