Overview
Experience the ultimate in scale RC crawling with the RC4WD 1/24 Trail Finder 2 RTR W/ Mojave II Hard Body Set in striking red. This is a ready to run RC car that brings all the engineering excellence and attention to detail of RC4WD's acclaimed 1/10 Trail Finder 2 down to an incredibly compact 1/24 scale. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast looking for a desk-top scale model or a beginner seeking an affordable entry point into the world of RC off-road vehicles, this 1/24 scale crawler delivers genuine performance and authentic styling in a package that's perfect for indoor courses, garden trails, or display purposes. The Mojave II hard body set comes factory-painted in a vibrant red finish, giving your RC car UK-grade quality right out of the box.
This ready to run RC crawler is engineered for serious terrain performance despite its diminutive size. The 1/24 Trail Finder 2 combines meticulous scale detail with functional suspension geometry and drivetrain technology that allows it to navigate challenging obstacles with surprising capability. From rocky garden paths to imaginary indoor courses, this brushless RC crawler responds to the same design philosophy that makes the full-size Trail Finder 2 a legendary platform amongst RC hobbyists. The combination of scale tyres, functioning axles, and responsive steering makes this one of the most engaging small-scale RC vehicles available in the UK market today.
RC4WD has engineered this 1/24 scale model with the same dedication to quality that has made them one of the most respected names in scale RC crawling worldwide. Every component, from the CNC-machined aluminium chassis to the officially licensed Mickey Thompson Baja Claw tyres, has been selected to deliver authentic off-road performance at a scale where precision engineering truly matters.
Key Features

Technical Performance
The RC4WD 1/24 Trail Finder 2 represents a remarkable achievement in micro-scale RC engineering. Despite its compact dimensions of just 203mm in length, 91.7mm in width, and 88.7mm in height with a 120mm wheelbase, this crawler packs serious performance credentials. The all-new R6 Micro Transmission features a sophisticated 30:1 gear reduction that works in concert with the 1.15:1 internal ratio to deliver impressive torque multiplication through hardened brass and steel gears contained within a durable nylon transmission case. The complete 1/24 D44 plastic axles feature a 2.67:1 ratio and are mounted in a genuine 4-link suspension arrangement both front and rear, providing the articulation and ground clearance (23.5mm) necessary for authentic crawling performance. The N30 motor drives power through the XR2 Ultimate Micro Radio system's integrated electronic speed control and receiver, all powered by the included 7.4V 320mAh lithium ion battery with balance charging capability. At just 0.44 pounds (0.2 kilograms), the entire package remains light enough for responsive handling whilst retaining the structural integrity required for off-road durability. The factory-painted Mojave II hard body in red provides authentic scale styling whilst protecting the mechanical components beneath. Build quality throughout reflects RC4WD's reputation for engineering excellence, with precision CNC-machined aluminium chassis components, officially licensed Mickey Thompson Baja Claw tyres, and professional-grade electronic systems that deliver reliable performance session after session.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the 1/24 Trail Finder 2 suitable for beginners to RC crawling? — Absolutely. This ready to run RC crawler arrives fully assembled with all electronics installed and pre-configured, requiring only battery charging before you can begin crawling. The intuitive radio system and forgiving scale make it ideal for newcomers whilst retaining the engineering quality that experienced RC enthusiasts demand. The compact size and durable construction mean learning mistakes are generally inexpensive to repair.
- What battery does the RC4WD 1/24 Trail Finder 2 use and how long does it last? — The Trail Finder 2 comes equipped with an RC4WD 7.4V 320mAh lithium ion battery featuring a balance charging plug for convenient fast charging. Runtime varies depending on driving style and terrain, but typical sessions last 15-25 minutes before requiring a recharge. The battery connects via a standard balance connector, making it compatible with most micro-scale LiPo chargers available in the UK market.
- Can the Mojave II body be painted a different colour? — The body arrives factory-painted in red, providing an excellent finish straight from the box. However, RC4WD hard bodies are plastic construction and can be repainted by the user if desired using appropriate plastic-compatible paints and techniques, allowing complete customisation of your RC crawler's appearance.
- What is the difference between the 1/24 Trail Finder 2 and the 1/10 version? — The 1/24 is a completely redesigned scale model built specifically for micro-scale applications, featuring the newly engineered R6 Micro Transmission, 1/24 D44 axles, and micro-scale servo and motor components. The 1/10 version uses different drivetrain and suspension components sized for the larger platform. Both share the same attention to detail and scale accuracy that defines the Trail Finder 2 name.
- Is this a waterproof RC car? — The Trail Finder 2 features sealed electronics and is suitable for outdoor trails and wet conditions typical of UK gardens, though it is not fully submersible. The ESC and receiver are integrated into the XR2 system and protected within the chassis, making the vehicle suitable for muddy and damp terrain commonly encountered during off-road crawling.
- What kind of terrain can this 1/24 scale crawler handle? — Thanks to its 4-link suspension, ground clearance of 23.5mm, and tough plastic construction, the Trail Finder 2 excels over rocky ground, logs, grass, gravel, and indoor obstacle courses. The Mickey Thompson Baja Claw tyres provide excellent grip on diverse surfaces, whilst the compact scale allows navigation through tight spaces impossible for larger RC vehicles.
- How fast does this RC crawler go? — The 1/24 Trail Finder 2 is engineered for crawling performance rather than maximum speed. The R6 transmission's 30:1 reduction provides impressive torque for obstacle climbing and articulation rather than top speed. This makes it ideal for precision driving and technical terrain navigation where control matters more than velocity.
- What is included with this ready to run RC car? — The RTR package includes the fully assembled chassis with Mojave II red hard body, all electronic components (servo, motor, ESC/receiver), and the 7.4V 320mAh lithium ion battery with balance connector. You need only charge the battery and you're ready to begin crawling immediately.
