Dude that thing in that color looks straight up almost like metal...
I really think this is their best one on this chassis yet, and I love the mashigan
True huh on the metal look. Maybe someday I'll have it patina'd with some rust action.
Enjoyed the video, beautiful looking rig, and the upgrades definitely made a deference. Very nice, thx for sharing👍
Many thanks for the video just ordered one in yellow will be hear in the nexts few days i will be doing the shock mod/change along with the motor to a fusion its all i run in my trucks now 😎😎👍👍👍👍
Wonderful!! To me this one of the best 4x4, can crawl, heavy off road model in this year. Ciao!
Your backyard reminds me of mine. Good MTBers always seem to have an old tire pile somewhere... 👍🏼
It looks so much better with those wheels and the shocks have transformed the scale handling performance
Night and day for sure. I'll get it out on the rocks too and see.
Yup gonna have to order one of these when I get home from Colorado which btw if you live in cascade/Colorado Springs you are so incredibly lucky the scenery is absolutely spectacular not to mention the amount of spots around for crawlers I’m kicking myself for not bringing one 😂
Great upgrades… Thank you so much for this video!!!
thank you.
I just installed a Hw 1080g2 esc today. Completely changed the crawl. Also installed jconcepts holds on treal vintage wheels
That is the classic route. We were actually thinking of the Treal vintage wheels.
Cool! A real one is my all time dream vehicle.
Great up grade advice for an awesome vehicle.👍
Thank you. Looks and performance for not a lot of money!
Wow I love that RC…. Wish I had known about this before I went all in on the Traxxas defender
You're in a good spot as well with the iconic Defender.
Love the mods, Could you do a comparison video to the RC4wd fj
Great info! I just ordered a set of shocks for mine per your suggestion. You're right about the ESC, it's terrible. I painted the recess on the hood flat black & added 6 lug white steely wheels, brake rotors, F lock out hubs + Milestar tires. To come: winch, HW ESC, driver, lights, etc. Aliexpress has the correct colored qtr. panel emblems.
Love Aliexpress. Have you been able to find any inner fenders? I was able to find a set for the front on ebay but not for the rear.
I have the 3D printed front liners & they fit great! Since the hard body comes down to the frame in back, I just painted mine flat black.
hi there, any link for shocks available?
Awesome videos. Please post a link to the big bore shocks you installed.
Awesome looking rc truck 🚒👍👍👍👍
thank you!
I'm gunna run the 1.9x4.19 tires on mine and possiy75mm with 30% droop. Kinda get a little flex 💪 lol Rc4wd winch for this bad boi ❤❤❤
Woohoo I've been waiting for your recommendations. Here's what I've done: 1080 Hobbywing, Reefs Raw 500, MyTrickRc Dragon 2 controller, large and small light bars and rock lights that I mounted to the roof rack, 2 red, 2 orange tail lights, also MytrickRc, some sweet Injora brushed aluminum bead locks, 80mm shocks (which may not fit), a giant T-Rex skull on top and RJ McCready (Kurt Russell) behind the wheel.
So, so cool with RC McCready!!!!!
Hi, I really love your videos 🍻 Great content !
I looking to buy FJ40 model. But I’m bit stuck in between RC4WD Gelande II and FMS. I did some research looks like due to the scale accuracy there are lack of modification parts for FMS. So my heart says go for RC4WD. What is your recommendation? Appreciate your comment 😊
Got mine today!
You mention 65mm shocks, can you install something like 70mm shocks? Will that just raise the truck up 5mm or give you more travel? Thanks for your videos and help as always!
Where did you get the shocks from? part number please? Also the same with the esc. Where and part number please. I cant wait to upgrade it. I just received it! This this is awesome! so realistic! thanks guy!
Recessed area between hood and grill should be painted black for authenticity
Good set of truck nuts should help lower the weight
Nice! Did you consider converting it to leafsprings?
great video, if its possible for you to send me the name of the suspension (shocks kit) we have not found one with enough damping .... thanks
Just getting into the hobby. I am waiting on my FMS FJ40 to arrive. I am hard of hearing and was wondering what shocks you replaced the factory shocks with. Thank you
lead shot in the tires
Please can you tell me the weight ? and great upgrade suggestions. I was going to buy a 75 mm shocks
Wheel adds weight directly in line with center line of axle. If you add weight below that, it’s lower than the wheel. Diff skids n such.
Correct, correct. So the true lowest, significant weight is.... brass portal axles. They're designed to put a lot of weight below the axle line.
G.I. Joe looks like he is hitting his head on the roof. Lol
Great video. Im buying one!
Nice video. Just wanted to know, so where can one purchase those shocks ?
AMAZING
Thank you. Not a lot of money either.
There exists a fluid, for bike tires, wich you can press in the tubes, to prevent a flat. This fluid will also replace the foam...
Orange seal
Can you do an fj40 soze comparison of the fms and rc4wd?
The link for the lights, did you ever get that upgraded?
Hi,
can you please show the link to the lighting kit?
Lower weight? People put bbs in the wheels to float at the bottom but im against adding rotating weight beyond a degree...
Id say a heavy tire compound
Diff cover
Or axle housing is gunna matter more than a ring low?
Very nice, I'm actually getting some km3 this weekend. what foams are you running?
These are dual stage by Cross-RC. I think Proline dual-stage will be key for this heavy beast.
Speaking about heavier shock oil, what wt did you use?
Where did you buy the 65 mm shocks can send me the link
I just got mine! Can you please point me to the shocks and ESC you used? I’m new to the hobby and realizing you can spend as much $ as you want on this stuff. =)
What was the recommendation for the light upgrade, you never put the link in the description...?
Subbed!
Hey there..what if i put 70mm big bore?? Because i couldn't find 65mm shocks in my country..is there any problem if i install 70mm big bore shocks? Or is it still plug and play? Thanks
BBs in the tires would b lower cg. But that means you have to take out foams
They would need to slosh around the bottom of the tire to be lower than axle weight. And that's not really practical or will perform well.
After I calculated, I think the scale ratio is more like 1:8
Would the Yeah racing big bore go 65mm work?
Great upgrade suggestions to my favorite FMS model thus far. My second is the Machigan. Love trailing running that one.
Now time to get some parts ordered and start upgrading. Also suggest a scale Warn winch for yet another asthetic yet functional upgrade ;-)
you know... i have a Warn winch sitting in the drawer! Done deal.
@@RCReviewChannel Perfect!
FMS needs to come up with a red color version.
Which shock weight did you go with?
Yep! The wheel barrel is the lowest part of the truck. The only way to get that point lower would be a shorter tire.
wheel weight is actually the same as axle weight. That's because half is below the axle and the other half is above the axle. There is something lower
Hi could you tell me who made theses shocks you have used for this toy Thanks
Is that the ISDT70 esc?
Do you think the transmission would hold up with fusion se
Which ESC did you bild in the toyota fj40
I'm newer to all of this, what parts do you recommend for upgrading the Mashigan
ESC and shocks, just like on this video. Hobbywing 1080 ESC is best.
😮😮 what size figure do you have inside??
What number shock oil did you go with? Thanks for sharing
Shock oil is highly dependent on the shock and the size of the piston hole. But... compared to a traxxas or Axial shock which typically uses 30wt. oil, this shock feels like a 70 or 80wt.
Water, or some fluid like mass. That is a lower weight. I've seem some very specialized crawlers do it.
Imagine a hollow axle filled with thick viscous oil. If it had controlled " room " so it didn't slosh to one side side Hilling...
That is true but it is not practical
Balance beads in the tyres would be as low as you could get I rekon
I have a way to get weight lower than the rim.... But I ain't tellin' lol 😉
(Nope not fluid in the tires, that's ok but it screws up the foams)
(Not BBs either doesn't really work with foams)
Rim weight is really the same as axle weight in terms of height. The reason... half the weight is above the axle and the other half is above the axle... always.
I mean with those upgrades.....
Bbs in the tires is technically lower cg
Put ball bearing weight in the tires.
The rack and shocks gotta go , I'll ditch the bunk beds too , but I really like it , I usually put some weight on the axles some where
Perfect! Those seats in the back, I'll just keep folded up until there are some passengers back there.
Not yet received mine, already have a better hobby wing esc, but really fancy that wheel and tyre combo! Anyone able to help me with exactly which ones please? Ill get shocks and light kit too.

@@RCReviewChannel Hi thanks so much! Keep the videos coming on that fms! Love your stuff!
Got my G-Made 6 lug white steelies (VR01) from Amain. Mounted the lug bolts in from the back side so the front shows the wheel stud & the lug nuts, which are included with the wheels
I wonder if the Boom Racing Yota Classic center hubcap would work with this style hub? It would give you the classic FJ40 hubcap look. I know they work on the gelande 2 FJ40, same type of mount? Also can you do a comparison of the gelande 2 FJ40 from RC4WD to this FMS FJ40? I am sure that would be a shootout everyone would love to see! Which performs better, quality, parts availability, etc…. Thanks!
Could you put it next to an scx6?! No one… has done it. I’m very curious in the difference. I don’t need one, but for $350! Dang it…. I think I need one 😂. Thanks for your time
It'd take four of these to be as big as the SCX6, trust me. A few buddies have SCX6's, and I have the FJ. It's big, but I think some are going a lil overboard.
It's a bit bigger than a TRX4.
I'd say about 1/8 scale. . .
@@OkieDokieBoi thanks for the info! So putting scx6 axles, tires and wheels on the fj probably wouldn’t work then. I was thinking like scale… 1 ton axles with 44” tires on a real 1/1 build. Thanks! 👍
@@OkieDokieBoi it's about 1/6 because the original FJ40 was not a big vehicle. It's all about proportion in reference to the original 1:1 vehicle.
@RCReviewChannel that's fair and understandable. You're not wrong. I'm just trying to clarify its actual size in person. I've seen way too many thinking it's as big as an SCX6, which it isn't even close.
BBs for a BB gun in the tires.
Yeah, anything heavy, like lead weights. And then duct tape them in place.
@@RCReviewChannel I just leave them loose so they can find the lowest point in the tire which will naturally be the contact patch. It makes a world of difference on small scale rigs like the TRX4M. On larger rigs it can help up to a point, but then it hurts because it can pull the truck down depending on the approach angle.
Link for the shocks?
Yeah Racing has some similar ones: 65mm Big Bore Go damper. They come with some tuning stuff for around 20-24€ a pair.
For about $50 more you can get a Austar AX-X6 with 2 speed gearbox & locking & unlocking diffs not to mention a hard body & beadlock wheels!!!! Pass on the FMS crap 💥
Do you have an AX-X6?
I do, and I can tell you it has nothing on the FMS, neither quality nor appearence!
@@solorex2383 Your insane bro' with a few tweeks mine out performs a TRX6
@@jimiwith2eyes i didn't say anything about performance, but i don't believe you... 🤣
Ax-x6 is a cheap clone with a ok body, the Fms is a model car with good performance.
Two different beasts.
@@solorex2383 Performance? 🤣I like clones because all the aftermarket parts for a TRX4- 6 fit without any fuss bro' as for FMS performance they just plain DON'T💥
The AX-X6 is NOT an FJ-40. Don't see the comparison.
