I had mine apart marine greasing, and I had the Axles completely apart. I didn't have nothing but bearings. If there's bushings hiding somewhere, I failed to see them. Awesome Monster Truck for $150. Fun right out of the box, but once you drop a high speed motor in it, you'll be upgrading almost everything in the drive train to metal. Do Driveshafts first! Lol🤣🍻🖖
I’m having problems with my truck. It’s connected to the transmitter but it’s not going when I get it throttle or turning when I turn the wheel on the controller.
I just bought the FCX24 Power Wagon RTR. All the reviews are showing a different transmitter with switches to reverse not having to press twice and different drag configurations, but I got this crippled transmitter and mine doesn't even have this mode by double click the REV button. it just does nothing... This is misleading advertising!! I cannot set drag modes and I cannot set crawl mode, very disappointed
The manual tells you how to adjust drag brake. My v2 goes straight into reverse as well but I don't see a way to adjust that so maybe I just got lucky.
Still waiting on a 4 Wheel steering version or more aftermarket support for these , for the price not a bad starter rig . But a more premium version with better parts and 4ws would be nicer even if 100$ more
It looks like they have added a servo saver, apart from that there is no difference to the original unless there is more they did not show. My V1 can do all the throttle and steering adjustments.
Can you please explain why after installing hi speed gearbox and motor I can not longer shift gears correctly? Direct swap from your FMS stock Ive email and I seem to be the only person with this issue!!!! I can only get crawl in first if I push on the pin or have the truck upside down or no weight on the driveshafts otherwise it will only crawl when I'm completely holding the pin flush 🤬🤬 the hi speed end works great it's just the low gear will not engage
I have a similar problem after metal gear swap sometime the gears slip and I need to shift or forward/reverse until it catches. Wondering if I need to recalibrate the shift servo?
@@efotog I changed battery's which helped alot of it mate.. pcm issue was one issues.... The batterys are identical for non pcm and pcm from FMS for some reason.. I used a n vision nano to test that 30c 2s.. I re did the truck and installed the shift link as I put the gearbox back in I then made sure it was in hi gear pushed the link to that end and then assembled it.. was a little play due to one of the metal gears has a flanged shim and the other is squared and the slightest bit to high depending on how I arranged those it changed how much it slipped I then went into the controller and changed the speed and travel of the servo just enough to give it that little extra push... Works fn awsome I actually blew my shafts haha . Also!!!? I haven't tried the lock diffs either but I suspect with the hi speed the gearing gets confused to easily with the upgrades 😜
I should note I changed the shafts aswell as I detonate mine doing blsckflips... The metal one I have are kinda heavy and are centred by grub screws rather then a. D channel... So the torque transfer from that might be effecting it since I did have it working smoothly
Shows nothing about binding the truck. I wasted my money on one of these. Second time using it the remote just beeps the esc flashes. The truck does nothing. You show us how to put the remote in buying mode and nothing else. Garbage product and the customer service sucks
Just got brand new never used FCX24 & I can not get the transmitter & receiver/esc to bind. Going to have to purchase a new transmitter & receiver/esc just to get to use it for the first time, fucking bullshit quality radio system is complete garbage!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to share some of your items on my RC channel @Ezboy.rc553 I have a growing fan base that have told me they purchased the vehicles I have many times and now I'm ready to get into some of the smaller trucks. I love the red high roller prototype coming out to good job on that.
Glad some of the functionality made it back into this remote. Disappointed to see that bushings now come with instead of bearings.
Do you know which bearings were changed to bushings?
@@efotog pretty sure it’s the inner portal bearings that the main axles shafts ride on.
Right on, thanks. 👍

@@Captain_Tool_Vicarious would you know where to find the driveshafts? Website or brand name? Along with oil for shocks? Thanks
So Beautiful RC Monster ❤
Nice addition definitely worth the money and a upgrade
What's the improvement?
mine will not exit the menu mode. after i double tap reverse, the green light just keeps on blinking....
Very Cool RC and naice Info Share!!!
I’m having problems with my truck. It’s connected to the transmitter but it’s not going when I get it throttle or turning when I turn the wheel on the controller.

Man I absolutely love my Smasher

Great looking truck!!
i must have the v1, cuz mine wont even go into the menu mode...
Invaluable!!!!

Can you run 12S on this?
😂
How do I change into crawler mode? I want to reverse without pressing reverse twice.
Cannot be done sadly.
Swith both Transmitter and truck on. Double tap the Rev button, light blinks. Tap Bind 1 time. Then double tap Rev again to leave settings. Have fun!!
I tried this doesn’t blink twice on my remote
I would love to know what the one steel rod with hole in it for nobody tells you about that

How do I upgrade this thing? All the upgrades I see are for the max smasher
This is the Max Smasher... They had to drop the Max part. Look up FMS SMASHER V2 + (whatever part you need).
How do I turn the truck on wth
Shifter trim how to?
What was changed on the V2 version?
They made it shittier
Porfavor alguien ayúdeme no logro emparejar el control con mi rc
