A colleague of my dad took part in the ‘86 camel trophy… all the prep first and later all ‘war stories’… Oh man, did that make a lasting impression; almost 40 yrs later I pretty much jumped up for joy seeing this scale model just yet!
Same here, so excited to get this. My dad doesn't do RC stuff but I'm buying him one because I know he'll appreciate it. Such good memories of these trucks
Nice little Crawler. I like it much more than my TRX-4M. I found it funny when he said: I stopped putting drivers in these crawlers and would let the manufacturers do it and then proceeded to put a driver in it. Lol
Aye I thought I would throw this in, I noticed that fms website has some xtra upgrade parts, and they have drivers with interior replacements available. Looks like 2 different drivers available for each vehicle.
You did a very good review and drive. The truck performed extremely well with no updates. The oil shocks were big help. It might've been you or another reviewer who described a good crawler as composed. That applies here. These will sell very well in the UK with all the different models of British trucks/SUV's. It has a lot going for it with bearings, two speed gear box, etc.
At last! I've spent years banging on about how under-represented the OG Range Rover is in the RC world - and at last a manufacturer has come out with a hard-body RTR Rangie! Even better - it's a cracking RC, with the kind of off-road prowess that made the full-size version legendary. I even quite like the stock wheels - and it comes with sticky tyres too!
@@TomleyRC I always hope that my personal favourite scale, 1:12, will get more new models. WPL and their imitators have done some good work, as has Team Associated with their CR12 models, but in general it seems to be 1:10, 1:16/18, and 1:24 that attract the most buyers. I'd still be chuffed to see a 1:10 RTR Rangie, though. I mean, the thing's an absolute icon!
@@Del350K4 I just want Hasbro & the RC OEMs to agree on…pretty much any size! p.s. It does seem like 1:10 is the sweet spot for scale effects in how the vehicle rides (drives).
@@JoeOvercoat 1:10 scale rigs do well on terrain that would stop my 1:12 stuff in its tracks. I like to go out on a bicycle with a crawler in a box on the back, which is one reason I prefer 1:12 - it's the largest rig I can easily carry, along with Tx camera, tripod, etc.
3:04 when I was in the display industry, a supplier brought me in VHB velcro. It had wire fuzzies and you needed to slide a knife or slim jim between it to get it apart. I think it was rated at 120 lbs psi? I had speakers on the dash board of my boat that had 2 thin strips. People were always worried about them flying off in rough seas..."yeah right, you can't PULL those off" (many tried)
FMS did a proper troll of Axial and Traxxas! I thought the same about the Range Rover being the least seen style of Rover in RC, and that's the one I ordered. I also ordered the 110 because I've always loved that model. Thanks for the review!
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I suggest what they’re doing here is leveraging the market familiarity with the terminology that TRAXXAS has established. p.s. Range Rover on pre-order. 😊
The recovery boards are an optional extra just for the record. You can get a driver too I've just seen. 'Upgrade Parts - FCX24M Range Rover Blister Seat Compartment with Figure B'
Glad you figured out the lights! 🤣😉 I ran the Range Rover today and it definitely performs better than the Discovery. Haven't tried the Defenders yet, but for me the Range Rover and Disco is where it's at. 👍
WANT. The Range Rover is definitely the best of the bunch. Nicely proportioned with the wheel and tire setup and the looks are stellar. Performance seems on par with the rest of the package. I'm sure mountains of upgrades will become available.
That little truck is a pearler. Crawls really well. I like how when you were talking yourself up the was this embarrassed silence. RC people are just a bit different. I was thinking you could do a comparison between whatever newer crawlers are about and the ones from a couple years back. See if there is a difference.
@@TomleyRC You have to channel your inner Irish and give them that little grin so they know you are pulling their leg. Winks work, too. AND YOU ARE A TROPHY WINNER! Certainly in our minds. 😊
I don’t think it will come close to the aftermarket support of the SCX24, TRX4M, and even FMS’s FCX24, but it’s not built for that. It’s built for super scale looks and driving, and I love it for that.
Awesome little crawler! You should put this new version up against the trx4m bronco and newest scx24 with oil shocks. That would be a great video! It would help a lot of people decide on which one to buy. Like myself.
I’m telling you! FMS should make a esc system for 24’s or all scale for that matter , to be able to drive 2 or plus cars at a time I would drive all my rigs at once
Dwamn this little crawler performance well! Time to test the new FTX utah brushless now 😊 and please keep on doing what you´re doing Phil.grts from Belgium
Man, your videos are really scratching an itch for me. I've had so much fun bashing my old Tamiya Fighter Buggy when I was young, but haven't done much RC anything for quite a while. I am really tempted to go for a crawler this time, because I don't really have a track for the buggy around. At least none without "proper 800€ Buggy-Snobs" xD
Got my Defender 90 today, nice little truck except that while i was test running it around the floor it lost its front drive, had a look and a UJ in the front propshaft had broken. While I was removing it to fit one of the spares they give you (and ordering a metal upgrade!) I realised that the reason it broke was that the front axle was locked up solid, turns out a tooth had broken off the pinion gear and jammed the axle. I have contacted the seller about a replacement gear, can't tell if it is a weak design or maybe mine was just defective?
Oh, I really like it. It's so cute and with all those details. Where did you find that figurine you put inside? It fits perfectly! I have a 1/24 scale but I can't find a driver with the right proportion. And if I find it, in the end, it's not as detailed as yours. Please tell me where you found it :D Going back to talking about the beautiful FCX24M; Haven't you noticed that the transmission is counter-rotating? I think this is a great touch
I often grab a handful of cheap figures from various toy shops and then put them all in a box… and when I have a new truck I see what will fit. Yes, noticed the counter rotating trans 👌
Yeah, that was a great recovery, I just ordered yesterday the defender 110. I’m stoked about getting it. Appreciate the video super cool course I like it.👍👍
Great car and decent price! I would really love to see comparism of this one (or the Defender 110) and the Defender 90 to see how much the shorter wheelbase affeccts its performance!
I don't particularly care about the model having a high c of g, but I need the Discovery version! The brass wheel weights will help. Impressive scale look and superb ability. Nice one FMS! Cheers for the review, Phil.
@@HilltopRCracing yes, the rig occasionally will have a lot of take up in the gears, mine does it as it pulls off and when coming down obstacles. Even my Furitek wagon does it somewhat. I'm not sure if the scx24's worm drive eliminates the effect...
I really doubt you’ll answer this but man…how do you get this figured in this car? To super glue them or something? I’ve been trying to get what I think is the smallest figure into this thing and I can’t make it work. Maybe a video showing you doing this process or something would be super appreciated! Thank you for the videos you are great!
Incredible! What an awesome mini crawler track you got there Phil! 👌👏👏👏 And Wow! FMS won't stop surprising me, for good reasons only! I hope they don't get greedy and set their prices high in the future... "cx" and "m" is defenitly a wink at Axial and Traxxas. I kinda don't like that marketing strategies but it sure works... Isn't that tyre pattern another wink at Traxxas?? 🤔😅
Man i wish i had this! i only have my trx4m and none other crawlers so i dont think i should watch any more of these videos or else im gonna compare it to mine and see how few features it really has
Don't we all follow trends! Lol. I really like this new Fms Fcx24 design! A lot of positives for sure! I wish the output on transmission was side by side instead of up and down. Front driveshaft is tucked way up in a way sacrifice suspension travel
Definetly wouldn't use the included charger. It charges with 1A and the battery has around 300ma. So you're charging with over 3,5c which is way too much.
Hey man, just wondering if you know where i can get hold of a 313mm Land Rover discovery body? Ive already piled alot of money into my crawler and dont really want to have to go buy the MST just for the body...
Would you recommend this for a 5 year old? (Not the first rc car, but the mother keeps buying those toy ones without proportional everything much to my annoyance)
Mon fils a eu le Fcx24 k5 blazer pour ses 5 ans car j’en avais marre qu’il me prenne mon trx4 def… cela fait 4 mois qu’il a sa voiture mais c’est comme si elle avait roulé 2 ans😂, une seule chose à cassé : ce sont les pignons de transmission arrières mais remplacés par des pièces en métal. Il en est ravi et moi aussi.
Hey I have a question for yah! Huge follower and love your content. Would I be able to swap the ESC/Receiver from an SCX24 Deadbolt with the ESC/Receiver from a WPL C64-1 and use the battery and remote as well since I'd be swapping. The motor uses the same plug as WPL does I believe.

@@TomleyRC which driver did you use Phil? It’s a great look!
Thanks for the crawling demonstration. Many channels only focused on trail running for these.
Not bad.. was thinking of getting a small crawler since I'm working on a mini crawler park, FCX24M might just be the one I'm getting 😆
Gotta collect them all
It’s so nice
@@leenhamoen4171 They sell them at a discount when the customer buys two or more, up to four.

love um,want all 4, will look amazing on the shelf, aswell as out an about 😊👍👍
FYI. If you buy all 4 at the same time from FMS, they discount them to $99 each.
@JT-6s really, wow 😀 gonna definitely do that ,thanks mate 😀👍👍👍
Awesome little crawler! You should put this new version up against the trx4m bronco and newest scx24 with oil shocks. That would be a great video! It would help a lot of people decide on which one to buy. Like myself.
Loving the Range Rover, I have a 10th scale body to paint, cant find a 290mm wb. chassis to put it on yet.
Wish I had time to play with toys still. Sadly I have a life that demands more work than play. Miss my Tamiya days Grasshopper and Dirt Thasher
These are great for indoors ! Too

Very cool little truck.
Nice ending to finish the video ❤!!! More of that please for future videos 📹 💓
this is really cool crawler
It's all about that range rover for me 😍😍😍
I served my time as a mechanic with Range Rovers and Land Rovers back in the very early 70s, love them to bits, all of them.
Hopefully my one will arrive in the post next week 🤗thanks for the review....Harry
Always a fan of mini crawlers
Pretty impressive little truck, Phil! Fantastic indeed! 😃
Great ride and review!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I could see people tricking TONS of people by making it look as REAL as possible
Yes 👌
Best finishing to a video I knew she could make it I was cheering it on as well. Lol cheers mate
Haha.. cheers Ben
The little RC that can.
Yes 🙌🏻
Nice to see it in the flesh last weekend!
Looked good didn’t it 👌

I wish I had a reason to buy more crawlers. This brand keeps putting out beauties.
maybe max out on upgrades to your current ones then later on, you'll want a new one??
I want crawler under 200$ and i dont know which one should i get i mostly want to drive it outdoors can u suggest me some?
Nice Claas tractor and silage wagon by the way. Im a model collector of agriculture myself plus i build machinery from cardboard and plastic.
2:39 hook and loop usually means Velcro. Velcro is a name brand. Hook and loop is the type of fastener.

1st time seeing your indoor course. Do you have a video showing it in full? Coffee pit is a great idea.

The drivetrain back lash looks to be reduced from the previous models, probably the straight axles, less gears, less lash.

Wow it really performed well
Oh my God i love it. I need a disco 1 personally.
That last crawl tho
What is your most recommended mini crawler? I've seen a lot of videos about mini crawlers, and would like to get one soon.
Just remember folks no coffee beans were hurt in the filming of this video 😂
Any chance we could get a look at your watch collection . I know it's not rc related, but I can't be the only one who wants to see them .
Oooh, I wonder if the metal chassis can be swapped to fit the other fcx24 older models?
That look great fun, perhaps worthy of a MORR sticker set?
Man i wish i had this! i only have my trx4m and none other crawlers so i dont think i should watch any more of these videos or else im gonna compare it to mine and see how few features it really has
What battery where you running in the Video because you said that another Battery fits aswell but i couldn't see what battery it was?
Those tires 😂 i think the sand boards on the roof rack are a bit big think i might have to get one of these cheers tomley
Gotta cath'em all!
Looks like you found a driver for the truck where did you find it at looks great
I like that crawler.I do have a question.I have a 118th rc car.I was wondering if they make a universal motor mount
Wow, that thing is good... Now which to get...
Tough choice.. gotta be the Range Rover or Disco
@@TomleyRC they look so good and different, thought i have always loved the 90, and a 110 Wolf Defender
Awesome little beast 🤠💯🇬🇧🙏
Crawwwler shark DOO DOO
Change that velcro out for some magnetic strips
