    Hang on because today at a free FMS festival where I live they unveiled new 1:10 scale crawlers that look just like the 1:24 scale Chevy Blazer one orange & white & one black with removable top & rollbar with lights. The chassis is a TRX killer with all the features plus more it’s just beautifully put together I spoke with the owner & they are going to be available in November. You have got to see them all other companies are going to be blown away because there’s a new 1:10 scale king of the crawlers now.

    I just received mine and would like to send out notice that as of my purchase date of 10/24 it comes with clear windows and a nice full-length interior already installed. I got in on sale for $149 and free shipping Hong Kong to Japan. I have some Inora upgrades coming so looking forward to a lot of fun crawling,

    Yeah I just ordered only two days ago the gray one, love the details and lights. Some people don’t like turn signals I love it. I’m here watching 7:56 PM Monday

      Some people don’t like the turn signals? When I first saw the lights working on the FCX18, I thought they were awesome. I’ve never seen turn signals on an RC vehicle before. The hazards are really good, too. I normally turn them on when crawling mine at night, so I can see where the back end is

      @@falcondragonslayer There’s a great hack going around, where you unplug the FUTABA connector to the tail light, and take the middle pin out of the connector and move it to the outside empty slot. You now have full-on taillights …..and if braking is enabled, they get brighter with braking. You only lose the ridiculous back up light. I did it, took 1 minute to do, and it works!

    In the brief time I’ve had mine I’ve snapped a drive shaft (replaced with injora) and now ,as of this comment, I’m working on trying to keep the little screw that holds the drive gear in the rear axle down with enough force to apply torque. It continues to come unscrewed (pray for my loc-tite).
    Absolutely beautiful when she runs, and a performance that will impress, but buyer be prepared for it to fight you a little 😅

    Cutting the springs will cause torque twist. Right out of the box. Adding brass wheel weights inside the tire/rim is all you need.

    QUESTION. I have the same rims. Did you have to put washers under the lock nut to be able to bolt them. The tolerance seems to small for ANY 5.5mm hex tool. .pls help

      I would recommend the actual injora website, I have a scx24 blazer and got high clearance links off Amazon for it but they didn’t fit lol

    I am new to RC. Wanting to get a tinker setup. Torn between this LC80 and the Traxxas TRX-4m f150. Any preference or recommend?

      After websearch I guess that those pin tires are 55x20 on 1.0 plus wheels with -3,75mm offset.

    You can turn the rear tyre mount upside down for more clearance and take the foam insert out to make it squish instead of getting hung up and I highly recommend the McCue high clearance rear bar

    My rear gear broke so the back to wheels no longer turn. Luckily it's new so I'm just going to get a replacement and will upgrade to injora metal gears front and rear.
