“What’s on the floor…Episode 1.” 😂
I actually want to see this episode, Even if it's just a pilot episode!
Beautiful.
I said the badges were too big for the rear... but the comments said... oohhhhh noooo they are not... well, Im glad you also mentioned it as you are a more credible 'Scale Nerd' than me, so thanks for backing me up 😇
A simple look at the back of any real one would silence the critics! You were right!
The earlier FJ40 had the upper hatch with the small split doors below. Newer ones had the full split rear doors and upgraded rear lights. This FMS missed a few things, the windshield "catches" on the hood are missing, the antenna is in the foot vent, and the rear side marker lights should be red. I had a brand new FJ40 in 1978... absolutely loved it!
Love that you are enjoying the FJ. You will love it on leaf springs. Single leaf front and main and long in the rear worked out great for me. The shocks don’t hold oil btw.
Drift missile yes! It better be Volvo 240 like in the picture then! Aplastics makes one ;)
I did a mazda rz7 body on my first custom drift body....back fire...exposed inner cooler..roll bars..wing..all that....
When you go to superg and look at their body selection...it's insane at the possibility and potential for customizations....unlimited...
Boom mic! On the fj40 lol. Awesome video enjoy the vacation!!
That fms fj40 is actually really cool, they done a great job on it and the price is great too. The next drift body will be a Volvo wagon, that’d actually be really cool.
80's Volvo 242 for drift... there wouldn't be many, and you could put a crystal shift knob in it, too.
Have a great vacation
Reat episode matt, i think the new drift body is gonna be a Volvo or Mercedes. The Fj is super cool, i cant wait for you to do some weathering and add your touch. Have a great vacation
Enjoy your vacation!
And it better be a Volvo wagon body!
I'm not the only one not to want to use bodies on which I spent a lot of time 😂
Have good time during your vacation.
I have waaaaaay tooo many Hot wheels and Matchbox cars. The FMS FJ-40 is awesome. Upgrades: RAW 500 servo, big bore shocks 65mm, Mytrickrc headlights, tail lights, 2 light bars and flood lights. New wheels, new receiver and tons of 3d printed 1/6 (1/7) scale accessories. Headlight bulb removal takes a lighter, a scraper, a drill for 5mm bulbs and bulb backing to screw them in.
cant wait to see the weathering on the fj!
FMS going to be big players in the not to distant future
I'm thinking about getting one of those FJ40's and I'd definitely want to do the leaf spring conversion so I hope more content for it is on the way! 🤓
When you get to episode 69 you’ll have to be working on the sand scorcher and Capra for sure! And try not to do too many innuendos along with it…😂 and that Land Cruiser is pretty cool too! I’ve got an old proline bushwacker body (before they got the license if you don’t know, it’s pretty sweet!) on an scx10 i cobbled together, complete with a chassis from an scx10 that had been run over by a 1:1, i call it my salvage title truck! 😂😂
Enjoy the vacation. Take some time for you and the Mrs...
I hope you have a great vacation!
🤣 Missed that Flying Cars joke the first time time I watched this.
Heck ya Drifting....A super built
Excellent. Especially like the bit about the new Landcruiser. The FJ from that era is my favourite too, as anyone who's been to my channel will tell you. Lots of nice details on the FMS to break off and leave as offerings to the trail gods. We need more of that.
Wow, that Toyota looks amazing!
VOLVO drift build coming up!!!😮
I love the fms fj40. The 1 thing I was disappointed about was the holes in the roof when you remove the roof rack. Hopefully knight customs gets ahold of this and makes some inner fenders for this and other parts,lol.
FMS should make a cucv m1009 with that amount of detail 👌
(1:54) ...Maybe the "not-so-strong" magnets are intentional to allow for the "sah-weet" body/s to "give" upon even light- impact, so the fragile components, like your resin-wing/spoiler, has a better chance of not getting broke or "totalled".
🤔 For a crawler, or trailtruck, I would definetly want/need stronger magnets, but of course ultimately this depends upon application, as we
all know, by experience !!
😉...👌✌️

Sounds like an amazing vacation you are taking! Wishing you a great trip!
It was amazing! Just getting back to answering comments today!
Enjoy your vacation brother you deserve it
Thanks so much
Have a great vacation 👍
Thank you, I will
Good episode man. Have a fun vacation!!!
Thanks! Will do!
Have a great vacation!
It was amazing!
Glad to see the window rubber painted on the FJ! Makes a huge difference. I put the leafs from my spare Jimny on mine. I like it much better. Just need to sort some shocks (sans springs). They will have to be fairly short... I also plan on printing some rubber bumpers for the bumpers (say bumper one more time...) 😁.
Very cool!
Congratulations on your 60 show!
Always a great inspiration und fun time watching your updates on your channel!🎉
Thanks so much!
The FJ40 looks amazing , now to talk my wife into letting me have one. Have a great holiday !!
Good luck convincing her. We had a fantastic time in Ireland... just got back yesterday and answering comments!
Legitimately interested in your other hobbies, or whatever else is on the floor lol. I collect Transformers/Diaclone robots, and breed a few types of freshwater fish. Hope you had a good break, and GO GO MCLAREN TEAM!!
Reve d rdx chassis is amazing. Just built my first one a couple of days ago and it is like a cheat code compared to my other chassis. Build a Lancia Delta body for your next body. I really like the squared out look for a drift missile build.
Hope you get a great vacation, can’t say it to many times… such a good show for everyone but of course especially for us scale nerds 👌😍
- I have no idea what new body you will select, but if I got into drifting, besides my Gmade (GS02F) and Axial SCX10 II crawling addiction, I would drift with a Datsun 510 2-Door, from the old...
... (HPI) "Cup Racer" RTR, but I'm not sure that HPI will bring this one "back".
🤔...!!??? ...But it would be stellar if they did !!!! 😀🤞
- I do like FMS's new FJ40, looks pretty darn good !!!
Although, I can never get passed the difference of the box-y & flat back-end, 😖 ...where the front looks asthetically pleasing !!! 👍
Very cool content. Your Porsche is amazing! Thanks for the run-through on the fms fj40. It is starting to take shape ❤. As far as the drift body...hmmmm...Pinto wagon all caged out, missing body panels and all.
Received my stickers today thanks🏴
Thanks for your support!
U definitely crushed that Porsche, man. Gets all the respect at the track with looks alone lol
Oh yeah, please do a 240 drift body!!
Or a Datsun 510 wagon!
I cant wait for more fj40 content!
I was looking at putting a 2 in 1 motor esc. I might have eyeballed it incorrectly, but there may be clearance issues. Also, as far as the functioning louvers go, a WPL has had them. I don’t recall how long it’s been.
My dad had a '77 Land Cruiser, it had barn doors, pretty sure that wasn't exclusive to Japan, living in Southern California, same place he bought it from.
I had to get this one when i saw it, i got the blue one, same colors as dad's '77. The only thing that bummed me out was the back end having the short doors and hatch, especially since it's always popping open! Lol
Very cool!
That FJ looks amazing.
Great review! Enjoy your trip with Rebecca! Watch you again soon!!!
Thanks so much!
Volvo wagon drift missile
You are so dang adorable! Love your content, personality, sense of humor, face, skills and taste! Now I gotta try to find your IG to creep some vaca pics. Hope you enjoy the time off. Cheers.
Thank you! We’re having a great time!
I absolutely love that Porsche! Also, that FJ40 is so fricken awesome! (I think your tires are on backwards though. 🤔) I'd love to get my hands one either of those rigs...or better yet, BOTH! 😂😂😂
MT/R's are asymetrical by design. One side will always look weird.
Matt have a safe and enjoyable trip, I just might have to check into rehab for SBG withdrawal symptoms
Have a great and safe vacation, enjoy!
Thanks! It was awesome!
injoy your time off🎉
That Porsche is sick brother nice! 👍🏼
Not expecting those details at $350, the best value scale RTR for what its worth
I like using velcro instead if magnets on any hardbodies I've done. Much harder to come off (especially while crawling). I have some 15lb outdoor stuff on my scx6 body and can almost lift it with only 3 spots.
Hair is on fleek!
Have a nice vacation.
Thank you!!
I would love to see that land cruiser with the leaf spring suspension in action
Drift missle… got to go with a jzx100 or some other Toyota chaser. One of the most common missle cars in Japan!
They really did hit it out of the park with this one! That mustard color is masterful. Really capable rigs I hear as well. Man, you and Gabe From UA-cam channel ; “Make stuff Better “ could be bros Dude. Great overview my friend!👍🏻😎
Have a good time in 🇮🇪. Have a guiness for me.
Just one? 😂
YESS DRIFT MISSLE!!!!
New body: Volvo 240
Yes fms should have put leaf springs on the fj and mashigan from factory due to weight.
Try adding some velcro to the magnets
Have a great time on your trip 🍄. I’m going to Hawaii next week can’t wait 🌈😎✌🏻💨
Ooh! I'd love to go to Hawaii some day!
4:30 the new body will be a B13 Nissan Sentra.
As a Volvo 240 owner I’m hoping for 240 for the new body
The new body is going to be a
Datsun 510..👌🏻😎
pandora ae86 with the inner fender set or the s13
Do a hardbody drift build!
Ol' sticky hands Matt, good morning Matt. Awesome video as always. The Porsche is looking really badass. Keep up the great work your doing
Thanks 👍
new body Volvo perhaps I'm getting a 745 for my drifter
I had said it before if FMS starts coming out with 1/10 scale RC’s all the other companies better take notice. How they pack all those features in at that price is unbelievable. So now that we all see this it’s like ok are the other companies ripping us off? 🤷🏻♂️
Porsche needs more low, but looks good. Wanna get the Land Cruiser and put AR60s under it.
Matt, nice pre-review of the FJ! Could you let us know where to find that mesh? My LHSs don't carry much of it, and I'm always afraid to buy that stuff sight unseen, fearing I'll get the wrong scale.
Have a wonderful vacation!
It's made by a hobby company called K&S. Should be in the metal section of most hobby shops! Good luck!
I am so happy you bought the FMS FJ40! I bought one right when they were announced, ripped all the electronics out, and ordered the leaf spring kit. I love that RC4WD tire on there so much I just ordered a set as well. Any suggestions on wheels that are more period correct?
I was thinking at taking my first crack at weathering on this truck as well. Will you be using the same method you used on the Landrover? Or the oilbrushers?
I haven’t decided yet, still a few things to do first. Might just airbrush this one. Thanks for watching and good luck with the build!
If you don’t make a Suga drift middle a thing, I’ll have to start watching WNL through Josh’s feed 😅
😂
Some times it feels like you live at that desk
Toyota Chaser? I know you would love a big square Japanese body to thrash
you should get an Aplastics Volvo 242 body
You should build a Nissan Skyline Hakosuka GTR for your drift body...
Hope ya holidaying here🤔, downunder Matt ol son😎 its spring and Weather is Spectacular here in Queensland🥵🤣
Ireland... and it rained almost every day, but we didn't go there for the weather! Australia is definitely on the list.
@scalebuildersguild oh Dam, my brother is living in county Clair in west cost of Ireland... best place to have a drink INSIDE, out of the forever rains🥳
Drift HooniVAN or drift truck would be cool.
🤘
Oh come on, show the Hot Wheels!! LOL 🤣 Have a great trip dude! 🤙🏼
Somebody needs to tell your sound guy to stop 🛑 photobombing the video with the microphone 🎤 lol 😆 nonetheless always enjoy your attention to the scale details and informative content. Keep up the great work 😊
Sound guy? Ha!
i guess its gonna be a volvo-wagon.
Please do a leaf spring conversion video on the fms fj40. And weathering video.. and Running Video.
Check, and mate!
The new drift body will be a Volvo 940 gl wagon and you can’t change my mind
Wheel and tire choice is an automatic plus for this. Tires are spot on, imo. I assume you're not going for the stock pizza cutters on steels with moon hubcaps look. Good. What leaf spring setup are you going to use? RC4WD? Boom Racing? What's the shock length? Keeping it scale with Bilsteins-ish ones? It will be cool to watch this one over time.
FMS a offers a leaf conversion kit, I’ll be using that. Thanks for watching!
The only or first thing I want to change on the FMS fj40 is to move the front axle forward just a little because it’s supposed to be. The only real one that has the axle where it is on the FMS model is the Icon fj and Toyota’s version looks better. Matchbox’s FJ40 does it right btw. I’d also want a little bit of a lift. Idk what I’d specifically need to get to make it happen much less whet it would cost tho.
Not a great idea to mess with the steering geometry, but I understand your desire to make it more scale accurate. I’m switching to leaf springs, hoping that will help.
@@scalebuildersguild oy
Wifi on the plane? How'd you get so rich 😅 FMS just keeps getting better and better. Enjoy the vaykay dude
Didn't spring for the wifi on the plane, but all of the hotels and Airbnbs had it, so I edited there!
@@scalebuildersguild 😅👍
New body Datsun 510.
Drift body idea: 240sx with rocket bunny muscle car body kit
For the new drift body, I'm guessing Volvo 850R (or T5)
I wanted the FMS FJ40 until I found out how big it is. Im not sure I can buy an FJ that is larger than my Defender, C-10 and Sierra 3500.
Fair enough! Thanks for watching!
Next body will be a Nissan Hako....or at least it should be.
