    Awesome demo vidoe of the scramblers and brass wheels! Removing the springs is a great idea and it does shows more flex! Thanks for this video man!

    The 80 series body really does look good! The FCX platform is well thought out. I might have to trade in my Trx4m Bronco for this truck!

    That steering trick was done back when the fcx24 power wagon first came out. Same axles. Works very well.

      I’ve been doing the screw trick since the first power wagon, but never had shaved the diff cover before. The shock spring removal was a huge upgrade for this one

    I've ordered mine the day it's been released. Can't wait...😋
    It looks like bumpers are a big issue. Maybe it'd be better to take them off. What about adding more brass weights on the wheel level ?
    On mine, i'll design & 3D print an entire roll cage to protect the whole hard body and get an extreme off road look.

    I have the "original" FMS Toyota LC80 that i absolutely love but have wanted to upgrade. I know it sounds nuts but I almost want to buy a couple of these and see if I can keep my original LC80 body with interior but swap out the chasis components.
    Same with the Hilux, I love the body but would love to get an FCX 18 as a "donor".

    Are these about 60x24? Will they fit my setup if it's stock after I get wheels?

    • @CCxRC
      @CCxRC  7 месяцев назад +2

      If you get 1.0” wheels they should almost all fit it. There are tons of options. Most 1.0” tires will fit also, but anything over 62mm diameter may rub

    Just looking at the videos of this little cool car my first thought was ... those springs are way too strong for this car. I would probably still want to have some springs in there, but definitely weaker than the original ones.

    • @CCxRC
      @CCxRC  10 месяцев назад +1

      They are all said in the first 1:15 of the video. Removed shock springs, added brass wheels, added RC4wd tires, shaved the diff cover to get more steering throw, changed the screws on the axles from the front of the axle to the rear of the axle so the knuckles don’t hit them when turning.
