@@jonmandelbaum5395 hello, thanks for watching! Yes, I weathered the power wagon’s body by using a medium sand paper (probably too abrasive and you’ll want to use a fine one…). The accessories I re-used from my kids’ toys 🤣👌
@ yes, brown rusty like primary coat and yellow on top. When you sand, you’re basically exposing the brown coat and on this body shell, it’s what gives you the weathering effect. 👌
@@trxvahey, as they share the same chassis, the body shells are swappable. I thought they were, but just wanted to confirm before coming back to you. 😃
@@kevinkuziw6801 it’s difficult to say, this is not a scientific comparison. The K5’s body is heavier and throws some of the weight towards the rear due to the weight of the body. This doesn’t happen with the Power Wagon. I think it’s down to personal preference and what you want from the truck. There are loads of mods available for the FCX24 Platform.
@@marciopereira1065 makes sense, I’m Trying to decide between this and the cr-18p rock van and or power Wagon. Also looking at the fcx-18 but it looks even more top heavy and just has a longer wheelbase, but looks more or less same size .
@@kevinkuziw6801 choices, choices… 😆 They’re all good trucks, again, just depends of what you’re looking to use the truck for. Please use my FMS affiliate link if you’re thinking about buying them. You won’t pay any extra but FMS sends a small fee towards my channel. 😄👊 thanks
Thank you for the videos, here watching now 1:31 PM Tuesday
Thanks for the support! 😃
Thank you for another interesting video. Really like your outdoor course!
Thanks! 😄
Nice mate ! So the parts are all the same? I mean size and stuff to be swappable
@@areldcookie5581 yes, pretty much. Both models share the same underpinnings. Only the bodies are different.
Cool video 🥳🤩
@@Flareside94 thank you so much for the kind words! 👍
Hey how did you rust the body for power wagon I want to do mine like that beautiful
Hi, I just used a sand paper. The rust colour you see is an under coat to the yellow paint. 👍
Did you weather and customize the power wagon body and accessories too

@ I thought it was yellow plastic with like rust paint on it or something

@ cool. What was the original color of the plastic
@ to be honest, I don’t know… I never sanded that deep to find out… 😂 I only got to the brown coat.
Are the bodies swappable?
Never tried to be honest. Will try…
@@marciopereira1065 thanks man. Let me know how it goes. Great video btw!

@@marciopereira1065 you rock thanks bro
@@trxva👊👊 thanks!
So the power wagon is a more capable crawler?
@@kevinkuziw6801 yes, slightly on the basis that the body is far lighter that the K5 body. 👍
@@marciopereira1065 how significant would you say it is?

I’m finding your narration a little hard to hear.
@@jonmandelbaum5395 I recorded directly from my phone and this is an old video I made, so technique is not the best, I’m afraid… 👍
Cool video 😊done subscribes bro
Thanks! 😀
