That is freaking awesome!!!🔥🔥Definitely a better option than starting with a ready to run and building it up. Pretty much everything is already there without to much needing to be done. Thanks for sharing Matt👍 Looking forward to seeing it built and running!
I agree with you. In my opinion if should not come with a motor and transmission unless it came with the esc. It would be like it using hubs that only one type of wheel would fit and they were the only ones selling the wheels and them being overpriced like their ESC is.
Another Ky guy here, I've looked everywhere trying to get a length on the front links. I'm building a pretty crazy cayman along the lines of your custom build.
Sweet! The first to offer longer rear linkage with this quality is getting my money ASAP. I've been waiting. I saw these links weeks ago in their first chassis promo images.
This ARTR is awesome, and I'd say the price seems fair for what you are getting. My only disappointment is they didn't make the rear extended. Hopefully they make a version with the extended rear or at least offer some extended aluminum links as an upgrade.
Same! Most everyone is extending them so kinda surprised they didn’t. Although my cheat code build with the scx24 transmission and fcx axles is basically the same wheelbase and it’s pretty wicked. I wouldn’t mind stretching it though honestly.
They sell at this point not only extended links but kits with those links at the same price. They also now sell CTARTR kits (Closer To Almost Ready To Run) with RX and RT. Three hundred and thirty something dollars.
This is awesome!! Cannot wait to see running vids! I been wanting to do custom LCG build’s but trying to get info of Facebook is a joke 95% of those groups are toxic & hella negative, there is a few good guy’s that help but most are pathetic. That’s why I’m so grateful for guys like you, texoma rc,cape crawlers & some other’s that put out content to learn from! Definitely getting one of these! Great vid!! Keep it up!!💪🏼👍🏼
Good value. Micro komodo motor, mount, and trans by itself is already $99. For another 100 bucks you get a complete chassis! I would swap out the trans and put the Hot Racing overdrive front transmission.
Just got mine today. It sounds like a stapler when I compress the suspension (complete with the resistance). If I compress just a corner some of them don't return (shocks like a burr grinder), the steering servo looks nothing like you're showing and is the smallest one I have ever seen in person (it's smaller than the HBX devastator). I knew they were using the cheapest axles they could get their hands ($13 if ordered before lately) when I ordered it. I see nothing special here with mine that would make it a deal at $230. ...edited... EDIT: Consider that above first impression. After spending the next couple of hours building it up (brass wheels, Patagonia tires, small Lizard Pro, tiny RadioLink 4 channel receiver and 7 channel radio) I'm blown away and I don't blow away easy. It's the drivetrain that impresses me, but the ballance and geometry had to have something to do with the climbing up and down on parts of my course that were just not meant to drive on. Inside the 29 days waiting for this to cut out and painted a Cliffhanger body (black with orange). It fits the wheelbase perfectly but the magnets are showing in the cab instead of being under the hood. It looks like I will have to find some nuts to fix that without relocating the shocks.
😃YES.... Thanks for making this happen!!! I truly believe if you didn't share your thoughts and ideas non of this would have come to fruition! The Companies VALUE your input as do all of US... 👍👍👍👍👍
I’d say it would be great. I think that esc is gonna be the new go to just for the stronger bec. I should have one coming very soon and I’ll be getting a vid up asap!
Hey man this thing is sick i have 3 24s now might have to get a 4th anyway. What kind of transmitter do you recommend using for the micro receiver thank you. love the vids!
I run this one with those small receivers. Great combination for the little trucks and has some awesome features for larger trucks as well. amzn.to/3SfJR8p
@@2fmrcwhat’s up bro love the channel. I’m relatively new to the hobby and your channel has helped me tremendously with educating me. I have a question. I bought this chassis kit. I want to run the FMS G3 mini controller with this set up but I’m having difficulty finding a ESC that will accept the Furitek motor. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I apologize if this seems like a dumb question.
@@SGTSLACKASS hey! With the FMS transmitter the receiver & esc are built in together so you actually have to get a seperate transmitter/receiver and something like the Furitek lizard esc to run the brushless motor. There’s no way to run just the transmitter/receiver on that setup without the esc and you have to have a brushless esc for the Furitek motor. Hope this helps!
I was thinking of ordering a metal Skidplate from Furitek and cutting out the Stock wannabee skid. Could you please check if the stock frame wideness would fit.
My experience with this chassis. Upgrade to metal diff gears and a metal drive shaft if your running 3s. You WILL strip the diff gears. The stock plastic drive shafts seperat under the torque load of 3s. Fix these issues and its a grand slam homerun.
In retrospect, would you rather drive this, or a rig built on a chassis such as the Athos?... let's say with all the same motor and electronics, only difference would be Super8 or Isokinetics vs the axles on this cayman. Which rig would you go with purely on performance?
Matt, how does that aluminum steering link impact the max angle? Does it get bound on the front diff cover? Interested to see how the angle compares to SCX24 straight axles.
@@erniegasbarino7658 yeah hopefully Dlux releases the stronger ones. I’ve broke too many of them to even compare atm lol. Haven’t broken a single fcx24 cvd yet!
Hey Matt, thanks, this looks truly awesome, I’m in! 👍 I do wonder if that Flysky micro receiver is compatible with the Flysky Noble NB4, any idea if it is please?
I like to build my own rigs but damn, for that price it seems pretty fair. And for guys that don’t want to build, that is looking like the best option, it’s got all the goodies! Did you get the lizard ultimate to try in that bad boy too? I saw it’s availabile for pre-order, gonna wait until it’s on this side of the pond, Furitek shipping is ridiculous, though it does come fast.
Time for me to be a pain again. I purchased a GT5 receiver and Crossover-RX receiver I’m able to get the steering but have no throttle? I know I’m a dumbass. Any help would be appreciated. Good video by the way.
I like the look of that. I am just trying to figure out when I buy one! LOL. Too many things I want to buy coming up. The TRX-4m and the FMS Monster Truck and this. Decisions decisions...LOL. Great video!
Yeah my account stays broke! I got in the habit of just buying everything released for the 1/24s early on because their wasn’t much. Now there is tons being released and I can’t stop buying it all 😆
It should but maybe not. I just got with them a few days ago because someone said my code wasn’t working. It’s supposed to be up and running now (or so they said). I’ll ask again. Sorry about that. Is it the Furitek US site or the original Furitek site?
I already have the furitek micro on my Scx24 bronco can you recommend a chassis I’m using a carbon fiber one from a 3rd party company that I’m not really impressed with currently
Yep she is not as into as myself but she has taken to Rcs because it's something we can do together. Pretty soon it's going to be just us my daughter getting old and soon she will be gone . Still don't like painting her scx24 pink lol but if that's what it takes to spend time with her itt okay.
Yeah this is really the best of both. My cheat code build with this same setup (Scx24 transmission,fcx axles) is probably the most capable rig I have. It’s insane!
I asked you one time if your wife was in to playing with Rcs you told me she is not is that still true?. If she is not maybe when your kids are out of the house living grown up lives she might. I hope so it would be cool for you.

Metal transmission gears and portal gears. The ring and pinion are just getting ready to release in metal from fms so they aren’t metal in these kits yet. Maybe in the future but I’m not sure.
That is freaking awesome!!!🔥🔥Definitely a better option than starting with a ready to run and building it up. Pretty much everything is already there without to much needing to be done. Thanks for sharing Matt👍 Looking forward to seeing it built and running!
That's nifty, I do sort of wish there was an option to opt out of the motor and transmission but it's also kind of cool that it's included.
I agree with you. In my opinion if should not come with a motor and transmission unless it came with the esc. It would be like it using hubs that only one type of wheel would fit and they were the only ones selling the wheels and them being overpriced like their ESC is.
Yea it should have definitely came with esc also
Great idea, I wish this would have came out a month ago before I spent three times as much building one from scratch!
Another Ky guy here, I've looked everywhere trying to get a length on the front links. I'm building a pretty crazy cayman along the lines of your custom build.
That is rad! I think it’s awesome that they offer a setup out the gate like that!
another great vid Matt. This thing looks awsome for us builders. I wish it was just a kit, u put it all together you're self.
Perfectly built, thanks for showing us this pre built-up rig. I know I'll be ordering one asap.
Sweet! The first to offer longer rear linkage with this quality is getting my money ASAP. I've been waiting. I saw these links weeks ago in their first chassis promo images.

That’s what I like to run on my custom builds. Gives some overdrive to the fcx axles. That is the perfect setup imo
That’s how I was gonna setup my new 1/24 FMS Monster truck.
It’s like everything I want and if it includes 2FMRC chassis. Then Hard YES!
Yeah my color way is supposed to come next! I gotta get one of those!
Yeah that’s what I am waiting on also, some of those steel ring and pinion, that’s a awesome chassis dang it
Rear wheel steer would be a good option 👌
That just may be part of the 2FM version “hint,hint”
Awesome build my friend 🤩👏
Can’t wait to see you run this setup!!
