I have to thank you for showing me the funniest thing I've seen all day. I went to t checkout price tag of this truck and I couldn't help but see if this video annoys me or do I. So I clicked on the link and saw the crybabies and I haven't stopped laughing Spence thank you PhillI needed to smile. For 250 bucks you can't go wrong with this little truck looks like a nice rig I dig the orange too.
@@shaynejenkins446 that is true. However I'm not expecting it for him like a vanquished Phoenix ready to run. For 250 bucks there has to be some realistic expectations and not a bunch of hopes and dreams. And what the truck looks like it's trimmed out at it looks like you do get what you pay for which looks to be a pretty good bargain
Just bought one of each. The carrying case is just mind blowing! Absolutely love the look of these trucks and for the price, they make a perfect platform to build on.
Very descent quality for a 300 $ rig. I have it from 3 days and like it. I already have and run couple of 1/24 Power wagons and the new Atlas is huge . I like it. The FMS correct the stupidly short wheel base of the 1/24's in this larger vehicle and it's climbing abilities are much better. Recommend it !
I immediately fell in love with this car and am buying this on Tuesday. Until now I have only stunt cars but for my garden it is optimal. Beautiful video. Thanks
Really found myself looking at crawlers recently . Something I need to get in to . Lovely looking truck as you said though does not seem to have that low throttle control of others I've seen .
Love to see it with some brass bits and that 1080 esc. Could see the performance skyrocketing for minimal investment. Was there any oil in the shocks? Still looks bouncy.
LoL! Can't help noticing the FMS website pointing out that you can save $34 if you spend $1089.94, by buying this one and five more RCs!! And that all five are frequently bought together!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂
From my years in sales(auto parts-25 and my 7-8 years apprenticing at my Dads Auto repair shop) the word cheap creates doubt. The term “ Cost Effective “ causes curiosity. I also randomly watched for a minute a UA-cam vid recently about a Laegendary 1/10 crawler. The “ UA-camr “ was complaining left and right about the quality when in reality they should have talked more about that it was a great crawler for a beginner with many options not usually seen at that price point. They failed to mention the fully functional winch, full metal housing fully adjustable shocks which were capable of being filled with oil and thus becoming a great learning tool themselves. They were also not bright enough to showcase the 5 channel relabeled Dumbo RC controller that came with it. A very cost effective controller with excellent range an great durability as proven by one Mr Kevin Talbot. The Crawler was $200 and was made in all the same ways with the solid axles, fully articulated suspension etc etc. I mean are you going to go buy a brand new Porsche tomorrow without knowing anything about it or cars in general and then immediately complain about how you can’t get anything to work and rant about how difficult it is to drive. Hey we’re all not Saudi Princes with money to burn. I apologize for going on, good day to you sir. Keep up the good work. 👍
Well, for 340$ that laegendary sells I can't agree that is a good value at all. For the same money I can get Traxxas trx4 sport and we all know that Traxxas is not really good value
I have been saying the same about mid budget crawlers coming with the HW 1080, crawlers are getting better but the ESC's are not. Hobbywing could do with making a budget crawling ESC, probably only needs to be 40-50ampt
It's a very cool looking truck. Maybe I am just getting old, but it seemed more bouncy than other Rochobby trucks. I guess it could be accentuated by the larger scale. I enjoyed your review.
Hi. Admire your videos and looking to move up to the 1/10 scale. Been looking at the Enduro SE Trail Truck, Sendero RTR and would like your thoughts on how these two compare. Thank you.
So I was just watching and thinking about shelf Queens, just out of curiosity how many people actually have them, I personally don't because I don't have any friends that come over to look at them. So I don't have any how about you?
I have a few RC cars I have not taken out of the box yet and others I have but have not even run them either but eventually will as the weather never seems to cooperate just like whenever I have planned of getting my telescope out for some observing with friends and family. It has become known as my W.M.D. a Weather Making Device or Weapon of Mass Disapointment With some of my RC cars, I have 2 of each of them leaving one as they come still in its box and the other one to modify after using it for a while then later on I upgrade it for fun.
Thank you for this cool review! I'm a bit conflicted now because I was thinking on buying the FTX Outback Texan. It seems to me that the Atlas is comparable with the Texan in regards of specifications?
When it comes to 1/10 or 1/18 scale crawlers, what weight shock oil is best for crawlers. I know some of it comes down to personal preference but is there a standard to start with?
Nice looking Truck Phil, i have been looking at these, but i thought they were a tad expensive @ nearly £300, but definitely will be looking around for something like this 👍
@@anthonytuccillo6274 Hi,the FTX Texan was the alternative truck i have been looking at, thanks for your input, it will be the FTX is cheaper & better specc'd ATB
For $250 usd I picked up an Element Gate Keeper on Amazon for a friend of mine, this FMS model seems to have one too many drawbacks for what it is. Nicely done on the review though!
The springs look really stiff for the weight of the truck. That seems to be a common aspect with FMS/RocHobby. Still, I bet this is a good platform to make a capable crawler.
@Tim Gooding yeah that is very true but because of the government's greed company's have to put things at this price point to stay afloat, everything goes up in price bar our wages 😡 but even know its not exactly cheap it is quite cheap for a decent quality 10th scale crawler,
I so want one but I'd want to some how make the rear links extended like rcawd or mcque and have that bendy in them so I can make it look like a big power wagon
I challenged kevin Talbot to built a wpl d12 after i saw he dope as video he did yeaterday (the carbon m3 is on another level). Also i am copying everything you did on the d12 on my build :D
I tell you I know you you said it needs a 1080, and to be honest I do agree but I think this rig really needs the 2300 fuzion pro. I just don't like the battery size.
@@steve.wellersteve.weller9855 I think Rgt / Ftx should make a version of the challenger offering that 390 motor as well. Like the Jimney and rock cruisers
Shame it didn't come in yellow you could of done the wrecker 😉 I did see 1 company has done a "morvair" body can't remember who now but that would look sick with a the wrecker
@Jason Becker yes that's it I've got a scx10 2 raw builders kit sat there as been debating what to actually do with it but think it's the route I'm going to go
When I saw this on your other channel I thought it was going to be the 1/10 version of the Atlas 6x6 so a little disappointed. I do hope they bring out a 1/10 6x6.

Fusion SE,DESERT lizard shocks, and a nice servo and I bet that would be a really fun rig
That's the plan for me!

How much is it cost
Great shots as usual! The contrast of the body and the backdrops really make it pop! Well done sir...oh and the truck is pretty nice too 😉
I love that testing location 😍 It's a nice truck but the suspension is very bouncy it could do with better dampening 🧐
haha I JUST literally said the same, coke's on you! hahahah
Nice work! You really do get sent some great stuff. Like your trail/crawling spot too.
2:14 massive Timelapse that finger pointer😂😂
Definitely needs some shocks. Lol
Would be perfect to do a rust job on.

looks like nice rtr and easily upgradable id expect.
Thanks for sharing this cool truck 🛻
I have had it since it first hit the market. Decent truck I have put it to the test in the woods and creek beds
Hola Mr Tomley ese camion esta grande y el precio esta bien , saludos y gracias por compartir , aca en Panama no llegan estos modelos
When I see an orange dodge the dukes of hazard theme plays in my head. “Someday the mountain might catch but the law never will” yeeehaw
I ain’t mad at those radios. For budget (and nice!) RC
Great video and the song perfect
Yeah seems really bouncy even after you topped up the oil in the shocks. If I had my druthers I'd start making dual rate springs for R/C.

Been looking to forward to this one. 👍

Awesome!! Is the Atlas oversized the fms FJ40?😢
If they can make a 1/10 atlas 6x6 for under 450 then I'll be very interested
The body is pretty for sure. Do it look like they used the mashigan chassis to build this???
Great truck for the price...adding a Fusion motor and better shocks makes it perfect for me.

PLEASE give us a 1080, FMS ATLAS 6x6!!! 🙏❤😎👍🏼
On sale right now for 200 clams. Pretty hard to beat that price
What battery actually fits the battery tray properly?
I tell you I know you you said it needs a 1080, and to be honest I do agree but I think this rig really needs the 2300 fuzion pro. I just don't like the battery size.
Is this the same platform as the Mashigan?
With the next race with Talbot man you should go to CMCRC in Ipswich which is a astro track
I’d love to see you build this truck on a budget. Keep it around the price of a basic upgrades trx4 sport or basecamp.
I only have 2wd 🤣
Hey Tom! Do you think the truck can accept capra 1.9 axles instead of those stock straight axles?
What type of battery would u recommend ?
What's up with that chassis? Reminds me of those $90 "hobby grade" rc off Amazon 😂
You can see the scars where they ripped the mashigan body off .
Hey Phil 👋
Wow it's cool !

They are pretty good. Low breakdown time. A sweet value for beginners and seasoned vets. Peace Rc4evr
