I believe the HBX 16889A Pro will give this a run for its money. 2 speed transmission and clipless body aside that is. Just got my FCX18 LC80 recently and liking it, might check this out when it goes on sale and throw in a brushless combo and faster servo. Keep it up FMS!
Love the end part where everyone gets in and shares the fun! That's the joy of the hobby! I will prob snag one of these for my fam to have a little race at Xmas--classic Filipino holiday competition time!
Whats the best car to begin with for 150? I like the one you compared it to but missed where to see that. I want something ill be happy with and not have to upgrade. Like i said something thats new friendly
This is another excellent review. The truck looks great, fast and durable. I could not find it on the website and I don't think you mentioned it. Is it waterproof?
I bought this car and I regret it if you break a steering link good luck trying to fix it gotta wait two weeks for parts and it's so small and odd design with the two servo system this is definitely not a beginner rc car they would not know how to repair it
1st gear just lets you have more fun in smaller spaces. In the office 2nd gear is a spin fest. In 1st I can set up obstacles and jumps in the same space.
I may be mistaken, but wasn't this released under EazyRC a couple months back? I at least remember the licensed Colorado body being a big selling point.
Francis buddy, you're killing me. I need to get a third job just to buy all these toys. I've purchased 4 FMS cars and planes this year. BTW, call Horizon Hobby and Traxxas and let them know that the war is over and they lost.
Dang bro that thing lands nice. I mean those were some pretty big concrete landings and there like no after bounce. I also noticed when driving on the grass it soaks up the bumps good. That wheelie bar is holding it back in my opinion not letting it get up high enough but cool little truck. Great video thanx brother.
I think for $20 less I’d rather have a slightly larger 1/18th Arrma Grom. The 2 speed is useless in this scale and type of rig imo. The speed could’ve just been limited by the transmitter and then wouldn’t need another servo and a trans configuration that would lean towards more issues down the road. Armma comes with a hard case 1400mah battery too and supported by Horizon vs trying to communicate with FMS across the earth….
Your video is just a reaction on your truck. At least do a proper review. What battery can it take? Can you use a 3s battery? Waterproof? What kind of suspension? Plastic shocks or metal? Diff? Gears? Etc... As a buyer or cunsumer i would love to see or hear that from a RUclipsr who does a review of RC cars.

The frequency of FMS new releases lately is insane!
So true. Really upping the ante in rc. I think the other companies are responding and us consumers benefit.
I completely agree Francis.
Love this truck! I beat the daylights out of mine. Only minimal wear lol. Time to upgrade!
Rrrright? Great box stock and it seems like it can handle more powah!
@@RCReviewChannel I think so! It’s a blast as is but I couldn’t help but imagine brushless or 3s in it lol. Great review as always 🤘
Full trigger

It actually looks like a lot of fun...can put it in low/first gear and let the kids have a rip also
I didn't expect much but this one was all smiles.

This has moved to the top of my Christmas wish list and probably will be in my stocking to myself 😊
It's so good!
Thats a big motor for that size. Brushless gunna go crazy!
It's ready for a lil brushless. Can prolly gear up too since 2-speed.

Fms killing it with unique releases.
Im definitely a FMS fan im so for all these releases
$150? With the arrma grom being $129, that's going to be a tough sell.
Grom is a good deal, no doubt.
fms has been killing it
This one is a surprise for sure.
Thanks again love to watch ur channel n ur definitely 1 of the best out there..
£159.00 in the uk and for me that's a steep price compared to other offerings out there
I'm jealous of your shirt and shorts weather
Rrright? 65 degrees all month. We not getting the winter yet.
Arrma Granite Grom for myself !
Great option!!
Huge FMS fan. My budget can’t keep up lol. Not there there expensive but I want all they make and some models I want 2-3 of them.
Can't wait to get my hands on one! I Always wanted a 2speed basher!👍 Finally! What battery? 2s?
2s yeah. Included in the package.
Awesome 😎

What's really cool is my two helpers are first time rc'ers. So their reactions will be similar to most first-time buyers.
What was the other one whats the name of the competition model? thanks

So many mini monster trucks released recently.
Great mini monster for sure.
Are the tires glued?

Looks similar but different chassis for sure
@@RCReviewChannel Cool! Thanks for the great review!
I don't see any problem with low gear, you can run it indoors and young kids can run it safely.
True. Lots of cars though have a 50% mode. Perhaps this can be geared up more to take advantage of that first gear.

🔥🔥🔥 I see a 1/18 on FMS website as well but its not 2 speed
That was the old one. Not as good. I think they're around the same size since this one is pretty much 1/18.
@@RCReviewChannel niiice
I have the fcx24 blazer snd its bigger than my scx24 c10 but I love them both the same lol
Very cool! Thanks for the video.
Isn't the smasher supposed to be a scaled solid axle monster truck and the Colorado is a independent suspension...
Why the 2speed on a basher?
What is the song at the first part of this vid?
I can't stop commenting. Someone needs to build a loop with a ramp at the end.
I wanna buy that yellow mashigan
$150 is not “cheap” for brushed electronics and not gunna find parts just anywhere.
damn that lil nugget is fast!
Lil nugget is a great description. Good scale speed!!
Would like to trade the 2 speed gearbox for a faster servo for the same price.
Dang bro that thing lands nice. I mean those were some pretty big concrete landings and there like no after bounce. I also noticed when driving on the grass it soaks up the bumps good.

The suspension and drivetrain are true highlights.
The transmission is all metal gears too
Great to hear. It seems smooth and robust.
I JUST ordered one! I'm weak.... lol
You shall be assimilated. :)
I hope i cant take off the band aid orange bizarre chose of number stickers 😮😊
Nice!
Very
1st gear is for the kiddo's

Good analysis there. Arrma has upped the lil category for sure.
