    Fixed the Turn Signal issue. Take apart the Front / Rear Light Assembly and simply put a small piece of electrical tape over the particular LED that flashes "yellow". Press firmly to set the tape over the LED...also add a small dab of glue to set it all in place. Reassemble and you're set. Any function that flashes "yellow" is now black.

      They ruined this one I think by not making it an actual 1/12 scale, repurposing the Willys MB running gear, axles and wheels/tires and cheaping out on the interior. The 1/12 Willys MB, Kommadeurwagen Beetle, Kubelwagen, Jimny (the Jimny is super scale) are all exquisite with the unique details but this one gets re-used parts.

    Hallo Tomley I always love your videos and the people that complain about you test cheap Chinese cars. Maybe can open their eyes , you test all sorts cars and not everyone can afford 800 for one car . And I love that you test all sort of cars. Keep up your super good work.

    This is another great video and a beautiful scale truck. The detail is amazing. I am part of the Baby Boom generation. I remember receiving toy cars at Christmas with doors , hoods and trunk lids that opened. No one talked about scale back then. As you said, this not cheap stuff from China. It's a quality product. Thanks for sharing.

    I simply don't understand why the trolls keep whining about Phil testing "cheap Chinese crap". If I were in the market for a realistic 1:12 scale FJ45, I'd have a choice between the Team Associated CR-12, the WPL C44, the MN Models MN45 and this FMS. Of these, are are Chinese except the Team Associated, which has a lexan shell with distinctly dodgy proportions and is constantly listed as 'unavailable' anyway.
    So, dear trolls, the only options are budget offerings from China. Case closed - please stop wasting our time.
    Thank you.

    Hi Tomley, nice review as always!! just wanted to ask if the transmission of your fj45 makes a single "click" noise each time after the wheels move briefly when low gear is engaged? from my observation, it looks like before the "click" the transmission shaft does not go back far enough to the rear of the vehicle, and after the "click", the shaft pushes further towards the rear of the rear vehicle, at where it should be at normal operation. Does what I have just describe makes sense? lol!

    The suspension and ride height aren't the best, but I'd bet if you just got some different tires on it then it would perform a lot better. It seemed to be struggling even when the suspension wasn't in play and the ride height was irrelevant. Going up the seesaw, for instance. That was hard on the tires. Different tires might overcome the shortcomings of the suspension and ride height.

    It's fully licensed but not correct for any one year Toyota FJ45. It's got a mixture of details from different year, different decade trucks. If the headlight surround is squared, then it's like a 1979 and later FJ and it gets larger half clear/half amber turn signals in front, a different font on the grille, recessed door handles and should have the bulge on the windshield frame for the wiper motor. Biggest surprise is it's not 1/12 scale and re-uses the running gear from the Willys MB. Kind of a fail after the high marks of their Beetle, Kubelwagen, Willys MB and Suzuki Jimny models. Those have great details all around and are super scale.
