R/C crawling can be quite challenging and technical, depending on where you’re driving and what you’re hoping to drive over. Set against the flat black grille, this crawler looks mean when lit up and driving towards you. They project a small amount of light in front of the DashCam, however, they primarily add a scale visual feature to this Jeep…and it’s an awesome one. There are LED lights behind the headlight lenses, which illuminate as soon as the vehicle is turned on. Small details such as the mesh plastic roof and exposed roll-bar doors give this vehicle a rough and tumble attitude, which is contrasted with the sportscar-like hood vent details. New Bright never seems to skimp on attention to detail with their bodies, which is why so many of their “hardbodies” end up mounted to hobby-grade radio-controlled vehicles.Īs a side note, if you love the look of this body, New Bright has created a ⅛-scale version of the Jeep Trailcat, minus the FPV component, which should match up well with a 1/10-scale crawling rig chassis ( such as the Axial SCX10, Vaterra Ascender, Traxxas TRX-4, Carisma SCA-1E or Redcat Racing Everest GEN7). That’s the first aspect that grabbed my attention while I was checking out the latest vehicles in Walmart’s toy aisle. 1 Jeep Trailcat DashCam R/C Crawler – $59.97 ( Available at Walmart.When the New Bright R/C 1/14 DashCam Jeep Trailcat hit the shelves of my local Walmart, I was immediately drawn to it, both for its beauty, as well as its promise of a low-cost, entry-level FPV experience.Īfter wheeling this machine for a few months, both indoors and out, as well as witnessing some younger drivers take a turn behind the controls, I’m pleasantly surprised by what New Bright has brought to the table. They sometimes lack some of the refinements and “polish” that you’d find in a hobby store model, however, there are some surprises. Toy aisle R/C discoveries can be hit or miss, both from a quality and experience standpoint.
