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
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.
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.
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. 👍
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)
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.
I have a FCX24 Lexus G470 and bought my FCX24M Range Rover and love it. I put a lot of upgrades on my FCX but only needed to reposition the factory shocks and upgraded the wheels to beadlocks and new 56 x 22mm tires and now this thing is a BEAST! I kinda hated the body at first but with the upgraded lift and new black and gold beadlocks I'm starting to really enjoy the look of this rig. Love the FCX24M Range Rover.
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'
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
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.
Ive just ordered one of these after your review popped in my suggestions. Lol. Great unboxing and review mate. I was torn between the Defender or the TRX4m. Decided on one of these due to the 2 speed. Looked the easier of the two to control slowly out of the box
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
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.
According to the specs online, the discovery(and I suspect the other models as well) is actually about an 18th scale. This is excellent news for me, because I have a growing collection of 18th scale crawlers and trail trucks.
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. 😊
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.👍👍
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
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?? 🤔😅
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?
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.
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.
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 👌
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
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!
@@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...
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
I get every aspect of RC besides crawlers. I know loads of people love them but for whatever reason it's just not for me.. that being said, keep pumping out these videos! I love your content! Also... Do you do anything with watercraft?
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.

love um,want all 4, will look amazing on the shelf, aswell as out an about 😊👍👍

Nice Claas tractor and silage wagon by the way. Im a model collector of agriculture myself plus i build machinery from cardboard and plastic.
I bought one and my low down modulation pulses. Why? Can I add grease or something?
this is really cool crawler

4 dr defender looks so good, like the disco too, rover is nice as well.
The music change, had me thinking a boss Battle was happening 😂 #90sKids
😅
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?
The little RC that can.
Yes 🙌🏻
Do the velcro get loose after time?
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
Awesome crawler. And great driving
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
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!
Good look
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??
2:39 hook and loop usually means Velcro. Velcro is a name brand. Hook and loop is the type of fastener.
Yes I know… I also call Vacuum cleaners ‘Hoovers’ 😅
No one ever replies to my comment let alone the creator. Love the channel.

I’m watching now Saturday, June 29. Well again appreciate you sharing i’ll catch you on the next one.👍👍
Nice to see it in the flesh last weekend!
Looked good didn’t it 👌
Definitely think it's the best looking of the 4
Oh, I really like it. It's so cute and with all those details.

I don't know...
Its kinda hard to beat the jubbly driver 🤣😂🤣 THAT had me rollin
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?
Wow it really performed well
Looks like you found a driver for the truck where did you find it at looks great
The tires on this thing also looks strangely similar to the canyon trails
Oooh, I wonder if the metal chassis can be swapped to fit the other fcx24 older models?
Oh my God i love it. I need a disco 1 personally.
Got a trx4m hightrail with over 200 bucks worth of upgrades yet this lil guy is out performing it
It's awesome! I know why it's yellow but I wish it wasn't 😄
Haha
What driver figure did you put in there?
If i want to upgrade to larger capacity battery, can you suggest 1?
Great review, cheers 👍🏻
the seat goes to the roof in the thing lolol
Nice video! Where is the power switch on this one? The location of the switch on the Power Wagon really sucked!
In general is this better than the scx24 and trx4m? Both of the competitors have tons of aftermarket especially the axial
What is your most recommended mini crawler? I've seen a lot of videos about mini crawlers, and would like to get one soon.
Honestly, I’m not a smart arse…. much, but they’re ’Sand Ladders’.
😇
I really doubt you’ll answer this but man…how do you get this figured in this car? To super glue them or something?

Awesome little beast 🤠💯🇬🇧🙏
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
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 .
Im completly new at the Hobby and thinking about getting the trx4m but this Thing is way cheaper..which one is the way to go for my first crawler ?
That look great fun, perhaps worthy of a MORR sticker set?
That last crawl tho
The drivetrain back lash looks to be reduced from the previous models, probably the straight axles, less gears, less lash.
Is that the hesitation it does after stepping down off objects?

Also... Do you do anything with watercraft?
I love this one! But it makes me wonder - Maybe i am weird but isn't there something 1/18 or 1/24 with open diffs?
Why do all these tiny crawlers have the same extract chassis design? I have a scx24 the trx4m is pretty much the same setup.
Heck even the kyosho ones are the same
I am always looking out for a good deal on a betty. I have a dozen 1/24 and 1/18s, but NO Betty 😢
