The FMS Max Smasher was a huge success for FMS. The V2 has a few changes, but this little Mini RC Monster Truck is awesome. Did Traxxas ask FMS to remove the Max from Max Smasher?

Loyal and Regular viewers.... and others.... I'm just trying to make the video a bit fun. Please don't take me too seriously. But do take me seriously if I decided to change my Name to 'Lord Max of Traxxasville'
Please Please change your Channel Name to Lord Max of Traxxasville. That would definitely bring in the subs.
Name change there Phil for sure 🤣
And fun I am having with it my friend
LOL
😂😂
The Traxxas running down the aisle screaming foul play is 100% correct! 😂 I haven't laughed like that in a while.
Honestly, dude I fkn love your humour! Traxxas running down the hall of the church like a crying baby to fkn much 🤣
hahaha.... I laughed so hard at that
Very likely. It would be a classic Traxxas move.
Anyway, the FMS seems like a really nice little truck!
It’s such a nice looking truck
@@TomleyRC worth getting instead of the fms 1/12ths?
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for showing and calling out the ESC and transmitter changes. Bought this for Christmas for my little dude and I opened it tonight before wrapping to put some upgrades on and when I went to test...DISASTER! the transmitter and esc would not bind together and no one has the V2 R3A reciever before christmas. saw this video and BAM got the R4A1 reciever and transmitter expedited so fingers crossed there's hope my little dude will have a fully functional monster truck and an upgrade reciever transmitter to boot!!
You made me worry for Max.😂😂
That's one great truck. I've already got V1 revisited, and now I need v2.
Thanks for sharing
FMS has been pumping vehicles out like mad. Appreciate the coverage as they seem hit or slightly miss.
Traxxas strike again!.. is nobody safe? I got the revised V1 at Christmas and was worried about the electronics but mastered the nose wheelies fairly easily. It's more interesting when it's a challenge! Nice review Phil 👌
I think it's the other way around isn't it? Copying tamiya with the box, kyosho with the body all from a company that had to very quickly withdraw from sale their unlicensed jeep. Not sure the problem lies where you think it does to be honest
Just got one of these for me and my boys. It's perfect. They are 9-5 and first gear is helping them learn how to drive perfectly. They love that the lights turn on and off also
Hey Phil just wanted to say the crawler track looks sick, your attention to detail is quality
Thanks dude
I'm trying to spread the word about the speed motors FairRC and FMS offer for these; they may not work depending on the ESC and/or battery setup you have. I spent hours and a lot of money trying to get it to stop cutting out at full throttle but ended up just junking everything and going Furitek
Buy cheap, buy twice
love the MAX bit at the start
Haha
I would love to have this in my micro collection. Fantastic video as always.💜🧡
I really really wanted one , the bushings are just a hard pill to swallow
It’s so stupid to switch from bearings to bushings, like WTF
A Trashxxas TRX 4m costs 150$ and doesn't have a single bearing and this thing will out-crawl it 100%
I got lucky and just got a white original. I'm ordering a blue one.glad to hear you can fwd and rev. Thanks for the overview.
Nice! And these ones have the same functions now as the original, just missing a few bearings
Good video Tomley! Very nice mix of info, car footage, fun and relevant finger pointing. All hail Lord Max of Traxxasville.
love those stunt monster truck no matter the size
FMS just keeps on killing it ! Enjoy your day today .
I wonder if you will still be able to get all the parts and bearings for the "MAX" version now it has been changed or will you only be able to get the parts that only have bushings instead for them.
Just got mine via FedEx today. Going to unbox that puppy tomorrow!👍🏻 Looks fun!
I do like these trucks, they seem pretty good. Yeah situation normal for Traxxas I think.
'Smash or pass' would have been a fun alternative title for this Smasher v2 video!
That little meme of Traxxas is spot on
I’ve had the fcx24 for a month or so and I absolutely love it especially after I figured out the esc controls, got some much needed treal brass portal weights because the front end flips backwards pretty easily when climbing.
Love the box looks like Tamiya vintage box’s I would see in toys r us back in the 80’s
i like the name you have now, i wish i could get back into this hobby again. I loved the scale and crawler scene, i even joined a club but one night/day, i mean it just takes 1 day or night, someone stole every rig i had some that were taken were my favorite and one that was taken a club member helped me buy it cause i was short on funds. I watch Kevin and others and im so jealous cause i know i'll never be able to get my dream rigs ever again
Love your calm and funny way to make these videos.
The same happened to me with the FCX24 PoweWagon: it arrived with cheaper remote & esc.
One question remains: exactly how can one switch of the brake function?
Such a cool little truck! Although 1/24 scale those tires help it conquer ground meant for bigger trucks! Thanks for the video!
The biggest issue I have with these FMS smasher trucks is the fact they put USA-1 logos on a Ford body..USA-1 is and always has been a Chevy.. I'm sure that traxxas had something to do with the Max leaving but I mean FMS only used 1 X so Idk
I do miss the truck battery status light on the transmitter. And it was nice to be able to glance at your settings on the pots and dip switches. But digital/electronic is more precise (if you can remember where you set them). And it has a very nice low battery warning which enables you to bring it in (stop and go) rather than just stop. But the first thing that they should have changed is the IMPOSSIBLE body clips. I had to unscrew the back end to get the battery out. And once the battery was out, I will not remove the body very often. I just moved the battery to the truck bed, with a Molex to JST extension cable...
They also have a 1.5 release. Thats has servo saver. It also has another revision of the controller. It has a foam wheel, but no setting for forward/reverse. Not sure about the bearings.
That's an awesome little truck indeed, Phil! 😃
Thanks for the review!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks dude. Appreciate it
Please make the screaming traxxas kid sequence as an gif 🙏🤩 it is sooo realistic for the fan boys 🤪 cheers to you Phil 🍻
Haha… I laughed so much after doing that clip 😂😂
You mean whaaaaxxas lol
Love your review vids man
Just opened my v2 up. Is there a neutral position? I find when I hit Channel 3 I get slow speed then flick the button to position 2 on channel 3 neutral then third position high speed ?
I like the coffee bean mud, great idea🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘
Yes… it seems to have worked well 👌
The first one minute 23 seconds contain the most truthful comment made on any Contemporary RC Video, hilariously put! 😂 Brilliant!
Hahaha
It's pretty pathetic how threatened Traxxas are by other RC manufacturers...
Two reasons I'll never buy a brand new Traxxas..
Number 1 = Their over litigious nature.
And..
Number C = Their ridiculous prices.!
Cheers for the video Phil, I'm definitely going to pick one of these up.. Eventually.. 😉
Cheers Alan. Traxxas are certainly a special bunch
The best trucks always cost the most! 🤙🏼 Gotta pay to play
@@RCdeadpeople definitely. Someone's got to pay all those lawyers... 😂
I love the smasher, axial needs to come out with there own version of the smasher now
Great video, love this little truck, but how do you change to forward/reverse???? on a v2
Cool little truck good video as usual cheers mate
Cheers mate
Someday, I'll grab a couple of these for my boys. They look like a ton of fun!
They are really cool 👌
Awesome bit of kit, glad they brought back the features of the release version with the v2.
It performs really well.
I love my v1 release version.
Very cool little truck!
cool looking truck the body is nice
Haha, that church clip of Traxxas!!
haha, loved doing that clip
I've asked fms-2 put out metal lockers optional instead of those differentials
@Main_TomleyRC HI there. I'm not good with computer tech or phones.
So, if I did win something, I'm really happy, but have no idea how to move forward 😕
Weird I have a v1 with the newer ESc’s, still says max. No dip switches. So I pulled the ESc’s out of my fcx24 and swapped them, now it’s a proper monster truck
Nice little truck that 👍
My Smasher V2 arrives later today. For those that are interested in being able to convert to crawling, is there a recommendation for wheels, weights, and tires? It's hard for me to tell which tire height would be best, as well as which tires fit what wheels. I'm fairly new to the hobby, but would love to see a video like this.
i think most 1 inch tires and wheels are all pretty similar there will be slight variations but injora on amazon has been putting out some nice looking upgrades for scx24/fcx24 bodys which i belive is what this monster truck chassis is on
@@me-rn7jx very good. I wondered if one inch was the wheel width or height. Didn't know if anyone has offset recommendations. I'd love to see an "essentials of crawling" for this platform.
@@realmayo9984 if you search for fcx24 power wagon mods you should find the info you want. Same platform, different body and wheels
Yeah I watched that video smash it around, I got the white and the blue one waiting on another blue one now the V2 really got excited when I seen the new one The silver eagle I am waiting on now it’s been shipped
The Smasher is a pretty cool monster truck, but I think it would be even cooler if it had straight axles just like a real monster truck
I’ve seen people do a ‘reverse portal’ mod… gives it a nice low stance
Too bad Tyco is no more they could sue Traxxas for using the name "Bandit"
Maybe you'd see 50% drag brake, on a more gentle slope?
I guess that as Scalextric cars are now around the £70 mark, these don’t seem so expensive after all!
I think your spot on!
Have they gone after Pepsi yet 🤔 🤣🤣
Or FCA? The Ram TRX is literally a truck with "TRX" decals on it... It's almost like they're just punk bullies who are afraid of the dudes on the football team.
Cool video, thanks 😊 do you still have your landrover Discovery 1/10 ?
Waiting for the mail to bring mine today!
Enjoy it dude
It would be cool if instead of making it worse, they made it better with something like oil shocks or waterproof electronics, but the servo saver was a nice touch.
I know I'm super late to the video but does everyone know about the forward/reverse setting on those v2 fms controllers by now? It is there, just a bit fiddly.
Press REV twice, so LED blinks, then BIND button once, it should switch to forward/reverse, then just REV twice again to exit program mode.
Hope this helps someone!
Its hard to say, normally traxxas only goes after companies that use "maxx" with 2 x but i could see them getting fms to not use max
They’ve been known to for for ‘Max’ as well. Google Traxxas LP Vs…. It shows a lot of court cases
nice looking little MT, if Trax did indeed stamp the feet and do the hinted thing it just shows what they are like and this is the sole reason i wont buy trax brand rc stuff
Yes… and like I said, that’s my thoughts… but I may be wrong
I think he's Beyond the Thunderdome
That was my thinking, I don't think they have successfully sued anybody for a few years, Maclan was the last one I think not counting the HBO Max joke
They don't need to successfully sue anyone. Their goal is to bankrupt competitors with frivolous lawsuits. They don't need to even be winnable if the victim immediately surrenders, that's why it's problematic. Everyone else in the space has to walk on eggshells to avoid Traxxas' patent trolling landmine. That's the whole
problem. They are abusing the legal
system to maintain a faux monopoly on selling RC cars to stupid people.
@@mikescherrer4923 except Horizon Hobby these days. I think there was some changes in the Texas patent court where all their lawsuits seem to be done from. I don't think it's as easy for them but as you say they can just threaten to do so. The HBO Max lawsuit smacked of a bit of desperation though 😂
@@Luke-en2tk I would absolutely love it if FCA sued them over the TRX trademark.
Great video! Smash!
Cheers mate 😎🤘
The whole time I'm like .. HELLO.. HELLO.. TOMLEY CAN YOU HEAR ME BRO
😅
also,not a big difference,but you get lunar scrambler tires instead of max smasher technology ones
Great video buddy 😁👍 I can't wait to do a monster jam ariana got the field sorted now 😊🙋♂️
That’ll be awesome 👌
Absolutely beautiful little RCs love them ! As mentioned I believe you are correct never heard of a company claiming a mane like them so no one else is allowed to use the name Max 😔 this is why I never bought a #@!*# and never will sod them .
Only one one but that was gifted by a good friend
This thing dose look awesome lot of fun and Phil if it needs a new home always keep me in ya thoughts haha
Already gone I’m afraid dude 👍
@@TomleyRC nooooooooo😫haha I'm sure it went to a great home so that's all good 😊👍
My dog was looking around everywhere at the start of this video 😅🤣🤣.
Hahaha
@@TomleyRC I wonder if I added an extra X at the end of my dogs name, they would tell me to change his name 🤔😂😂😂.
My V2 didn't come with that battery strap. Where are the bushing at? Do you like the V1 or V2 more?
Those courses in what looked like an office, that'd be me.....have a corporate board room with a crawler course set up on the side "what's that"?
Give it a shot
Next thing you know billionaires playing with toy trucks lol......"company with the shortest time gets the contract" hahahha
Haha.. it’s Sailing Club. They have a really good cafe downstairs, and the best bit is they sell proper coffee 👌
@@TomleyRC Pretty posh sailing club! A buddy belonged to one on Lake Ontario and the clubhouse sure didn't look like that....
Can I order this in CANADA and how much?
Oo I love this thing how can you get
Traxxis better make a mini max now
Mantap👍😘🥳☺️
#1#LOVE THIS ONE#LOVE IT
We may never know where Max ever went.
How about the remo hobby smaxx
nice i just got my first RC a traxxas 4tecn 2
Hey Phil like the truck youre channel is amazing i restoring a orginal Traxxas emaxx have you ever messes with one
No, he is promoting only Chinese rc
I badly wanna participate in the bandit giveaway and i tried a lot of times and i couldn't🙂 Is there gonna be any other giveaways that i could participate in?
This MAX smasher is the only mini crawler I have any interest in.
I wish my big rock had 25% power mode
dude my name is Max. i got it for the max. where wildly disappointed now...
Makes me think of the Arrma Fazon again, When is Formula One going back to having the coil-overs mounted in the suspension arms? 🙄
MAXimum attack.
MAXimum value.
MAXimum volume.
MAXimum fun.
I see why Traxxas wants to attack this product.
Hey mate, will you do a review for UDIRC UD1002, thanks
Those are so cool . Can't get one right now . Emailed fms trying to get one . Said not avaliable
They are showing in stock 🤷🏼♂️
@Tomley RC I'll go back and look . It was about a week ago since I talked to them . I had a problem with a fms plane and just ask during that conversation. They are great to work with.
They contacted me and sent me one to make some videos of as well, but there really isn't many differences from the first one to talk about 😅
I think the whole of the RC communities shitzu Traxxas 4 using the word Max stealing a word from the English language. Not to mention the fear of even using the word Max now
Can make a review for UDIRC ud1002 rc thank you in advance
We are a fan here in the Philippines
I saw a video yesterday that said they’re going to be doing a couple officially licensed 80’s monster truck clones in the near future. Dunno if there’s any truth to that but he had one in the video
That’ll be awesome
All the way you're looking for Max I have his brother Smasher V2
Of course they did. Still waiting for traxxas to put on its big boy pants and sue Dodge for TRX.
The bushings are a big buzzkill for me , I think every rc hobbyists know that bushings will sand down anything it’s spinning around....
The TRX 4m costs more and has full bushings.
I don't doubt it they went after HBO max
You're gonna have to paint Kev a Game Over replica...
😎
