Yeah, it’s a shame FMS treated me like crap and doesn’t want me to review their stuff anymore. I have sold more cars for them than anyone I took them from being the laughingstock of the hobby to showing what they really offer and gave them a ton of awesome ideas not only from marketing aspects, but also from developmental and design aspects of their products only to get treated like I am replaceable disposable and didn’t mean anything to them
I took the stock headlights from a trx4m f150, and used them for reverse lights after first using Wingnuts video mentioned here. I just snipped the orange LEDs off, and put a new plug on the end of the trx4m harness, then plugged that into the REV port.
Why would they send him a truck. He had such a small following and there are a million other people they could sent them to that get 50x the views he gets.
Yeah, I’ll probably start shooting that next week. We have a few days here to finish moving stuff and then I’ll be back at the channel giving it my all.
As soon as I get a nice set of deep dish wagon wheels, I will be doing that so if any companies, wink wink are watching and would like to see their deep dish, wagon wheels featured on the brand new FCX10 let me know, and I’ll let you know where to send them 😉🤘🏻 chrome, or white will look the best in my opinion
Definitely lots of cool features. and I am glad it's a Chevy because if it was a Ford I would probably be buying one,and I don't really need another lol.
You should! There’s a like on my channel description that will help saport the Chanel and wile your there make sure you check out there othere cool products
I’ve not seen to many Orange ones I just got mine & haven’t even ran it yet but I’ll definitely get some footage when I do get out with it. The Black also looks super good but I have the matching 1:24 FMS Orange Blazer so now I have a matching pair. 👍
I requested the orange one, they were originally going to send me the black one which they did end up sending me for an event. I have coming up with them so now I need to get a brown one to complete the collection plus I think the brown is honestly my favorite it’s a tossup between that and the orange, but the brown is just so old-school looking.
I know there’s a lot in the warehouse is right now and they’re already making aftermarket bumper so I’m sure there’s a ton of aftermarket support coming
OK, so I just got done talking to FMS and I think I have a solution for all of my Canada viewers. They can’t send them to Canada because of shipping costs but I can set up a thing through my Facebook or my channel where if you guys want them I will order them and re-ship them to you.
Looks cool, the electrical contacts make me nervous . The dig function I wouldn’t use, some people will . The proportions are off when it comes to side windows , roof etc. looks kind of funny , same on the new 1/18 truck. But that’s nitpicking , overall looks like a fun rig !
@@WingnutsRC I do like the rear wheel drive option , use 4wd when needed like a real truck , I do like the Chevys , I have Fords too. It would be nice if a company was brave enough to make something else, I understand they build what sells, but we’ve had lots of jeeps, squarebodys etc. need a change up I think, just my opinion.
I think it’s issues with them needing adjusted. I don’t know for sure, but I assume the demand for their products is pretty high right now higher than they’ve ever experienced and because of that some things slipped through the cracks with quality control. Fortunately it’s just minor adjustments from what I’ve seen. With the exception of Toms orange one although that lucky guy got three🤣
If anyone does have any issues with any of their FMS stuff definitely add me on Facebook and message me I’m more than happy to make videos or walk anyone through any issues
These are decent for the price.But you're kind of limited on upgrades.I would definitely suggest an axial if you if you want to do a lot of modifications However, if you'd want your most Bang for the buck out of the box and still be able to do some mods, then the FCX is a great choice
Great video, bearded brother. Just ordered the same color scheme, esp since I saw the fenders and cap, at a $60 value, are limited to the first run. You just can't beat the price with anything, anywhere. It kills the competition. All that plus the free gifts at $399.99 on the button, no tax and free shipping. Just WOW! First vid I've come across of yours, and I am a fan. Like and subbed most definitely. And I would love a video of the flasher delete that you did for full time running taillights... Thanks for the great vid...
That’s awesome. I’m glad to hear that you ordered one. I will definitely be putting a video up of how I deleted the flashers and turn signals. It was super easy and I didn’t have to cut anything. I believe they’re coming out with metal bumpers and some other upgrades, check my affiliate link in the description as that link also helps tremendously with the channel. If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up add me on Facebook that’s in my channel description.
@WingnutsRC yessir, will most definitely do that once I decide to reactivate the book. I'll surely utilize the affiliate links in the future, as well. Thank you much for your videos and links in helping the community. I have really become an FMS fanboy, myself, in a big way. As soon as I saw the reveal video, I knew this was born to be a TRX4 killer, and I love that. I'm very invested in Traxxas as they were my very first crawlers and bashers, wife has the TRX6. It's about time somebody really stepped up to the plate with real competition that can't be beat, imo. With the updated chassis of the FCX18 and now this, nobody is doing it like FMS and FairRC. I also have the updated LC80, which is a BEAST straight out the box. They're KILLING the game at amazing prices, performance, quality, and quantity. Not to mention all of the mod rigs. It's just amazing. FairRC is a super fun site just to even look through. Hats off and kudos to them both. Eat your heart out and beat it, Traxxas, far as I'm concerned. Tho, they still have their place, in a way, as far as bashers and whatnot. They're just too damn proud for my taste, anymore...
@jeffreysmejkalii8031 Go with the FMS FCX10. I have many TRX4's, and the FCX10 is so much better and enjoyable by a long shot, imho. I will never buy another TRX4 now. The FCX10 is every bit a TRX4 and some. So much more, even if they were the same price.
Do you have any idea why the fcx10 can't be sent to Canada? The new fcx18 can be. I got an Atlas 4x4 Shipped here!. what's the difference with the fcx10? Is it that much heavier then the Atlas?
I have one on the way. That's said, this video is just a paid advertisement. Traxxas banned ya and FMS sent ya every car they make. In return you're promoting their vehicle and making statements like " the shocks feel better than axial or traxxas'.
Not at all. I will let you be the judge when you get yours. It honestly is an awesome rig and I don’t get paid anything to do this stuff. Yeah they send me cool cars but that’s because I do a ton of work for them I give them a lot of their marketing ideas. Casey and I are the ones that came up with the FMS go events as well as a lot of other stuff with the company. I would give the same honest opinion to any other brand that sends me anything to check out. If you look through my channel I have promoted pretty much everyone at some point or another and I’m actually putting on a few events this month, directed at other brands, traxxas being one of them, as well as axial… only reason I do so many things for FMSis because they send me a ton of cars. Trust me I wish the other guys would send me stuff to review as well.
@WingnutsRC watching your video about being banned and then this it seems pretty clear that you're receiving compensation from FMS. As for mine, I received it and have two packs through it. I'm not impressed. It doesn't crawl well. The body is a pain in the ass to remove. The esc froze in reverse once. The indentations for the bed cap don't align with the supports meaning the cap isn't a perfect fit. A clicking has developed in low gear and the license plate fell off. I feel I should have spent my money on a Trx4 Defender. The FCX10 looks nice and is fun in second as a trail truck but even trucks $100 less preform better when facing moderate rocks. The countless misspellings on their website should have been a clue as to their quality control. I've seen several reports of dead servos both steering and micros. Even the steering servo isn't a standard size making a replacement more difficult than needed but you failed to mention that didn't you? Like I said, this was a paid advertisement. You do you though, I'm just sharing the impression your video gave me.
@@franklee6301can you possibly give me some more insight I’ve been window shopping for 2 weeks but have no clue what to decide on your one of three bad reviews
@@franklee6301I have mine & put everything together & I have no significant complaints so far but time will tell & so e of this info seems overstated & deceiving for example the license plate comment well turns out I remove my license plate STICKER & put a new one on & I can say this that sticker was thick & on there good so you must be referring to the sticker came off that’s a big difference then saying the license plate fell off & they give you a bunch of extras’ & you didn’t state anything didn’t work or broke & also I put my shell on & I will say the mounting is not very good those huge holes you have to drill are just to big rails maybe would’ve been a better way to mount it. But over all you have to look at the price for that price it’s 100% worth it & when comparing the price to a Traxxas TRX much cheaper & you can still say it’s build better or looks better but the FMS has more features including full light kit that is wireless let’s see what Traxxas would charge for a light kit like that. 🤨
This is great tbh, ur the only one who was true to this car and how no other crawler on the market doesn’t come near this when it comes to abilities.
Yeah, it’s a shame FMS treated me like crap and doesn’t want me to review their stuff anymore. I have sold more cars for them than anyone I took them from being the laughingstock of the hobby to showing what they really offer and gave them a ton of awesome ideas not only from marketing aspects, but also from developmental and design aspects of their products only to get treated like I am replaceable disposable and didn’t mean anything to them

Awesome. Can you plug in an engine soundbox somehow? Maybe with an adapter? Thanks
Yeah, I actually have one and Casey ‘s bronco that I could put in it for a video or two
@@WingnutsRC cool. that would be awesome. what do i need to plug in a sound box in the fms k5?
Great vid bro! Looks like FMS hit the nail on the head with this rig. Nice to finally see it with the top on. It actually looks like a blazer.
I agree I think it looks better with the top on
Why would they send him a truck. He had such a small following and there are a million other people they could sent them to that get 50x the views he gets.
I'll be looking forward to the big 3 challenge
Yeah, I’ll probably start shooting that next week. We have a few days here to finish moving stuff and then I’ll be back at the channel giving it my all.
Yeah I’ll watch for that video on gluing tires super cool 👍👍😎

Lol yeah I’ve been pushing them to make Fords
I'm a Ford guy too but do like the K5 and all the straight axle Chevys, and ya they definitely surpassed Traxxas with this one , good video 😊
Thank you
Yes, please. Lights.
👍🏻
Yeah I’m waiting on the black one, I am stoked to get one for sure. I’m watching Saturday 1:30 in the morning well I guess Sunday morning
Hey can you come back and tell me how the truck does crawling wise I’m really tempted to buy one but idk if I should
Same here couple days yet.
Nice review and run buddy! I have been thinking hard about getting one of these...

Definitely want one, love how lights are set up
If you choose to order, one, definitely go through the link on my page, my affiliate links, or what keeps my channel running
Awesome!! I wish it had a hard body shell with functional doors and interior to add a 6in to 7in figures for driver.😢
That would be sweet
Beautiful K5. I just hope they made enough and have good aftermarket support 👍🏾
I know there’s a lot in the warehouse is right now and they’re already making aftermarket bumper so I’m sure there’s a ton of aftermarket support coming
I’d like to see a video on that light trick you did.

Thank you
Subbed too , can’t wait to get my fcx10
Looks good, I'd love to see a 98ish Chevy 3500 dually from fms black on black with bed topper :)
That would be neat. I would love to see some old fords
I really like how you set the truck up. Definitely going to copy ya if i can ever order one.
Thank you I really appreciate that and I will check with them and see what’s up with the Canada issue
OK, so I just got done talking to FMS and I think I have a solution for all of my Canada viewers. They can’t send them to Canada because of shipping costs but I can set up a thing through my Facebook or my channel where if you guys want them I will order them and re-ship them to you.
@WingnutsRC Thanks! but fair rc has a Canada option available now! It just won't ship out for 2 months, possibly.
Hellyeah! RIP Major Rager.
🤘🏻👊🏻
Great review man!
Thank you
Looks cool, the electrical contacts make me nervous . The dig function I wouldn’t use, some people will . The proportions are off when it comes to side windows , roof etc. looks kind of funny , same on the new 1/18 truck. But that’s nitpicking , overall looks like a fun rig !
I was worried about the contacts as well, but I had it in water and didn’t have any issues

Another RUclips review was reviewing this rig and during the review the micro servos started to act up and were Not fully lock and unlock the diffs

I need to get a crawler.
This is a good one to pick up a lot of amazing features at a very good price
i am new to Rc crawelrs , would you sy this would be a good upgrade to my FX Canyon or do you suggest something else
These are decent for the price.But you're kind of limited on upgrades.I would definitely suggest an axial if you if you want to do a lot of modifications However, if you'd want your most Bang for the buck out of the box and still be able to do some mods, then the FCX is a great choice

@@OkieDokieBoican you come back and give your own opinion of the truck I’ve been looking for like 2 weeks can’t decide if I want the fms or the trx

Could someone educate me which rechargeable batteries are for the transmitter? 🙏 😅
JST, if you go with a smaller one it makes the radio way lighter over 4 AA
What battery you using
2s
Do you have any idea why the fcx10 can't be sent to Canada? The new fcx18 can be. I got an Atlas 4x4 Shipped here!. what's the difference with the fcx10? Is it that much heavier then the Atlas?
They should be available in Canada. I will double check but I’m sure it’s just something with the system catching up.
yeeeees finally :)
