Smallest hobby grade vintage style RC from NRC Projects: the K24 1/24th scale carbon and alloy vintage-style RC Buggy. Far from being just a toy, this creation represents an engineer's quest to shrink down the intricate details of a vintage 1/10th scale RC buggy into a 1/24th scale masterpiece. It's a true work of art, tailor-made for vintage RC enthusiasts everywhere.
In this video I build, install the ultra-small electronics and then take it to the track to see how it performs.

At $259.99 it sure is priced like a big buggy!

@akeemsealey2811 Месяц назад

The hobby is getting out of hand... That should not cost more than my 1/10s

@RCKickschannel Месяц назад

Well, it's a low production run, fully featured RC buggy using the same number of parts as a 1/10th buggy, metal oil shocks, carbon top deck and towers as well as bearings. Apart from raw materials, it's just the same as 1/10th if not a little more expensive to manufacture as your tolerances are way smaller. At the end of the day, it's personal choice what product gives you the most joy vs your own budget.

@akeemsealey2811 Месяц назад

Don't get me wrong.. I do appreciate the craft and skill.. this hobby is my passion.. might have everything like the 10s.. in reality their not... Can't take'm to the 10 races... 😆. Love the 24 tho.. I have couple 18s... Love the miniatures

@roguetorino Месяц назад

IMHO It's worth every penny. Scaling stuff down makes production harder. The amount of work that went into this is impressive especially for such a small company.

@Glocktologist 27 дней назад

I think it’s slightly ironic that Losi gets so much hate for the Mini Jrx2 (though not the Mini B) but when some other mfg makes small enough replicas of vintage classics then everything is cool! Maybe the problem wasn’t the 1:16th Jrx after all but rather the lack of a 1:10th one.

@RCKickschannel 27 дней назад

The issue is the only choice is the Mini Jrx2 from Losi. I don't think anyone would mind the Mini if the 1/10th came out. The issue is it came out instead of the 1/10th Jrx2 so yes, I would agree with you.

@jadedlotuz5095 17 дней назад

Oh, gives me nostalgia feels. I had two Kyosho 1/24 Mini buggies (from the 1990s), Still have one (the other one is more a spare part doner now). This looks very similar but with better materials and modern electronics. But the design is realy familiar. Sadly my cars didnt have the oil-shocks/springs, they where optional and to expensive when I was young. But everything else was kitted to max. (Dont remember the specs though). They were discontinued just some year after, so spare parts was hard to find (before internet took off). I want one of these now. Cheers.

@londonpirates Месяц назад

Incredible amount of effort going into these, I have a fully built RC10 and a K24 waiting to be built. I see people complaining about the cost but I think it’s about right given this isn’t a mass produced car from a big manufacturer. Also given the low production volumes they are likely to retain a lot of their value. The way I look at a car like this is you pay say £250 then get to enjoy the build and ownership, then if you get bored of it and want to move it on you could get back about £200 so you’ve effectively only spent £50. For me the build is the most enjoyable part so several evenings worth of fun for £50 isn’t that bad at all.

@@billymanilli this is true, Nigel from NRC did make available a full set of plastic parts for the NRC24 on Shapeways which is pretty handy, hopefully we will see the same for K24.

I saw your video mentioning them a week or two ago and looked them up… their listed price here in the US was close to $300 for the kit, all said and done I’m sure you could spend $450 for an operational car which I’m not willing to spend on such a thing awesome as it may be.

@mikecarbone828 22 дня назад

I actually thought that it would be smaller, as it was shown in the cover shot for this video, where it appears to be the size of a Matchbox or Hotwheels car, which are H.O. Scale or 1/64th scale, but it still is an interesting scale. I would like to know how long it would run at full throttle on a full charge, and I didn’t catch whether or not the motor is brushless, however I suspect it would be. Thanks for the review! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🏎️

For its size, it’s spot on. You can drive it faster but filming and driving are not the easiest lol. That and I didn’t have a chance to glue the tyres in time so if I pushed on the tyres fell off the rim. You could easy race these little things on that track

You are most welcome @russlondon, happy to be of service ;) You have a good few choices of the electronics but I can give my choices a thumbs up as performance was good and getting it to work normally was just as easy as a normal 1/10th. You might be able to fine some cheaper options in the list that work just as well mind. One tip when building, make sure everything moves freely, especially the lower arms and top turnbuckles. Doing this really improved how it handled at the track.

I'm guessing now, but it's the engineering challenge I think. I need to ask Nigel from NRC Projects what is was.

I’ll just go ahead and echo most of the other comments by saying $260 for a car this size with NO ELECTRONICS is more than a little asinine. And I don’t care that it’s carbon fiber. If consumers knew how incredibly easy that stuff is to work with, they’d stop over paying for it! Somebody is on some real good drugs not only for asking that price with no electronics, but for paying for that with no electronics, too! I’ll just get a mini-z for that price that COMES WITH ALL the electronics!!

@mfdoomtree3753 14 часов назад

You have no idea what you're talking about. A mini z is a toy compared to this. You obviously don't know about REFLEX RACING RX28, RTRC RTA, NEXX RACING SPECTER or any of the GL Racing or Atomic Chassis. Very high quality small cars made of precision parts and tolerances compared to a plastic sloppy kyosho mini z. Don't get me wrong, I love my mini Zs but they are not comparable to any of the above mentioned chassis. The price is fair.

260$ is a ton of money for something no where near complete. I mean I would pay it for a 1/10 chassis, maybe, maybe, but for a 1/24, you fell off your rocker. All said and done you will have 500$ in it. No thx.

@RCKickschannel 13 дней назад

1/10th or 1/24 with the same number of parts as it a direct replica, so why would it be less? Making smaller scale requires a higher level of tolerance so more expensive from a manufacturing aspect as well as a low production number increases costs per unit. You could say it uses less material to a degree, but that aspect is an extremely small factor per unit as its a 1/10th to start with, not a 1/1 scale. Are you really saying, that because it's smaller it should just cost less? That it?
