the badges on the back do curl/wrap a bit around the body bend. There are lots of reference images online that show exactly that. I really wish they had come up with a leaf sprung suspension though.
The metal 4wd and Toyota badges are the correct size. I drive a real fj40 and the real badges are curved so they wrap around the quarter panel. Cheers! Great vid btw
You often sound like a kid when you're driving the RC's with the yeahs, the nice, and all and i just want to say i absolutely love it man! makes me feel like I did when i was a kid out playing with my rc cars and trucks!!...😊..👍🏻..❤..😁..🤷🏻♂️
I bought my Toy FJ40 in 1973 new for $3400 new. Buffed it up with goodies from ORW and proceeded to drive all through the Baja ( Norte and Sur ) our local mountains ( Southern Calif ) and 4 years later sold it to a real estate developer for $ 3 grand even. My 2nd favorite vehicle # 1 was my 59 MGA....Aloha
If I'm allowed to sound wanky for a moment, there probably hasn't beena better time to be an RC addict. So many companies putting out good product. This truck looks really good, and looks like it goes well. I am starting to feel like a broken record tbh.
Great Scale/Trail truck. I own their 1/6 Suzuki Jimny, and after raising the suspension - adding bigger wheels and (in the process of) painting and adding a patina to the body - I have a great trail rig. I have swapped the esc to a 1080, and you are right, it makes all the difference. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Hey Phil, for those wanting leaf springs, apparently the 1/10 Atlas front & rear leaf spring upgrade kits from FMS are a direct fit onto this also. #winning
There is a guy that makes License plates here in the USA, you can have them made for whatever state you want so maybe even the UK? not sure. But the USA plates are awesome, and you can get plastic or metal!
Pretty nice rig indeed, your channel is the best youtube channel on the Interweb!!! Keep posting them up so I can relive my childhood from "across the pond"
I'm a new viewer. This is the 1st video I've seen of a pre made, pre painted RC model. I'm so glad because I can't do anything except maybe put on the wheels
A bunch of Aussies recently drove an electric converted full-size FJ40 across Darwin Harbour. - 30 metres underwater. 8 kilometre crossing. Took them about 12 hours. They were asked if they were worried about crocodiles. "Nah mate, the sharks have eaten all rhe crocs." There are videos of their little adventure on this here UA-cam. It's worth a watch.
Wow RC is finally doing what I have always dreamed of. Realistic interior realistic exterior with fully opening panels. Even the driving motion is realistic with soft suspension with body roll. If the tires were a bit softer it will be perfect.
Awesome video and absolutely sweeeet rig Phil! So, I did the conversions of all the measurements and rounded them off slightly. The wheelbase is 1/6.74 scale, the length is 1/6.78 scale, and the width is 1/6.22 scale. I get the whole "10th scale" as a roundabout size for rigs, but it's way too big to run it with a lot of 1/10 scale rigs in comparison to them. My RedCat Gen8 is also marketed as a 1/10 scale but it's actually 1/7.84 scale, and it's enormous next to many 1/10 scale rigs so I can't even imagine how this would look next to a true 1/10 scale rig. The moral of the story is that I want one so badly! 😂😂😂😂😂
That’s been me saying if they get into 1:10 scale the other major players best take notice they already own the small scale world. Right when I saw it & how it performs for the price I knew I’m getting one it was that quick. This is a nicely ace scale RC from what I’ve seen the shocks need to be replaced but it ran nicely & looked great doing it. Definitely have to get some passengers for it. 4:20
Nice one. So are we going to get to see a follow up? I wanna see heavy weighted wheels, upgraded tyres. Better esc. Surely this thing will have on some decent crawler stuff as well…?
Is a beautiful rolling, scale model trail truck, as you said. The way it rolled from side-t-side was very realistic and it looked an explorers rig going across the plains of some unexplored country. With all the detail I can't believe there is no battery strap or bar. This is an excellent review.
I put a 1080 esc and winch + other accessories on mine and I’m always amazed how scale it looks driving around. The 1080 makes a huge difference in drivability too.
RC4WD already done a FJ40 series in 1/10 but it's good to have a new one so hopefully it will become more common in Australia as our crawler meets are majority Toyota's rather than jeeps... I hate the fact it's LHD tho but if a let down 👎 but not all bad it's got a Queensland plate tho haha the state I'm from
So much attention to the details of the body, even putting in a servo so the steering wheel turns, but they still do the chassis mounted steering servo instead of axel mount. and everything under it is plastic. I think its price is good, much lower than i was expecting, but id pay a little more for improvements that are going to make it operate better, rather than just look better.
FMS does the scale looks really well. A friend in high school a long time ago had an FJ40 and I remember it seemed to bounce a lot... might have needed new shocks.
That is a lovely little truck. Would love to see it next to a WPL D12, which is supposedly pretty good 1/10th? That bit of track at the quarry you like is like a mini-green lane!! What would make that little truck even nicer is a quiet motor/esc? Would a brushless one silence the whiny sound?
It's really nice think its more trail truck,think it would look great slightly weathereded,but ive been asking for a 6th scale defender and or hilux 🤤🤤 ,
Rc4wd has had the Gelende 2 Land Cruiser since like 2015… idk how I feel about this fms I do love Land Cruisers but this model seems very cheap from the pictures and it’s definitely 7th scale like the Mashagin
FMS are really starting to gain traction, and go places. 🎉 No, really. I like it, but I am a bit of a Toyota fan. I like this, especially given its 1/10. Very nice review and footage.
Well I was gonna wait for the v3 lc80 fcx18 to drop, but the wife gave me the ok on this bad boy. It looks incredible. I'm glad they are branching out into the larger scales, although I wish they would just call these 1/7-1/6 it's got almost an inch and a half more wheelbase then my axial scx10 II. I just gotta figure out ...yellow... Or blue.
Today at the FMS festival they revealed the new models 1:10 scale crawlers that look just like the mini Blazer with all the features of a TRX 4 plus more with new never before seen light mounts. There’s a new king in the RTR 1:10 scale crawler world. I spoke to the owner & they will be available in November I did get pictures of them & the chassis it’s the most well thought out 1:10scale RTR I’ve ever seen. They didn’t want to let go of the price yet but he did manage to give me a few clues.
A Bit Late to the Party but im gonna ask anyway. I‘m curently looking for my First 1:10 Crawler and i got This aswell as the Element RC Enduro Trailrunner on my watchlist. Wich one would you Guy‘s recommend? Because i would Like to do some light crawling in addition to Trailing. The Enduro is about 50€ cheaper then the FMS here in Germany
Very cool looking truck. Looking at the price I see FMS is starting to think they are more, than they are... Prices are definitely rising as these rigs become more popular.. IMO
So cool looking car - well, I ordered one, lol. Nice review, helped me with my decision. 👍😊 Like your editing as well. Always some funny things to discover, like the he short reverse part. 👍
Looks like someone gave some fertilizers to the WPL model! Looks amazing indeed, Phil! 😃 The best part is that you probably could fit the whole FPV gear inside! Walksnail for sure, but perhaps even the DJI O3 system! 😃 Imagine driving it in FPV, seeing the steering wheel turning! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

FMS is killing it in the scale game lately. Loving this FJ40. I would LOVE to see them do the 80-Series Land Cruiser in 1/10.
Yeah mate! They do that and I'll be one of their first customers 🤙
I'm surprised someone hasn't re created topgear boliva special with these things
I want to see a 60 like my real one!
You often sound like a kid when you're driving the RC's with the yeahs, the nice, and all and i just want to say i absolutely love it man! makes me feel like I did when i was a kid out playing with my rc cars and trucks!!...😊..👍🏻..❤..😁..🤷🏻♂️
Get out there with a modern RC. They are incredible! You'll be smiling like a ten year old at Xmas
4:11 holy crap that's some scale detail there, operating door handles? and padded bench seats? damn...fms is upping their game.....
I really hope FMS blow up ! They put out some of the best budget models
How are they gonna make cool rc trucks if they blow up 😢
You've really been upping your cinematic game these days. I love all the camera work and angles in this video.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it 😎🤘

Yes, certainly a good time for RC recently
Definitely
Explain that to my bank account.. 😂
Action figures are going through a golden age as well
It’s the worst because of how many there are. I can’t buy them all!
My my. I might have found a Christmas present for myself. I love how it wobbles around.
It’ll look good with a Christmas tree strapped down on it 😅
I can see it. Cheers, Tomley.

I need to see this!
I got a few of those jimnys... cant beat it for 150 shipped!
RC4WD, Gelandë Fj40 hardbody, possibly leafs too I forget though.
Omg that is a beauty, despite the small oversights, FMS nails it again
Pretty cool, would like to see open diff/lockable option on it though.

The fj40 babges do have a slight bend in them and go around that corner slightly.

If this body fits on the 1/10 RC4WD FJ40 chassis I'll be amazed. RC4WD need a kick up they ass to get moving with new and improved models / bodies.
I think some slightly stiffer damping would do it a lot of justice. Not much stiffer, just enough to slow the body roll slightly
Yeah, thicker oil I guess
@@TomleyRC yeah thicker oil
FMS always make great scale looking vehicles.
One day.
Agree
Tomley your humbleness and attention to detail about the rcs you show are amazing. Thank you for giving us great content to watch 🙂
Nice review, looks great on the trail, think RC4WD do an FJ40 but I expect its like £600- £1000
That LC is AWESOME!!! -Ken
The FJ looks great. It would look great with a patina finish.
RC4WD has had a 1/10 Gelande “Cruiser” (FJ40) on the market for years. Hardbody, highly detailed, complete interior. You can get it as a kit, or RTR.
with slow mo the the suspension play looks so realistic, awesome !
One of the most realistic bodies I’ve ever seen on a RC
Nice one. So are we going to get to see a follow up? I wanna see heavy weighted wheels, upgraded tyres. Better esc. Surely this thing will have on some decent crawler stuff as well…?

Love it!! Even the door handles work, it looks great, and the driver was " totally. switched on, baby yeah!! " another great video‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘
I always love the body roll on these big RC trucks. I had a FTC Kanyon, loved the body roll on that. Great video as always Tomley!
Yeah, it’s actually pretty good if you drive it ‘scale’…. If you just go flat out everywhere it just looks wrong
Absolutely!@@TomleyRC
P.S. Great camera views under the chassis, very nice touch. 🤘@@TomleyRC
Loved the under shots or chassis shots! Great model for sure!
Cheers dude

It’s certainly not perfect, but I’d say for the price… yes, it’s decent 👌
RC$WD did do an FJ40 on the Gelande 2 chassis. Don’t know if they still do it
So awesome I want 1.that will be my first 1/10 scale.i have fms 1/18 and wpl's aswell.glad to see you got 1 first. Looks very realistic. I love it
All it needs, is a scale antenna at the front :) Looks super AMAZING!
FMS does the scale looks really well. A friend in high school a long time ago had an FJ40 and I remember it seemed to bounce a lot... might have needed new shocks.
Good review . The super scale stuff is getting better all the time .

Gorgeous trail truck! I want one!
Any Trail truck that doesn't have the whiny sound is pretty cool I hate it when you hear the server Aulani that's a nice little truck though
Wow that’s an awesome FMS FJ40 great looking truck I wish fms would send me some rc trucks 😊
Looks fantastic and yeah think the yellow one will be the better looking one! Top review buddy!
Like the whobbly suspension, finally, someone did it....
The Python X and Perentie would probably be a great combo in this Rig. It looks like it would benefit from a true slow crawl.
Yes probably
That was bloody good fun to watch lol, bet you had a great time filming this.
its bugs me so much when companys cant be bothered to give the proper scale thats clearly bigger then 1/10th scale
It's really nice think its more trail truck,think it would look great slightly weathereded,but ive been asking for a 6th scale defender and or hilux 🤤🤤 ,
1/6 Hilux… yes please

Yeah, let's see what they give us in the next 12 months!
It is not real 1/10.... It is more like 1/7
I like that it's "empty". You can equip and stuff it with all you like😁
Every RC UA-camrs using the same music samples lately. I like it haha
Love it! Just ordered one in blue and found an Austin Powers along with a Fembot 9” action figure for it…. 🤩
You strongly favor Ralphie from the Christmas story movie !
Oh Fudge
@@TomleyRC that’s great! Appreciate the awesome rc content
Nice one tomley good shots ! Shout out from Australia
really bad ass little rig, might have to pick up one of these myself
That’s really nice but, I wouldn’t want to take it out in case it got damaged! Shelf queen. Cool video
The badge size is correct. I had an FJ40 and those badges bend around a bit

Great rig, beautiful. Great video too, so relaxing
Thanks dude
Hi mate, enjoy watching your videos. Have you thought about doing a video on the 4wdrc trail finder 3
Fms are getting better and better more scale and better traction
I agree 👌
Superb review...this kind of video you hope the manufacturer will watch and take notes...
Love the slow-mo stuff, just needs some authentic-ish engine sounds to accompany it 😉
Wow! A Queensland number plate??? The colour's even correct!!
Wow that's epic. I am going to get one and trade chassis' with my jimny.
Oh yeah, groovy baby ooh, shake it, yeah.
Great effort, fair play... and that packaging. Wow 👌
What a nice Jobby you've produced!
You've done another good review Bravo Zulu
😇
So cool looking car - well, I ordered one, lol.
Nice review, helped me with my decision. 👍😊
Like your editing as well. Always some funny things to discover, like the he short reverse part. 👍
Queenslander plates are a noice choice, too bad it's LHD...
Love your content man!! You are literally the reason I own half of the rc cars I do lol!!
Haha, sorry 😅
Not a 'Yota fan but it looks great. 10th scale is the sweet spot - I'm just not interested in smaller RC's.
One of my buddies has a real functional one, great thing up close
alex kowaliuk here from america ,,, mr powers is always a nice touch.
Wow! 🤩 This is so cool.. i‘m usually totally not interested in rock crawlers, but this one looks amazing!
Tomely the metal plate badge come a little bit bend. And that's a realistic badge 👌 😊
That thing looks 1/6 scale. It's huge!!
A really good looking FJ, seems to drive well
Great model from FMS
New electronics and better tyres and you've gotta winner.
pretty awesome.. I don't buy FMS.. but that ones pretty sweet..
nice rig - if that is 1/10 scale then it is 1/10 scale of some other vehicle, that thing is huge, its 1/8 at best, that vehicle is kind of compact irl
Yeah, 1/8 or even bigger
Looks like someone gave some fertilizers to the WPL model! Looks amazing indeed, Phil! 😃
The best part is that you probably could fit the whole FPV gear inside! Walksnail for sure, but perhaps even the DJI O3 system! 😃
Imagine driving it in FPV, seeing the steering wheel turning!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great video of a cool old school Toyota Phil, added to my wish list 😂!
Cheers dude
I would buy the orange one, and turn it into Richard Hammonds Landcruiser in the Bolivia Special. It would be a one to one for Hammond himself.
It's gonna be a front flipper! Wheel base to short, should have done the FJ45 chassis 😏
