Nice crawling spot ! And nice truck. FMS knows how to make new cars with old parts they designed a long time ago. The body is known, the chassis is known, and with a pinch of magic powder, here is a new model you have to buy. And it works cause we're all kids.😄 Not sure i'll buy one, since there are a Toyota FCX18 and a "low" Chevy K10 like yours in my RC garage. But if not, i'd surely get this lovely truck. For those who like making their own stuff, it'd be better to buy the low K10 and work on his base to get a scale model more capable.
After moving the screw to the rear, is there anything else we can do to get more steering angle out of the fcx axles like sanding down some areas or something?
When it comes to scale/performance, my preference is similar to you. I at least want it to look like a real vehicle, and it has to perform ok as well. I see other guys that go so scale and cant get over a pebble. I have 1 truck that was build 100% for performance and its almost too easy that its boring.
great video! im surprised you even took it out with that wheel and tire setup! changed them out before i even ran it lol. it is a great climber with the long wheelbase!
Yeah I’ve tried to start running them stock before I do any mods. Some people wanna see completely stock first. I knew they wouldn’t do much. Especially on that nasty wet day lol
The truck looks great except for the rear window. I don`t understand why FMS can`t seem to get the dimensions right on their Chevy cabs.(The K5 is even worse) The rear window should match the height of the other windows and the bottom should be just above the bed rail, you know, like a real Chevy truck.
Holding new born so watched muted - but glad I watched before ordering. Upsetting they couldn’t keep the bed intact with the shocks. I was on the fence about ordering but think I will pass as a result.
Hey love the new rigs from fms question I got over drive gears for fcx24 but my brass housing's won't accommodate the smaller gear my housing's are the brass ones that look like stock ones any suggestions plz thanks
@2fmrc on the Pak it says 20t and 5t the 20 fits no problem but 5t won't fit with my brass portal covers they are a no name ebay cover maybe need different portal covers and will this ratio give my truck overdrive 20t and 5t idk
i bought the scaler one when it came out and now they have this im so disapointed i like the scaler but i tried to make it a crawler and now i can just go this route? i hope it aint 300 like the scaler lol
i really like this one .....hmmm fcx18 might be a great next build ..... Awesome video man ...very informative and entertaining = you fkn nailed it !!........... ps- I already own an fcx24 an SG116 and 2x scx10ii based Rock Crawlers.... I am Digging the FCX24 Power Wagon it Rocks and the More i upgrade and modify it the Better it gets .... Love it :))))) Thank You so much for the wealth of info you share in all your videos ...I have learned heaps from you my friend so sincerely Big Thank You :)))) I subscribed to your channel before I even ordered my power wagon lol Learned what Mods to do 1st then Ordered it ...cheeky i know lol and here we are ...... Keep on Rockin the RC World brutha .... I will continue to support you and your channel
For me 1/10 is much more fun than 1/18. So the Traxxas would be the winner. Just because these true 1/18 trucks are too large for my indoor course and when I go out crawling no one in my area runs them. So the high trail will get more use.
I guess you get paid for the video. In that respect... you have to do the advertising. 🤷♂ I still have the old version of the Chevy K10 FMS FCX18 and am very happy with it. Mine doesn't look so finished after over a year! 🤪 Is this supposed to be the answer to the high trail versions from Traxxas? Of course, a car with more ground clearance can drive more easily off-road, but does that make the car look more realistic? 🤔 The new FCX 10 from FMS are not high trail either! This is probably just the answer to the TRX4m.
OK ... As much as I like the fcx18 lc80 a lot, this one leaves me completely indifferent. I prefer the Traxxas version, even without the 2 speed gearbox, the look is better and we always have many more upgrades available for Traxxas. Yes for the lc80. No for that, it's the same thing rebadged with the fcx18 chassis. FMS should sell a new kit with a new body and not a "reissue.... I'll pass, it's a failure this time And there’s still it’s fucking flashing!!!!
I built the old k10 version to what the FCX18 K10 is now. Lots of dremal work and I still have the interior. Now I want this one too!

Let’s gooooo. Yellow ordered.
Definitely a needed update to this platform.
Yes please. I like a lifted truck and this one checks all the boxes now even though it’s Chevrolet
I got the same truck coming today...can't wait...awesome video and 👋 from West Virginia
I was never interested in the original cheyenne but when I heard that this was coming, I was excited. The Lc80 is awesome and I feel this will be too
When you & Ken from the shop mini rc said its capable, im buying.
Beautiful rig, Here watching
I can't wait to see it get built to see what it's capable of
I just ordered me one I also have the other one thanks keep up the good work you do
Hopefully I saved the best for last. I've really been looking forward to getting this truck
Ordered one from Fair rc right away! Cant wait to put the Huml'sHobbies twist on it!! Great truck and great video as always Matt!
Heck yeah man! It’ll be sweet when you’re done with it I’m sure!
What size tires fit the stock rims I have been trying to order tires but have fitment issues
Yep, I want one!
Another unbiased, comprehensive review. Cheers Matt.
Love it! Much love from Michigan!
Spray bedliner in the bed and the shocks won't be as obvious
True!
After moving the screw to the rear, is there anything else we can do to get more steering angle out of the fcx axles like sanding down some areas or something?
Curious if and when they will come out with a fcx version of the 12th scale trucks
When it comes to scale/performance, my preference is similar to you. I at least want it to look like a real vehicle, and it has to perform ok as well. I see other guys that go so scale and cant get over a pebble. I have 1 truck that was build 100% for performance and its almost too easy that its boring.
i love my k10 but i am having trouble with the rear pinion screw coming out
great video! im surprised you even took it out with that wheel and tire setup! changed them out before i even ran it lol. it is a great climber with the long wheelbase!
Yeah I’ve tried to start running them stock before I do any mods. Some people wanna see completely stock first. I knew they wouldn’t do much. Especially on that nasty wet day lol
Is it longer than the fcx18 LC80?
I'd welcome a truck like that to my garage .
The truck looks great except for the rear window. I don`t understand why FMS can`t seem to get the dimensions right on their Chevy cabs.(The K5 is even worse) The rear window should match the height of the other windows and the bottom should be just above the bed rail, you know, like a real Chevy truck.
Do you think the roll bar from the k5 might work on this?
They almost pulled it off, except for the super weird back window, grill slots not blacked out , and then theres shocks sticking through the bed !!
Love it
Wanna see brushless in this truck.... furitek. ?
That's a nice looking truck I like the higher stance it has. Will the older k10 clear glass and interior fit in the new fcx18 k10?
I would think so but I haven’t tried it. That interior is actually pretty hard to find. I cut one up for my Trx4m and couldn’t replace it 😆
i wonder if i can take the scaler i have and put on the fcx18 axles and trans swap it cause i didnt like the scaler trans
Holding new born so watched muted - but glad I watched before ordering. Upsetting they couldn’t keep the bed intact with the shocks. I was on the fence about ordering but think I will pass as a result.
...regardless, they missed the mark not having the brown on this model for easy Fall Guy livery...especially with a movie about to land.
Congrats on the new born! Thats awesome!
Hey love the new rigs from fms question I got over drive gears for fcx24 but my brass housing's won't accommodate the smaller gear my housing's are the brass ones that look like stock ones any suggestions plz thanks
Hmmm I haven’t had that issue. What overdrive gears did you get?
@2fmrc on the Pak it says 20t and 5t the 20 fits no problem but 5t won't fit with my brass portal covers they are a no name ebay cover maybe need different portal covers and will this ratio give my truck overdrive 20t and 5t idk
Thanks for the video Matt. Can this body be mounted on the other one? (fcx18 lc80 new). Cheers
I’ll have to check that. I’d say it’s a bit long for a straight swap
i bought the scaler one when it came out and now they have this im so disapointed i like the scaler but i tried to make it a crawler and now i can just go this route? i hope it aint 300 like the scaler lol
Do you know of any metal drive shafts that will work for this

@@waybetteryouaustralia3934 I really appreciate that man. Means a lot 🙏
I really hope they make a suburban body for this chassis
Wow😮How many dollars is it?
Does it look high in person? It seems like it sits pretty high, the old k10 looks more scale. I know this one will perform better but im just saying
Yeah it’s definitely more like a high trail version. Sits much higher than the original. Way less scale but much better performance
@@2fmrc I still want the old one, never picked one up. Now I can’t find one. Will pick up an fcx18 but I still want the old k10 as well
Show us some new tires an wheels...now your opinion...what's better this truck or the traxxas high trail?
For me 1/10 is much more fun than 1/18. So the Traxxas would be the winner. Just because these true 1/18 trucks are too large for my indoor course and when I go out crawling no one in my area runs them. So the high trail will get more use.
Why has no one vome up with an "engine" to snap in that looks like an engine when the hood is opened?
Furitek.
Brushless motor. . ?
Love me a Chevy but I want to take the k10 body off and replace it with the Hilux.
That would be sweet!
I bet they will make a fcx version of the Hilux
I guess you get paid for the video. In that respect... you have to do the advertising. 🤷♂
I still have the old version of the Chevy K10 FMS FCX18 and am very happy with it. Mine doesn't look so finished after over a year! 🤪

Yes for the lc80.
No for that, it's the same thing rebadged with the fcx18 chassis.
FMS should sell a new kit with a new body and not a "reissue....
I'll pass, it's a failure this time
And there’s still it’s fucking flashing!!!!

Dear Manufacturers...PLEASE FOR God's sake, PLEASE stop putting turn signals and hazards! They are annoying and a distraction.
Haha! For sure! I think I’m going to cut mine out lol
@2fmrc I always cut mine, lol. I seriously hate them. I don't see why anyone would like them.
Nah, I love it!
Just remove them if you don't like them
