Most of my "hobby time" has been focused on small-scale machines lately. Between weather woes and overall fun, I've found these tiny (tiny) trucks to be a fun distraction from the day-to-day grind.

Among my growing collection of 1/18, 1/24, 1/30, and 1/64 radio-controlled vehicles, one platform stands out from the crowd: Axial's SCX30. Introduced in late 2025, this 1/30-scale micro crawler is amazingly fun to drive right out of the box, and it offers a new world of customization and upgrade options for hobbyists who are looking to improve its performance.

In this episode of The RC Newb Podcast, I take an up-close look at the SCX30, examining its appearance and performance as it's tested on some indoor obstacles.
