Honestly, if it were more yellow I think you'd be able to see it through the box. It's also nice to see a Hilux of that generation depicted with the fantastically useful rolled bed side.
I personally am excited to see ANY hardbody support especially from the factory. I mean if new bright can make a whole rc car with a hardbody cheaper than you can get most poly bodys these days,, then the real rc companies can too.. I am in love with the new trx 69 blazer body but for over 150 for a clear poly body 😬😖 just obvious price gouging
It's great to see fms doing all these cool options. Now let's see a 10th scale yota from them... or axial.... hahaha. I know there is a few out there haha. Great video man.
Yes I love reviews like this from you and I think this yota looks awesome. Also Matt it was kinda funny to see your face in the windshield at about 5:37 lol.
I’m throwing the ball back and forth with my cat he will go get it and bring it back I’m guessing he is all played out he is tired and just laying on his back now . He can become lazy when they keep bringing out boring trucks , love the show keep it coming Matt you definitely have the mindset to keep it going thanks man
I vote, you tear it down, use your masterful weathering skills and show everyone what a 35 year old 80's truck really looks like...in 2022. I would but I suck at painting and anyways that's why I'm here.
@@Livlifetaistdeth To tell you the truth I had an 83 and it was pretty rusted out but saveable and sold it to upgrade to a almost pristine 1980 longbed with a 20r with a 4 speed and believe it or not ac still is still ice cold
yes i do like it and i do like reviews like this. I do also wish the doors opened to get at that sweet interior. I started out in 1/10 but have slowly been getting into the 1/16 scale stuff and its nice to see other smaller scale trucks hit the market. hopefully they keep improving to the paint of where 1/10's are now. thanks matt for another great video. off to watch your resin printer one next!
And another RC company drops the"scale" ball. If you see a 1:1 Chevy and a Toyota in a parking lot, they are obviously different sizes. They obviously are trying to appeal to this side of the hobby and it would be great to see a company step up and make a bigger chassis for bigger vehicles. (Are you listening RC4WD?) This is the bane to my participation in this hobby! While I understand that they are saving money on the front end, there is definitely a strong market for this idea.
I'm trying to stick to only 1/24 and 1/10 scales with my rigs but all of the FMS 'S releases are making me second guess my micro scale decision but I'm in too deep to pull out now...... (That's what she said). Happy New Year !!
I can't find it now, but there is at least one company that can make you a custom figurine/doll/model of your self in any scale you want... If you wish it for your truck. ;-)
With the details and licensing, what are the chances that FMS may move into the 1/10 realm? It would be nice to have someone new offering good hardbody options.. 🤔
Hi, I can't get the turn signal to work in emergency mode. When I press the - button in B mode, nothing happens. Do I have to do it some other way that I don't understand? Thanks
First off, there's nothing wrong with a "scaler" not everyone is a diehard rock hugger lol, love these honest reviews and your channel 😄 keep up the good work
FMS is ticking some boxes, I can see them starting to gain a following. I like the looks of these although I do prefer the Chevy. Best of all, they are hardbodies and that opens it up to more painting and weathering possibilities. I think 1/18-scale offers more detail and versatility than 1/24-scale but I'd like to see more capable rigs than these 👍
Aside from shock oil recommendations, I can’t really offer much more. I’m not a big fan of flex. If you’re going slow, go for a thicker oil to slow the movement.
Matt I have a general rc question that's a little off topic but is a FMS question. My atlas runs faster in reverse. I've switched polarity ( negative to positive and negative to negative / positive positive on the wires from motor to esc connect ) etc I've switched direction via remote. Doesn't matter it still stays faster in reverse. I have a after market esc. I've read about timing be retarded for longer battery life. That's above my knowledge. Any advice. Or is this just maybe how it is? Thank you in advance. Cheers
I'd be curious to know what ESC it was before I could hazard an educated guess, but it's usually down to motor polarity and timing. You've tried the polarity already, so it might be the timing, or the ESC. If you let me know what ESC it is, I can try and do some research for you!
if you went off the number and style it looks a greek plate, but the ca? yea theres no ca in europe unless its catalonia, spain, but that would be "cat" , i would lose a letter either "c" croatia or "a" austria as far as im aware canada is cnd
They screwed up on the interior. The interior is from the previous generation to this body style. That should open up quite the market for all the 3D printer guys. Everybody's going to need to scrap this interior or throw it in their WPL
crazy how much money FMS put into advertising this mid ass truck. this thing doesnt look good at all, performes even worse and I get yall are trying to make money but these things just suck...
Im from Russia, and I learn English for your videos . Your talk very clear 👏😁.
I ALWAYS use my blinker LITERALLY ANY TIME I turn AT ALL!!!
In all seriousness though, they did a great job on this model!
“Phasers set to stun” comes to mind when I see that radio. Nice truck, like the look. More of an indoor “crawler” I think.
@Donald Bonner Yes, especially since it isn't waterproof.
I really like what FMS is doing these days. I ordered my Hilux immediately. It will be my 2nd FMS in the collection. Great Video!
Thanks for watching!
I can vouch for the body spec. My 1984 RN50 Toyota has an Oct. ‘83 build date and was equipped with the Japanese style bed. Cool model!
After hearing “scaler” I could hear Josh pushing himself away from his desk and saying “ yeah I’m done:” lol. Great video and good looking rig.
Glad you enjoyed!
Love the warm white headlights. Does a lot for the retro aesthetic
FMS makes some great stuff! Happy 2022!
Not sure about a 83 but the 87 Toyota 4x4 was the same 6 lug as Chevy, I've swapped wheels on them before
Honestly, if it were more yellow I think you'd be able to see it through the box.
It's also nice to see a Hilux of that generation depicted with the fantastically useful rolled bed side.
That yellow is true to the era though lol
I agree, it's a pretty slick looking body. Thanks for watching!

i love it too. got the black body and 2 clear. set on 69 bodies lol
Oh this one is nice. It seems perfect for playing around in the flowerbed and landscaping. Great job Matt.
Thanks 👍

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Toyota, Nissan, and Chevy 4x4 are all 6lug wheels just FYI. Love all your shows
Thanks for watching!
3/4 ton is actually 8lug so there's that....
I’m throwing the ball back and forth with my cat he will go get it and bring it back I’m guessing he is all played out he is tired and just laying on his back now . He can become lazy when they keep bringing out boring trucks , love the show keep it coming Matt you definitely have the mindset to keep it going thanks man
Have to agree: boring truck
Hahaha! Thanks for watching!
I love the functional tailgate, I wish more rc trucks had a functional tailgate
I vote, you tear it down, use your masterful weathering skills and show everyone what a 35 year old 80's truck really looks like...in 2022. I would but I suck at painting and anyways that's why I'm here.
That would be just a pile of rust . not to much fun to drive around

With a nice paint job would look so much better!

Happy New Matt! I love the Scalers Builders Guild!

That radio really does look like a lambo ish sports car 🤘
Another great video from “Scaler Builders Guild” 😂
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
What are your predictions of rc crawler products for next year? I’m curious about your opinion. Happy new year
Happy new year! Hopefully, lots of things with tracks. My wife is still waiting for flying cars for 2022 IRL.

😂 Everyone loves a That's what she said! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!
good review. just need to see a clip of the trucks true low speed control in that slow mode you talked about, with no slow motion
Not a bad truck 👍🏾💯
I ordered mine yesterday 👍
Hope you like it!
Mantap kawan semangat terus hadir keren banget ya
Awesome review to start in 2022 👏 happy new year matt!
I hope rc4wd is watching this 😅
Happy new year!
Hoping you mention the terrible whine from the cheap ESC…………bah! Happy New Year, look forward to seeing it painted
Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the whine of the ESC 😉. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!
@@scalebuildersguild 😂😂😂😂💪
I wonder if they'll do a less expensive version like they did with the K10 and the glacier.
They might! Who knows what they'll do... I'd check my crystal ball, but it has a large crack in it. 😉 Thanks for watching.
@@scalebuildersguild 😄😄
Happy new year
Happy new year!
I love this one
Looks more like an 84 than an 83? My 83 was the older body style.
I can't find it now, but there is at least one company that can make you a custom figurine/doll/model of your self in any scale you want... If you wish it for your truck. ;-)
Sweet Toyota
With the details and licensing, what are the chances that FMS may move into the 1/10 realm? It would be nice to have someone new offering good hardbody options.. 🤔
I’d really be interested to see what they could do at a larger scale.
Cool lil review…. But that van in the background stole the show for me! Did you do a video on that?
Coming soon!
Hi, I can't get the turn signal to work in emergency mode.
When I press the - button in B mode, nothing happens. Do I have to do it some other way that I don't understand? Thanks
I don’t think signals work in emergency mode, as they’re always flashing, no?
Is there a trick to getting good camera angles? I can edit ok but I really struggle at getting good shots to edit.
Thanks for your message, try watching my How to Edit RC video series. Happy New Year!
I found out the small black series star wars figures fit in 1/18 pretty goo
are the headlights always on when accelerating?
Yep.
@@scalebuildersguild is there an option to shut it off if u dont want to use it? Or it always stays on when u push the accelarate?
@@seano906 I don’t recall, but pretty sure you can turn them off via a switch on the radio.
@@scalebuildersguild thanks for your help, im thinking to buy one, looks pretty good.
First off, there's nothing wrong with a "scaler" not everyone is a diehard rock hugger lol, love these honest reviews and your channel 😄 keep up the good work
It’s the term that I object to, not the actual builds! 😆
Japanese version! Very nice 👌
Thanks for watching!
If you paint the inner bed black, than I suppose, the yella, will appropriate...
It might actually make it worse! 😉 Thanks for watching!
2:32 Hey! What car is that in the back? The orange. (i am from Brazil)
Custom 6x6 Cherokee on Axial 6x6.

Same here! Thanks for watching!
The 4wd Toyotas had a 6 Lug pattern
Which is exactly what the title says when I corrected myself.
@@scalebuildersguild Had to re-watch the video. I don't know how I missed that. I guess I should pay more attention in class.
Shouldn't take long for someone to do a Marty McFly with 1 lol
Good idea!
Hey I’m building a trx4 sport and I need help with setting up my shocks for crawling I want a really soft flexible suspension
Aside from shock oil recommendations, I can’t really offer much more. I’m not a big fan of flex. If you’re going slow, go for a thicker oil to slow the movement.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! It has a Harley mode!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤣🤣🤣 How big are the tires? They look pretty cool
Unlike Harley, I don't need to measure 😉. Thanks for watching!
I think is a very cool little rig! But somehow the proportions of the chassis seems a tad narrow! Or the differentials!
Old trucks were quite narrow, but I was only 6 years old when this came out... 😉
1/2👍🏾
Jose's Landscapes? Maybe? Lol
Joshua Land Scaping
🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉💯💯
JoyToy figures are 1/18 scale bro
Thanks for the tip!
Plz wether it
Can you up grade the electronics .
Not without some major modifications for the motor. Thanks for watching!
Pizza planet truck!!!!
😂
Matt I have a general rc question that's a little off topic but is a FMS question.
My atlas runs faster in reverse.
I've switched polarity
( negative to positive and negative to negative / positive positive on the wires from motor to esc connect ) etc
I've switched direction via remote.
Doesn't matter it still stays faster in reverse.
I have a after market esc.
I've read about timing be retarded for longer battery life.
That's above my knowledge.
Any advice. Or is this just maybe how it is?
Thank you in advance. Cheers
I'd be curious to know what ESC it was before I could hazard an educated guess, but it's usually down to motor polarity and timing. You've tried the polarity already, so it might be the timing, or the ESC. If you let me know what ESC it is, I can try and do some research for you!
Can you please do a video on your gray scx24 JLU. 27
If im not mistaken CA is the abbreviation fir Canada in the European union, but Canada does not use european union plates. What gives?
Beats me! It’s a weird one!
if you went off the number and style it looks a greek plate, but the ca? yea theres no ca in europe unless its catalonia, spain, but that would be "cat" , i would lose a letter either "c" croatia or "a" austria as far as im aware canada is cnd
Hey did you know you have a car driving down your wall?
I'm a toyota kinda guy and that is not an 83 ! The hood style is wrong ! This one is to strait
Maybe change the name to scalerbuildersguild ?
😂
Maybe it's me but the 18/24 scale don't do nothing for me also not a fan of 1/6 in crawlers
They screwed up on the interior. The interior is from the previous generation to this body style. That should open up quite the market for all the 3D printer guys. Everybody's going to need to scrap this interior or throw it in their WPL
Good to have options!
That’s not a 1983
Maybe not in North America!
No one has an issue with "scaler" lmao
Except me.
crazy how much money FMS put into advertising this mid ass truck. this thing doesnt look good at all, performes even worse and I get yall are trying to make money but these things just suck...
Probably why I refer to it as a model first, RC second.
