- 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.

If only all my cars were this size I could fit them in one room. Great little things
now this is what i wasn‘t looking for but need to have
So cool. Your recent interview with the guy making the 1/10 kit makes me appreciate how hard this must be to manufacture.
Yep, not an easy one to do for sure.
It’s nice, nice and expensive
That's a very cool car, it uses quality electronics and it seems to handle pretty well on the track. Excellent video RcKicks!
This makes me wish Losi made the Micro T again.
I JUST wish I could get replacement parts for all the Mini T 1.0s that I have money sunk into!!!
...or my $500+ Losi SNT! Holy crow, was that a waste of money. Losi/Horizon has absolutely atrocious (just about non-existent) parts/support. Therefore, I stay away from them now... It's a shame, too.
Wowsers that really is amazing 😍
Somebody should make replica bodies of famous 1/10 buggies for this! Looks awesome fun!
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.
That’s a tiny work of art - great video, thanks!
That thing's freaking awesome dude I'm not even going to watch the whole video because I'm going to go to eBay and try and find one for myself. 💙💙 Don't worry though I'll come back and watch your video for sure
Not on eBay, link in the video.
It is the nicest and most accurate to a full scale one I have seen, especially in this small of a package! It looked great out on the track as well!
Amazing video so hard to film something so small
Love it! Looks amazing.
What a nice kit. And very space saving too 😂
Yep just like everyone else that's commented this is freaking awesome Gav. I love it.
Yep, awesome. So they did a "RC10", now a "Ultima Pro", time for a Tamiya... like a 1/24 Astute ? Dyna Storm ? 😊
Dyna storm, now you are talking 🤔
That is an awesome kit!
Looks great i have to get one dose Rochester RC sell them 👍
Nope, the guy who makes them sells them. Link in the video description 👍🏻
Brilliant 👏
Awesome stuff here 🎉😊
Mini Ultima? Super cool!
At $259.99 it sure is priced like a big buggy!
The hobby is getting out of hand... That should not cost more than my 1/10s
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.
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
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.
Right B6.4s are onsale at Amain for $199 @akeemsealey2811
so cool
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.
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.
These are awsome little cars, im still hoping to get there rc10 version 🤞 all i can say is its a good job they didnt shrunk the split pins down to scale 😂
Yep I missed out on the RC10 myself. I tried to win a special edition on eBay but lost it in the last few seconds lol not sure if any of them will be made again
@@RCKickschannel i know, i hope they do, esp as the gold pan rere has reignited everyone.
So very cool
Now you need a Kyosho Optima or Inferno, in Mini-Z, to compare them !
no contest really, these NRC K24 buggies are a lot better than the Mini-Z buggy.
@@roguetorino i know, but it's time for Gav to get a Mini-Z. And The Optima Mid buggy is perfect, and maybe after that a road car
Looks spacious compared to working on a Losi Micro T! Awesome buggy though
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.
I have an NIB losi XXX spec that I am going to build like to see a mini version of the XXX
Problem with low production numbers though, is a year down the road, you break a part and it's impossible to find a replacement for.
@@massmike11 The mini T 1.0 is basically a 1/18 scale XXX-T ...be a good starting point, imho
@@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. Obviously this doesn’t cover you for everything but it does provide a decent amount of support for a lot of the stuff you are more likely to break.
@@billymanilli don’t want the T just the buggy not he truck.
Very nice one! 👍
That gear visible through the chassis underneath screams 'don't take me off-road!' 🤔
Very nice vid gavin👌.
Take my money now!
Gotta get it check out for top speed brother!
I’ll see if I can get that info for you tomorrow if it’s sunny out
I really appreciate this video I just want you to know that brother I got to get one of these things it had to have been kind of tedious to build
Put a little camera on the mini RC car and connected with a vr-glasses and have fun , drone ride 😂
Or send it into the ladies locker room.... good thing we didn't have all the options in the 80’s
Dope buggy, can you oil fill the shocks?
If they can ever get their price point down $100 I would love to buy one of those, that’s awesome.
$100! 🤦🏼 I want a Ferrari for £1,000 but…
@@RCKickschannel Oh, haha, I didn’t mean $100 is what I’d want to pay for one. I meant if they could get their price about $100 lower I’d be interested. 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.
You should try 1 24 drift cars
I have enough of an issue driving this, let alone a drift car the same size lol
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! ☀️✨🏎️
Brushless
@@RCKickschannelAwesome! Thanks!
Looks awesome. Happy to send you over my Mini-Z Optima Mid if you want to do a comparison?
I'm actually thinking about pulling the trigger on one for myself funny enough but thank you for the kind offer :)
What a lovely thing! Will take a look and compare to the mini Kyosho mp9 inferno…..looks loads better quality
The price point is crazy, but it's very nice.
Was the running part of the video in slow motion? It somehow looked a lot slower than I'd imagined! Especially for $260!
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
Oh they can go faster I assure you. Mine is uncomfortably fast if you pull that trigger all the way.
Interesting! Although I'm not into the mini z fad or the Losi mini stuff. But this looks cool. Did I see the tyres start to fall off when the on car cam was on?
Cool, I never knew about hobby grade 1/24 buggy. I like my MiniZ buggy but it is built like a toy.
Yep, this is basically a mini replica of a 1/10th vintage buggy, and as you know, nothing like a MiniZ
What a stunning bit of kit! The hobby sure has come a long way
sort of similar to a turbo optima chassis set up 👍
This video cost me 220 quid. Yeah....thanks Gav!
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.
awesome bit of kit but think my hands are to big to make that
Cool looking, but it looked very slow on the track
Filming for running not speed. I’m fat so have to go slower.
Just wondering, if it's a 2wd looking like a turbo ultima, what's with the optima mid livery?? 😊
I commented on this in the video :)
@@RCKickschannel oh crap. I missed it! Haha. My bad.
Lee i got to have one
Is the track width wider at the front than the rear?
Same I think off the top of my head
can you gps the topspeed, Gav? Pleeeeeeasse
You are old???? I'm 73. Just remember. In some of our eyes you are still quite young.
Or I’m old and you are really, really old heheh 😜 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love the look of that little buggy, but I can't help wondering, what's the point of it? YOu won't be able to race it at many places I suspect, but then again Mini-Z racing is quite popular, so why not? Nice one!!
brand new product, vintage collectible price.
Mini Ultima?
;)
Why did they choose to do 1/24 scale, i know Kyosho back in the days had 1/20 scale rc buggies, so why did NRC choose to do 1/24 that is realy tiny, tiny but cool.
I'm guessing now, but it's the engineering challenge I think. I need to ask Nigel from NRC Projects what is was. He also did an amazing RC10 Gold Pan but I missed the boat on getting one for the collection :(. NRC had a blue chassis limited edition on eBay for charity but I just missed out on winning that one.
Next to his first project a 1/32 RC10 Graphite …….. it’s huge!
Drive once and to collect dust on the shelf.
This actually went around the track well enough that you could take it with you and drive it more often. It was fast enough and turned really well with the servo I fitted to be fun enough to not just be a novelty.
Wait what? The decals? I guess they are not in the box?
Dew want...
I wish it was nitro. That'd be hilarious.
would be interesting to hear it run without the trademark-free synth-pop. It tells us a lot about the gearbox and so on....
the scale is small but the price is not!
uh, that looks like not a lot of material on some of the rod ends for the turnbuckles to screw into. otherwise a cute little buggy.
May look it but I have yet to pull any endlinks off running mine, even after a fairly nasty crash.
At that speed the racing won't be exciting. Needs more umph for sure
so is it worth 5 times the price of a wltoys 1/28 scale lol
LOL I think you completely missed the point of this scaled down replica of a vintage buggy and that tells me 100%, no this is not worth it for you at all. I would go with the WLToys 👍🏻.
@@RCKickschannel i totally understand your point but $250!!!! so over here in the UK your looking close to £300 after import duty. do you see my point lol
$?
Links are in the video description
ou
the price though.....
That so so so expensive for what it is
Nope, this is not for everyone.
$250!! Not a chance in the place of your choosing that I am spending nearly $300 on this thing.
Yep, not for everyone 👍🏻
Everything thing that is a upgrade is out of stock
Very nice, but ugh, you'll have US$600-700 into that thing by the time you're done. That's a lot of Costco hotdogs that's for sure.
For the price and having to assemble thats ridiculous
i bot the rc10 version , was the worst build experience i have ever had , its never worked , its possibly the worst car i ever bought , its seriously is just a shelf queen , so disappointed in this kit.
If you are in the UK, drop me a message as I’ll purchase it off you.
SORRY but NO! Cars on tracks don't need to be smaller, might as well buy an XBox
Lol...
If you have a small track you want a small car. This thing is awesome.
You can run it on a mini-z track if you wanted to. Different scales for different things. You know what I can't do with my 1/10 scales? Drive them in my house.
260$ 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.
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?
