WIFEY IS JUST CASUALLY WORKING ON THE STAIRMASTER WHILE YOU GUYS VIBE. LOVE IT!
Family time lol
Looks over performance. And thats good. If it makes you smile to drive you've got a hit. Thats how i feel about my power wagon.
As a kid from the 70's, that had a Camel Trophy Range Rover poster on his bedroom wall in the 80's. These look fantastic, especially the Rover. That washout at 19:02 looks unbelievably fun to wheel. Great times with the kids too!
I really like the Range Rover and Discovery a lot. The defender 90 has that squashed stubby look like the fcx24 K5 blazer. I dont think it would be as noticeable if fms didn't completely nail the scale looks on the other 3! I plan to get one pre-ordered today, I have it narrowed down to 2. Great overall breakdown and comparison Adam!
Those are pure trail trucks like the real ones , really hoping they get over here
I hadn’t realized what the Cape stood for until that “wicked” slipped out. 👍🏻
The Frankenstein builds are about to be crazy with this and all the scx aftermarket parts
No doubt!
Badass lineup of new rigs, absolute banger of a value at $120!
I want the Range Rover so bad!!! Love these trucks! I honestly don’t even think I would modify it. So fun
Sure is a beautiful spot, I’m here watching 7:18 PM Wednesday, June 19. Yay.👍👍😎
This is an excellent review. You did a very thorough job. They look great and have a lot of great features. As you mentioned the scale appearance is outstanding. I think your copilot did a great job and demonstrated what r/c cars are for, having fun. I think I would buy one of then Defender versions for the larger tires.
Thank you!
@@CapeCrawlers You're welcome. After I watched your video I watched three others on the same crawlers. One out of three got better slightly crawling results. The only difference was he used a 900mah battery, which doesn't seem logical to me.
Thanks for Video. I bought a Defender 110 today and am looking forward to holding it in my hands
They look great if only they thought more about the prop shafts so you dint have that wedge at front of bottom skid
They look so awesome!
Encouraging seeing Axel in the videos!
Robust little trucks.
Nice. Awesome indoor crawler course 👍🏾🔥
I wish they were 18th scale for me but they're great for everyone whose had scx24s.
We have enough 18th scales
Time with your son , cannot be beat . Rc fun too 😊
Oh that run footage 😮😅..definitely more for scale trailing 😊
Really cool! I just ordered the Land Rover.
Uhh.. They are all from Land Rover...
Nice review I've got the range rover on the way to my home. I'm a big fan of drivers but looking around for1/24 scale seems hard to find. Do you have any ideas? 😹
That looks SO good! I need one of those asap!
Also the lgrp comp chassis and the lgrp brushless stuff has finally landed in germany wich means its gonna be at my place in like 2-3 days!! IM SO HYPED!!!!!!
Man I thought I was the only one who crawled in Germany 😂
@@isaiah9313Hell no! Thats way to awesome to nit do. It just sucks that i dont have any frineda to crawl with. But its still a bunch of fun
@@boiledtea479 What area are you around bro ?

More weight down low and bigger tires=👌
Hey Adam....good to see you. I'm still bummed about those CJ7 projects 🤷🏾♂️
Not throwing in the towel yet! Ripper V2 is in the works and I will be in touch for the grdloc livery. Even if it's just a one-off
With the counter rotating shafts, we wont be able to swap axles with scx24 n old portal style fcx24 axles will we?? Would love to pick 1 of these up and get some aftermarket scx24 axles for it but not sure if that would work
If there was a way to turn the dif spool the other way it could work but from what I've seen that's not possible the way fms made them. Take this with a grain of salt because I very well could be wrong 😂
@blaismerchant8582 been trying to brainstorm, thinking mues straight axle in the front n whatever portal axle in the rear. That would also give it some rear underdrive that could help. Another option i think would just be swapping out the trans for the older style without counter-rotation then proceeding. I think that mix match axles could be cool n different. Regardless im excited to see how people build these up n how they compete.
@cape crawlers..... oh no looks i may have to get one. Do you know when these are coming out? If i heard correct, the range rover did the best? are there parts available for upgrades? thanks from Houston Texas!
They ship first week of July I believe. They are all so close performance wise. I think the Range Rover or the Defender 110 are the best overall, but the margin is so small
@@CapeCrawlers i couldn't wait! i already bought the range rover 😄
The next question is, what about upgrades? the TRX4M was my first RC i got about 4 months ago and its fully upgraded. I was spoiled everything was out on amazon i wanted. Are there parts i can get from the fcx24? (correct me if i am wrong on the car number) or will i need to wait for the specifics? i can do 1" tires and any springs i want, correct? Also, all the shops in Houston i called do not sell any of their products. will this be an amazon only issue?
thanks!
Always a fan of tricky scale rigs. I like making an incapable vehicle, capable. (Sleeper crawler)
These look amazing scale/style wise but I’ve decided im a big fan of the 18th scale! If these were 1:18 I would order a Discovery right now
Can you advice any 1/18 pick up truck???
Fms nailed it again the look on these thing are amazing ❤🤍💙
Awesome, what‘s the top speed in second gear? More than walking speed or less?
Slightly more than walking speed I would say
I like these new Fms landies. Only thing i feel that hurts that Range Rover model is there is to much wheel well showing compared to size of the tire.
Are the transmission in fcxm the same size as the fcx24?
Smaller, but not by a large amount
Someone mentioned the frame rails are extremely similar to the scx24 rails, meaning the drivetrain could be transferred over. Idk if that's entirely true.
The rails do look VERY similar to the scx24. I haven't done a side by side of the rails only but they do look visually very similar.
Now.... It's time to upgrade it lol
You should compare camel trophy Range Rover to the fj cruiser
Nice Nice
does the Furitek fcx24 stinger brushless kit work with this product? I want to know because I am thinking about buying one and want to go brushless with the stock remote. Thanks!
Edit: you might think about getting a head mount for your camera to make things easier on yourself.
To my knowledge the stinger kit does not work, but I can't confirm that. I agree about the camera mount. Headmount or body mount is on the list
So would you say these are in the same scale as the TRX4M? 🤔
Watch 2fm rc video he does a really good comparison.
At 6:30 Adam shows the two together, Traxxas is bigger as it is 1:18 vs 1:24 for these.
They are great in some big ways, and crappy in some annoying ways.
For me, the most annoying is that if i want to use that very cool 2 speed transmission on another rig (i would buy two right now) then i gotta use their axles.
Or throw some X15 or Isokinetic or Super8 or a list of other great axles on it... thats a no go with that transmission. Lame.
Their axles are not a great design.
Sure, they work fine, but they basically tried to reinvent the wheel with those axles, and if you are going to do that then they better be great.. these are not.
I'll wait to buy the body, and wait for someone else to design a nice 2 speed.
Maybe it is just me but these trucks have a strong toy-like vibe to me. Somehow, the scale realism isn't as good as previous models. Perhaps it is the rather oversized wheels and tyres or maybe it is the chunky black plastic accessories?
Probably the chunky accessories. The Discovery has a toy vibe because of the painted axe and accessories I feel
They look cool but looks like they where on the struggle bus on the indoor corse they do look cool though 😎👍
Terrible struggle on the indoor course!
