Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лют 2024
- FMS just went to a new level with the FCX10 Chevrolet K5 Blazer found here: bit.ly/3IgxBRJ This all new platform from the scale Guru’s still sports some scale goodness with the customizable licensed body, but now it has a new performance and feature packed chassis to back it up. The new rig may blow you away with all of the functions you can fiddle with to make your drive on the trail or crawl sessions more fun. In this video Greg tore down the truck so you can see what it’s all about then spent the day riverside for some fun off-road driving.

Get more info or get the FCX10 here: bit.ly/3IgxBRJ Fun fact; I actually took the truck apart twice to show you the internals because I had the camera settings wrong the first time. Getting the transmission out is a little tricky. But overall, a fun well-equipped platform. What's your thoughts on the new release?

I like how the lights are magnetically connected
Yeah, pretty cool and works well so far.
FMS has become one of my favorite R/C brand with their innovative designs and value. $399?! for all these features? That is just incredible value. Yes, I am getting this.
If you like to RC hit the like button, if not your lipos will puff 😅
😂🤣😂
Well that's mean. 😂😂😂
Lol
What about li-ions 👀
Can’t take chances w the lipos
Man, FMS is kicking butt with their products big time! Thank you Greg for your awesome reviews and for taking us to your beautiful crawling location. It's breathtaking.
Thanks! The location was perfect that day. Spent a lot of time driving after the filming was over. Just enjoying everything. Good stuff!
Yes the adjustable drag break super cool
Nice truck and good honest review the rear bed cover could be fitted with small magnets to avoid holes in the body, i did this with my black scx24 K5
I want to see a 1/10 Max Smasher next!!!
that diff actuator lever is kind of vurnelable placed but some kind of a skid plate should help, i dig the DIG function a lot😂
Yeah awesome I just ordered the black one yesterday I am stoked on this rig
Thanks I've again for a honest review! Another UA-cam channel didn't bother to tell us you had to install fenders and drill holes..
You're always on point!
Heck yeah love my night runs, as always appreciate you sharing your videos I watch for the next one until then peace and chicken grease 😁👋👋😎
Dang, that is a nice job. So good looking. Now I'm excited to see if FMS will do an 80's/90's Bronco version.
No one else guts the innards as well as you, Greg! I always look for your reviews because of this. Looks like a nice kit, very complete. Too bad I've got too many already, I'd love one with the locking diffs! Makes it tough to upgrade the electronics also; no brushless for this bad boy.
wonder why they call it a blazer when its clearly not. its cool it comes with the cap but having that back window makes it look like a extra short bed k10
That’s a nice spot to crawl!
Gosh I love that place, I would love to follow the Leader there, would be so much fun but hi live in Michigan little far for me to go there, that’s why I appreciate everything you sure this is my passion I love it 👍👍😎
Very informative review. Like that you open up the transmission etc. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for such a great review. Great job as always. I'm not sure what I enjoyed more the truck review or just the beautiful scenery. Such a beautiful place to take an rc trail truck. Definitely need to pick this truck up,just need to convince the wife to let me get it lol
Yeah, it’s a favorite spot. Hopefully I’m not over-using it. 😄
Back watching again Saturday morning, got mine but when I opened up the box it was the brown and yellow one I was so mad supposed to be the black one even the email they sent me saying it’s on the way shipped says black. I emailed them, while I was waiting to hear from them I found they had the body kit complete you can get so I just went ahead and ordered the black body complete kit so when I scratch the brown one which I hate I won’t care. Love the rig though it is awesome 👍👍
Absolutely love your testing grounds, RC heaven for sure 👍👍
Back watching again, just got information mine will be here Monday tomorrow awesome can’t wait
This is a great video! We appreciate solid RC content.
What an AWESOME rig! Finally some fresh air and price competition for the big brands! :D
Thx for pointing out the problems on the looks, will keep that stuff in mind (tho a minor consideration)
I’m really liking this one !!! Thanks for sharing
Awsome truck ,love the setup l was hoping for a detailed body like the fj ,still can’t wait to get one.
Drill holes on bed and cut tabs on upper cap off. That way you don't have holes on cab of truck.
This is on the top of my crawler list now
Oh yeah love my night runs, 👍👍
Pretty sweet rig for a great location.
well, this is nice, and no wire attached to the body...great ideea!
Love the honest review. Thanks for the detailed review and great run footage.Also thanks for the heads up sale on the Fms 1/6 Willys mb scaler for $200. Jumped on that one and am enjoying the heck out of it. 👍🏼
Happy to help!!
Realy nice rig from FMS👌
Good looking rig.
Thank you for the detailed review👍🏽👍🏽
Actually tore the truck apart twice because I had the camera set wrong the first time. 😆
Yeah and what a outstanding place to get your RC on yeah love it
Very good looking truck
Yes love my FMS I have three of there K5 Blazer‘s now I’ll have their 10th scale
The body isn’t as good as it could be… but for $100-$150 less than a TRX-4, you get the locking diffs and 2 speed like Traxxas, PLUS you get dig, and lights, and decent looking tires… if the aftermarket supports this with brass goodies and upgrade, it’ll do well!
Luv that orange 🍊 reminds me of a Tonka truck likey 😊
Ahhhhh the body is so close... that it makes the "misses" look worse. just my opinion. Looks a lot better with the cap on though, and two speed with dig..looks like some good "bang for your bucks". that's a winner. Awesome video and really enjoyed the "raw" start to the video.
Awesome video
RC heaven, heck you could bring your fly Rod with you and catch lunch sounds good to me 😁👍👍😎
There were a few guys fishing. No catches though.
Love the S.O.A. !!!
FMS is like the Hyundai of the RC world
features-
RWD option
drag brake controll
clear windows
lights included
etc😅
Not a huge fan of the body but all the other stuff it has going on makes up for that, love your honest down to the point reviews, this will definitely be on my list to buy, if the wife allows 😂
There’s a real easy way of doing it, unlatch the front first and then do the back because of the magnets pretty simple actually mini shop RC showed video on it
If it's a K5 blazer it needs a rear seat. Loose the roll bar. Otherwise it's a K10 pick up.
j ai hate qu il arrive en france ,great job ,thanks 👍👍
Yeah good save 👍👍
nice video 😊
The truck is mint.. at least theres not clips man..
I just got the skid plates for the unlocking mechanisms on the axles there, haven’t put them on yet just got them yesterday going to look for a video see if there is somebody that put them on already for reference
I haven’t been able to get out with mine yet, get a new RC and all it does is rain Yep rained all Friday night I’m watching now Saturday morning 8:19 AM hoping to get out later on today but it’s supposed to rain
A really cool car and FMS did pretty much everything right with their first performance oriented 10 scale crawler. The only '*flaw' to me personally is the near see-through lexan body. It surely improves performance, but should I get this car, I would soon be looking for some nice hard body for it. But I am not seeing it is a must have.
been waiting for 10th scale from fms , looks like a win to me , black and silver would match my real k5 , hopefully clear body available soon
The clipless is super easy once you get used to it. I love it.
Oh man, I don’t know if I can. I lost count how many times I took it off and cursed each time. Other than that, FMS built a super capable rig.
@@rcdriver always do the front first. Truck sitting flat, palms up, middle fingers on the tabs, thumbs on the headlight, push up with thumbs as squeezing tabs with middle fingers.
Rear is the same (thumbs on the tailgate). But a little harder because of the magnets. Worst case use your ring fingers to help push up on the posts.
I have the fmc k10 and the scx24 67 k10 now I want this and already have several 1/10 scale redcats and axiels my apartment is getting packed 😂😂😂😂
Cool!❤🎉
I like it’s..!❤️
Looks so sick....sry trx4 sport your getting replaced 😂😂😂
I'm buying one
new jeep! and new chevy! woohoo!
Great review thanks. Would love to get one to play out in the snow, mud and rocks. Where can I get one of these in Canada. Cheers!
Links in the description for you. Thanks for watching!
I like it! Wonder if someone would send me one😁. $399 really that’s crazy, I’d pay 299.
I like the cross way better!
Electronics gremlins in my Cross was an issue for me.
My tranz kept jumping out of gear!
Amazing features for the price. Now they just need the pickup style with all the same features and it's a no brainer for me.
I’m guessing we’ll see it soon.
Excellent review as always but surprised you didn't mention the magnetic connection for the lights.
6:53
@@rcdriver my bad 😉👍
@@miguelcandelaria460All good! I do miss things. I already spotted a few in this video after watching it the 10th time. 😆
An amazing value truck & a beautiful place to drive! Is that Bulls Bridge used in a horror or thriller film? It looks familiar!
Yup, It’s a pretty well known spot. It might have been.
Great video, where is that?
I wouldnt want to scratch mine... lol
"Gang signs" lmao
What state are you in? Nice scenery.
What battery and charger did you use with this RC?
Hey my cable is in front of the shock on the drivers side there just to let you know
Does anyone know a good servo that will work with it? I've got 3 servos that won't fit because of the axel being bulky
Whats with the small driver and passenger side windows? There's always something off with these FMS RCs
Chop top. 😆
Can u help me . Why is my k5 only steering to one side . There is no noise of motor trying to steer when i turn to the side that it wont torn to . Whem i turm to the side it dose turn it stays turned
You should do a video comparing it to trx4 tht be interesting
Where is that crawl spot I live in Chester NY
I feel like this is the trx4 we have at home
At first glance.
Looking to buy my first crawler. Would you recommend this or the trx4 sport?
For a first crawler? Hmm This probably has too much going on feature/ functionality-wise for a first. A simpler Sport may be better.
Hi heard back from them pretty quick, they would send me a return label, and replace it, I told them no I am going to keep it told them what I ordered and I’ll just keep it
A legit Traxxas competitor for $100 less? I'm sold.
Competition is heating up in the segment! Traxxas is still leading though with LHS support.
It doesn't go over rocks and such any better than anything else, but a nice truck anyway.
It works way better than the previous FMS offerings and some others. But yeah the truck space is getting competitive and close in capability. Good release for the brand.
🙄No fender wells and mud guards..😮💨It's so close!😆
They give you inner fender liners in the box. I didn’t get to install them because I had to schedule to try and hold to. 😆
@@rcdriver Thanks!😃 I didn't notice..😆Until Now!😄👍👍👍
Traxxas be like "Yea? Well......we have one that's BLUE now, $600 please"
It does make you wonder how other manufacturers get away with charging extortionate prices for less functionality. All greed I suppose. Looks like a cool rig and I’m sure ppl will make it look the part with some tasteful accessories.
It should have come with the good body ABS plastic like most of their RC truck have. Lexan is a cheap way of getting out of it. Also, the dissent speed controller for that kinda money.
To FMS selling point is the Plastic realistic bodies. That's the reason I buy FMS products.
Yeah we lost some of that crispy goodness of the hardbody on this release. It’s ok, but not what we’ve become accustomed to from them.
ABS ist better for more Details,but lexan Bodys are way better for extreme crawling Angles cause of much lower center of gravity. 😊
And interiors 😊
😂😂throw up some gang signs!
It’s true. Watch out if you’re changing packs in the wrong neighborhood. 😂
Nice Review like always from you. But this Bodyclipsystem isnt more or less then the Traxxas Clipless in the Way of getting ure Fingers Dirty ^^ But i think its better then the Axial System. There u have to Dig in the Dirt to get the Pins out under the Body^^ Thanks for making this Video and showing this Car.
It’s not so much about getting your fingers dirty. It’s just really awkward way to get the body off. You have to push in on a tab while pushing up on the posts while pushing down on the bumper all at the same time for both sides. And if one side moves more than the other, the posts wedge themselves in place. Then you have to push the body down and start all over. Then there’s the potential of dirt getting in there and hanging things up more like we saw on the Arrma Mojave 4S. I certainly appreciate they went their own route with body mounting, but I think it needed more fine tuning.
@@rcdriverSounds Painful and awefull, mabey a Steel Spring can help, to push it up when u release the Pins. But wont be a Solution for Pushing down. Can u cut the Pins so that there is only one place where the can wedge themselves?!
*prefer the hard plastic body*
Can you please review some RC Helicopters I think they would look awesome on your channel 👍💯✈️🚁🚚
Quietly pleased I thought it was a 1/18 or 24.. didn't even know it was 1/10 scale 😮😅😆
Oh man. I can sorta fly. Does that count? 🤣
I would think if GM gives out a licsense to do one of their vehicles they would want it to be a bit more accurate in detail. Spend the extra money and buy a TRX4.
Traxxas’ lexan body game is strong. This rig does have a few extra fiddly features that may interest some though.
i wished the body looked alittle better
Fms knows what traxxas, rc4wd, and every other company knows......square body Chevys sell.
Proline tries to release other variants.....like the ram charger.
(They should have tried a more budget friendly shortbed truck version and it would have sold better)
The ford trucks definitely have their following as well......but its not quite like the c/k trucks.
Thanks for the review
Thought I was watching a mark santa Maria video at first
Nah, i’ve done them before. But I did watch Off The Ranch right before which he does those intros and thought it would be fun for this.
You just need an old square body Chevy to take you to your crawl spot
I do need a 1:1 long term project. 🤔 lol 😂
