I have discovered HIDDEN features on this rig. The channel four button standard function turns on the hazards. But when you double press the button it allows the lights to flash. One setting is a slow flash one setting is a fast Flash and one setting turns the lights completely off. With channel 3 on, double press the channel 4 button and the lights will have different functions!
This is a great little RC vehicle...its small enough (along with the case it comes in) that I can take it with me when I go on business trips and vacations.
I just got an carrera f150 for my son as a bday present...but now Im in shock. I love this LC! Such a great model with so many details. Hmm maybe present for xmass ;-)
Really nice detailed looking 18th scale crawler, its in definite need of oil filled shocks watching the body roll over the place in the running footage, that's an easy fix tho.💯👍🏼 Great Video
Id love to maybe start playing with RC after building 1/24 - 1/25 scale model cars and trucks. Would this be slighty higher in price for a starter? After building model cars, putting them together, customizing them. All of the RC cars/trucks under 200$ look super bland with no windows, interior, basic door handles. Doesnt quite capture the look of "driving" a mini vehichle especially with capturing in video snd pictures. I guess that is why I 100% am leaning towards this RC Vehichle because of the details and functionality. Definately agree on upgrading the suspension right away
Great video as always! I know cost is probably the main reason but friction shocks are generally awful and I don't understand why so many rtr models still come with them!?
Bro Im from india , and I brought one from china after watching this video. I received it after 25 days. But this one doesn't have interior 😭 can I buy it seperately ? Please suggest. My model FMS LC 80 V2
Good video. Nice job taking it down to frame. Like to see it in a ford body or old power wagon. Cost is too high. Save that for a bigger machine. Enjoy my scx24 deadbolt.
I got one bolted on with some hardware extras I had. You’ll need extra pivot balls for the lower links and long screws for the bottoms as well. I need to order the pivot balls to try it.
@@rcdriver The shared shock/link mount really makes it difficult to fit any other brand shocks to these! Curious to see your final setup on the OME. I have some and they are too stiff for SCX24 body weight, but may be just right for this. I have used oil and grease in the HobbyPlus Alum shocks for this. Both were massive improvements, but after a run or two they need re-doing (no seals).
@@bcochener I just found a crazy detailed review of shock options from youtuber donaldsneffe. I have a set of the Carismas that I might try to use like he set up.
Both! I have both, this one, there is not really any bolt-on aftermarket for it. You have to get creative to mod it. Where-as the SCX24, the market is massive. Both are incredibly fun.
Video is nice. 1 week after buying this, servo has gone bad, indicator lights dont work. The head and tail light settings have switched automatically. So i switched the connection on esc to correct it. After 10 days use the plastic spur inside the gearbox has worn out. Definitely not worth it. But since i already bought it could you advise if similar metal spur can be purchased somewhere
They may have left it that bouncy on purpose, the 80 series itself is a very bouncy can and you can practically use it as a trampoline if you really want to
Have you given any thought or plan on making the roof rack lights functional. If so could you please do a walkthrough video. I've owned this for about a month and have been trying to figure out how to do it.
I ran some leds to mine and made a box to store a small lipo in, hooked up on and off switch to it, and strapped the box the the rack. Makes it kinda top heavy though.
Hey I’m looking at buying one of these some people have made the spotlights on the top work if you have any idea how to do that could you pls explain ?
I need assistance I haven’t used my rig in a while (Toyota) controller and truck turn on but it seems like it either won’t connect or there is another issue it’ll connect and turn the wheels but won’t drive new/charged batts
Thanks. I was once an R/C champion when I was 11 with a non-stock, semi-modified off-roader- I miss those days. :-) Do you think FMS is on par with the veterans like Tamiya and Kyosho? Stay safe. God bless, Revelation 21:4
Hello, I am trying to get in micro crawlers but I cannot decide between two trucks right now and I need help. It’s down between this KMS/Katana 1/18 Landcruiser or the new Axial SCX24 Gladiator. I really love Toyotas being a real Toyota owner myself but the Axial SCX24 platform has so many pros to it. I know overall the SCX has a way bigger aftermarket than this landcruiser but can someone please answer my question. For This KMS/Rochhobby Landcrusier can you upgrade the steering knuckles to brass ones for added weight? Are there brass diff covers for this landcrusier like there is for SCX24? Honestly those are the two biggest I upgrades I wanted to do immediately to the SCX24 if I got one, but I really cannot find any info if the KMS/ Rochobby has these same aftermarket components.
This doesn't have many upgrades available from what I've found, but there isn't much needed to be upgraded on it, as it comes with full ball bearings, metal gears, and metal axle shafts.
Anyone have any issues with the transmission gears on this? They are plastic and two days into to owning mine two gears stripped the teeth. The only replacements I've found are straight from FMS.
Can anyone help me on how to plug the under hood wiring on one of these back up? I took the body off and didn't pay attention to how the wires were plugged (dumb, I know).
I received mine a couple days ago. It's terrible for the price. Cheaply built, instructions are half-ass, battery does not fit in the compartment very well. It's worth maybe $30 at Target. Not hobby quality.
fms dosent listen the shocks are horrible many complain on these videos ..they dont care .ar least fms sells upgraded versions for more money i wish other companies would do this sell them upgraded ready to go .but fms your shocks suck not realistic makes it look like cheap toy ..thanks for the video
I bought two, 1 for myself and 1 for my son… Do not buy this rc it broke on the first day, yes you can get parts but it will continue to break in many different ways…my son is extremely disappointed.. do not waste your money!!!
I bought one for my son last Christmas he got about two days use out of it then nothing I have left it in for repair with no luck this truck is a piece of junk I will never buy Rodhobby again.

how long is the run time
@@jackgibson8627 I get a solid hour of crawling with the battery provided
I carnt get mine to turn on
does urs have the two white chords
This is a great little RC vehicle...its small enough (along with the case it comes in) that I can take it with me when I go on business trips and vacations.
Yes, FMS builds really awesome mini crawlers!
Did you ever find an oil filled shock option? Part numbers and brand please if you did. Super cool video.
I just got an carrera f150 for my son as a bday present...but now Im in shock. I love this LC! Such a great model with so many details. Hmm maybe present for xmass ;-)
I find that if you just take the old shock top off and put some lithium grease in it it responds as if they are gas filled/oil filled
I wanna see some upgrades on this bad boy!!!
Quick question, did you solve the aftermarket shocks? It kills the perfection of it.
Second off, how long does the battery last?
Great review, thank you very much. In your experience, how much did the battery last?
Just bought 1 today! Really caught my eye.. And last piece in the store as well
Really nice detailed looking 18th scale crawler, its in definite need of oil filled shocks watching the body roll over the place in the running footage, that's an easy fix tho.💯👍🏼 Great Video
I’m sold. I’m grabbing this one. I have the SCX24 and love it. I’ll just have this one for a trail truck
🎉this lil thing compact wit a punch ..... Definitely getting one ...asap
Nice little rig.. I think I might buy one.
Thanks a lot for the review Man..
You've sold me on these. They give axial a run for their money. Just need as many accessories!
This thing looks exceptionally scale in the way it crawls.
That's a sharp rig. Shock upgrade video on Friday?
Nice rc truck! Proportional aceleration and steering? Upgradable parts? Greetimgs.
Did you ever get shocks to fit?
Just saw your video, great rig, I agree, have you put those RC4WD shocks on yet?👍
Any updates for after-market, oil filled shocks for this truck? If so, could you post a link? Thx
Really nice small crawler 👌😀1/18 is cool for fun indor

It probably does keep cost down. I like Tamiya’s take on the friction shock with the rubber tub inside that at least offers some return resistance.
@@rcdriverThanks for the great video. Can your recommend a particular set if shocks that fits in? I would love to have a better suspension.
Mantap sekali mobil ya master,sukses selalu
excellent cars really are incredible these lamborghinis excellent video
Is there a way to take the body off, my back seats came off so just trying to clip them back on lol
Hello did you ever put on the oil shocks on the Land Cruiser? How did it perform ? Thanks 🙏
Bro Im from india , and I brought one from china after watching this video. I received it after 25 days. But this one doesn't have interior 😭 can I buy it seperately ? Please suggest.
My model FMS LC 80 V2
flash sale on horizon $70 off I just bought one couldn't pass up that killer deal
Link to those old man emu shocks? Cant find a 4 pack anywhere. They the 70mm ones?
Good looking rig . I just ordered one
Awesome rig. I did buy it from amazon. Called Eazyrc Patriot. Not licensed but same thing. With some graphics on the sides. But same rig.
Not waterproof. A few minor differences, and electronics.
I was thinking of putting the tires of the katana Lc80 on my scx24 gonna be dope!!!
Kereen om..mirip banget..😃👍
Good video. Nice job taking it down to frame. Like to see it in a ford body or old power wagon. Cost is too high. Save that for a bigger machine. Enjoy my scx24 deadbolt.
Have you had a chance since making the video to try the RC4WD OME shocks? Would love to know if they worked.

@@pedaltime1 Oh yeah, his channel is great! So much good in depth comparisons. That’s where I found out about the ESC I put in my Katana.
I need to buy it
the car is waterproof?
that looks identical to the real life car i was going to buy. 80 series
Let's crawl!
Went to 3 parks with this one! 🤩
I’ve dumped like 100 dollars into my SCX24 should I keep working on it or get this?
Both! I have both, this one, there is not really any bolt-on aftermarket for it. You have to get creative to mod it. Where-as the SCX24, the market is massive. Both are incredibly fun.
that is another differance my blinkers only com on when you go to turn and then the shut off when going straight
Are there any other steel driveshafts that will work with the Land Cruiser other than the ones from AliExpress?
Video is nice. 1 week after buying this, servo has gone bad, indicator lights dont work. The head and tail light settings have switched automatically. So i switched the connection on esc to correct it. After 10 days use the plastic spur inside the gearbox has worn out. Definitely not worth it.

The ESC is totaly differant along with the transmitter
Buy link please
Where to buy it?
Whats it's top speed?
Is it water proof
I want to buy so much for mine but am afraid nothing will fit!!
Where you able to fit those shocks?
They may have left it that bouncy on purpose, the 80 series itself is a very bouncy can and you can practically use it as a trampoline if you really want to
My rear lights do not stay on. They only turn on when i reverse. Kindly assist

PM me and I can talk you through what I did
Im sure you can use panda hobbys shocks as an oil filled option
Tried, they’re too long and the body is too big.
Mike howl has to see this
Hey I’m looking at buying one of these some people have made the spotlights on the top work if you have any idea how to do that could you pls explain ?
Will 35s fit on stock suspension
I am going to buy one! Do you know what wheel weights fit this one?
Sorry I don’t yet. I’m just getting into this brand myself.
Price
I need assistance I haven’t used my rig in a while (Toyota) controller and truck turn on but it seems like it either won’t connect or there is another issue it’ll connect and turn the wheels but won’t drive new/charged batts
I bought separate parts but they do not fitI bought front and rear 4 link suspension and the sizes and atatchments are differant!!
What’s the full speed
Thanks. I was once an R/C champion when I was 11 with a non-stock, semi-modified off-roader- I miss those days. :-)

what website did he buy it off?
The front drive shafts are very bad I would recommend replacing them with metal ones
Can you pop out the window so you can stick a GI joe in it?
Cool
Where do u buy it
Link in the video description
nice than mn product or wpl
Will it keep up with walking pace?
No, just a little slower than a walking pace.
@@rcdriver thanks!
I am from Pakistan and tell me price of Toyota hilux

Just a question. Is it fast on smooth terrain? If so how fast do you think it is?
I have one, and it goes about 5mph
Hi i was just watching how much dollars is this
I'd rather not be able to turn off the signals than not be able to turn them on at all when there are none
I bought this recently. It’s my first RC car. I really like it. Does anyone know how I can wire the roof rack lights, or maybe a new light bar?
I want to know the same thing 😅
The center wher all the links atattch are differant the trany is not the same eitcher and the drive shafts are differant lengthes.
Why did horizon sell this under the fms name? Fms makes RC airplanes
Great question! I will see if I can get an answer.
@@rcdriver Thanks.
The radio is better than my race vehicle's :(
Pretty cool for an RTR radio right! 😎
the radio is all diff and cheaper looking than the one with mine
Hey why don't you open an kindda account
Too bad the doors don’t open like the FMS FJ40 and FJ45
Mine is so muddy
❤❤❤
I carnt get mine ln
I broke the diff on my one
Man, I never thought my SCX24 Jeep would be parked in favor of another mini crawler.
Aww. Remember to be nice and let them both have a turn. 😂🤣
@@rcdriver I am thinking I am going to have one radio in each hand. 😂
@@ozgt99 Problem solved!
Trying to decide between this and the SCX24.. 3 months after your comment, which would you choose if you could only have one?
Looks very scale
It's kinda pricey , but look very cool 🔥.The Wpl C54 is a great alternative for the great looking hardbody of the LC80.
Has anyone ran a battery with more MAH? is that dangerous?
I received mine a couple days ago. It's terrible for the price. Cheaply built, instructions are half-ass, battery does not fit in the compartment very well. It's worth maybe $30 at Target. Not hobby quality.
Exactly what i thought. Many people just give the money away so much stuff is overpriced in this hobby and people just justify it
