It's not too often I do product reviews like this but after seeing what FMS offers at USTE, I was genuinely impressed. This is one cool little rig and I look forward to doing a few small things to it to make it my own. Thanks for watching everyone and I hope you all have a great weekend. 👍
The truck already has metal gears in the axles. And you can get metal gears for the trans. Swap out for an all metal geared servo and it should be indestructible. If you want to a wider track, a lot of 1/24 scale products swap over with little to zero modifications. I'm running mine with a 5mm spacer and rc4wd wagon wheels flipped.
That's a great deal Especially for someone new to the hobby who doesn't want to go broke just trying it out I started with a redcat Gen 8 which is in my opinion for the money the best introduction into crawling
It's cool enough without making any changes to the truck but I would 3D print a figure of myself to drive it that would set it off for me right there...if it was light blue it would remind me of my old boss man and cousin we were roofers and that truck would hall a hole roof of shingles squatting to the ground....excellent truck and very useful video thanks man take care
Thanks for the review and I can't wait to see what suggestions you will get as ideas to spruce up the track. The paint job looks really amazing and I hope the model is available in the UK too. Keep the good videos coming!
Thank you! I believe this model is available in the UK. Yes it will be cool to see what ideas people have. I've seen some very cool mods people have done to these trucks.
If you are looking for part ideas, a bumper receiver or a gooseneck for Bruder and/or Big Country trailers would be great (or any other trailers I may not know about)!
Can't wait to see you make some more custom 3d scale parts for this truck , i.e Inner door panels and other interior bits , scale windshield wipers , maybe a working winch and snowplow. If I had one I would cut th doors off body so I could make them open and close as well as have more scale appearance

I love it.. I'd really love an old 70s ford

do you mind telling me where you got the metal gears from i am in desperate need because mine is basically front wheel drive
@@iancody3362 the LC80 axle and transmission gear sets. They use the same housings. Ebay is where I got my sets.
The LC80 Landcruiser is NICE too.
Do u think that it would be possible for u to make some videos of how u design the Rc chassis and also design an Rc crawler chassis
BEST
KIT EVER!!!!!
very nice car . but how can i connect a sound module such as ess for example when the car has combo receiver ?
That's a great deal Especially for someone new to the hobby who doesn't want to go broke just trying it out I started with a redcat Gen 8 which is in my opinion for the money the best introduction into crawling
Perfect review! Thank you so much 🙌👌💯
Glad it was helpful!
Nice! Great thorough review love your content
Glad you enjoy it!
I figured out what looks off on this. The frount axle is to narrow. On sqaures the frount tires need to stick out about 2 inches more then the back.
Agreed

Very nice !! But it's a pity that there are no headlights and turn signals at the rear !! 😀

You should put some bull horns on the hood that will scream America

Very scale and great looking truck.
Is it really 1:18 scale?
It looks really nice, especially at that price! I mean, it looks great regardless of the low price.
Ngl you sound like Freiburger from roadkill
