That high speed run was hilarious!
It's nuts in high gear 😂 I swear it's faster than some of my Tamiya buggies 😄😄😄 Thanks for watching 👍🏼👍🏼
Fantastic buy. Ideal upgrades and very nicely built. Good job!
Thank you very much Gary. I'm really impressed with it. It's got the performance in a micro crawler I've been waiting for. The low speed torque and throttle control is excellent. No need for slo mo editing with this RC.
Very nice FMS, the upgrades come together very nicely.
Thank you very much Paul. I have another new RC that you'll be interested in. I'll email you some photo's 🙂👍🏼
Definitely a very fun little truck! I'm having loads of fun with mine.
Thank you very much Quinn.
The best video about the PowerWagon I saw on youtube, keep on filming!
Thank you very much my friend 😀👍🏼👍🏼
Really tempted by this little guy. Think it looks amazing . Thanks for the very informative vid mate 😊👍
You're welcome Dom. I'm glad you found it helpful. It's a good RC and I'm really impressed with it. But new out of the box it's top heavy because of the hard body and needs the metal upgrades for more low down weight. The brass rings for the stock wheels and metal links are cheap to buy and they help with this.
Great upgraded car. Runs very good👍
Thank you very much my friend.
I love seeing inventive ideas like those wall plugs! 👌👍 These rigs are so much better than the axials, with the proper (none worm-gear) diffs, & portals. Plus the overall appearance. I mean who can not like the look of an old power-wagon!? I’m selling my scx24 and getting one of these! Thanks for sharing 👊👍👌
Thanks for the great comment. My SCX24 Deadbolt was my favourite micro until I got this Power Wagon.
Awesome job truck looks great and definitely preforms
Thank you very much.
Wow what can i say. That's a super looking truck. The previous owner must of looked after it 🤣. Great video showing the capability it's a great performing truck the injora crawlermaster tires are super soft and don't panic about any climb.
Ha ha ha, yeah it definitely came from a good home. Thanks for watching Richard. I'll take good care of it mate.
That was really impressive!
It's such a versatile little truck. I think I'll get one of these when funds allow. I've been looking at all sorts of mini crawlers and this one ticks all the boxes.
Thank you very much for watching and your kind feedback. I think it's one of the best micro crawlers out there at the moment for the money. The low speed control out of the box impressed me the most compared to the other 1/24 rc's I've got. It needs the extra weight low down to help counter balance the hard plastic cab, but most of the upgrades in this video , or similar, are very cheap to buy, and easy to fit.
That was cool. Looks nice.
Thank you very much.
Hey great stuff Derek. Nice video and narration. Looks like a good buy with all the upgrades. High gear all the way for me! Best wishes mate 🙂
Yeah, something for everyone with this little gem Pete 😄 Thanks for watching mate.
Looks awesome buddy seen a cupple of these now nice little truck 😊🙋♂️
Hi Paul. Thanks very much my friend.
Yeah that’s what I really love about mine that second gear it’s out of here super cool
Bit too rapid for me in high gear ! lol
Yeah that was awesome, I love the stock tires and rims, I’ll have to get some of those brass inserts appreciate you sharing this video love my little power wagon I have the red one the Limited addition one red and blue, and I’m waiting on the grim reaper this one’s going to be awesome catch you on the next one
Thank you very much Andrew. The brass wheel weights really help to keep it planted. Definitely worth every penny.
Hi mate, great little beast you have there with lots of lovely metal parts. Those stock tyres worked really well but you could see the difference with the Crawler Master ones. Great video and all the best my friend.
Thank you very much Rob. I do like the look of the red plastic stock wheels and tyres. The heavy brass weights inside help improve their performance, but the metal Injora's and softer tyres were better. It's nice to have the choice and mix things up now and again though.
Nice video, Derek, great to hear you talking about this truck! Love the mods you and the previous owner did. Cool that you managed to get the metal shocks sorted. I was impressed with how well the truck did on the stock tyres, I wasn't expecting it to get up that white rock! Nice one matey, all the best from Mark... :O)
Thanks Mark. I was very lucky to get this with the upgrades already installed, and it's certainly the best micro crawler I've owned.
@@hollyhillrc Just to let you know Derek, I'm now a proud owner of one of these little beauties! :))
Hi there Derek, a great purchase. I’ve just purchased a WPL C54-1-KM and RES V3 system too. Something different to get my teeth into 😊. I’ve seen these FMS Power Wagens on the net, they look good too. Your PowerWagen is seriously modified. Take care and best wishes to you and the family 😎
Good choice John. The Toyota LC80 hard body is excellent. Very scale with good detailing. I bought the body set in 2020 before they were released as a kit and it's still in its box. It's another one of those projects I've never got round to. I would've waited for the kit but it hadn't been announced at the time because the body set was originally made as an alternative option to the Hilux bodies on C14/24 chassis, (which it now comes with as the kit). It's the same body as my RocHobby Katana's, and the FMS version too. I have no experience with the V3 but it has a good reputation. Enjoy your build John, and keep your eyes peeled for a new WPL coming to my channel soon 😃👍🏼
very nice truck my friend with some great upgrades👍 like the red wheels on it 👍 great work
Hi Eric. Many thanks my good friend. I recommend these Power Wagons if you are thinking of buying one.
@@hollyhillrc you know me very well my friend 😉👍👍 i‘m thinking about it …
They are top heavy and front heavy when they are new, but the metal upgrades are very cheap from Ali Express and help to fix this. I bet you can make an excellent rear bed for it too. Should I also suggest weathering ! 😄😄😄👍🏼
@@hollyhillrc thank you for the information, i guess i should go for it 😉👍👍
Thats a very nice little truck Derek. Making me want one 🤨
It would be a worthy addition to your collection Tibs. The metal hop ups are very cheap too.
I will end up with one at some point lol. I am liking that little TRX4 that’s due out too 😕
@@tiborvon From what I've heard that may be a better and cheaper option ? Worth waiting to see the reviews I guess.
I think its, about 180 bloody quid though, but i will want it lol
Good video, so many mods, but it works well for a "little un"
Thank you very much Julian. The hop ups are very cheap and help to address the top heavy issue this RC has out the box.
@@hollyhillrc I have caved in and pre ordered the black K5 Blazer, now to choose some nice bits from Injora
The improvements on this fms are very good and the idea for fixing the rear tipper is excellent, you had to think about it. Both tests are perfect, the speed test is cool but for my part I don't think it is useful on this kind of rc but the slow speed is really on top.
Je suis d'accord et je n'utiliserai à nouveau le top gear que si je ne gagne pas le Concours d'Elégance et que je dois voler le trophée et m'enfuir rapidement ! 😂😂😂😂
@@hollyhillrc Excellente réponse 😂😂😂
High speed for trailing and walking outside so it is useful
Hello, Derek - what a nice, clear explanation of the mods carried out both by the previous owner and then by you.
As rawl plugs are made of that sort of waxy plastic, I'm astonished that he was able to glue them so firmly to the underside of his excellent home-made rear bed.
I just don't understand the business model that makes it seem a good idea to basically manufacture high quality oil shocks and then sell them as pogo shocks. It seems like madness! Surely, if they'd gone to the expense of making them oil tight, they should have chucked a bit of oil in there and sold them as oil shocks!
I'm really glad that you did decide to test the original wheels and tyres - I would certainly be leaving those fitted for their lovely scale looks.
And doesn't it shift in high gear?
Hi Del. Thank you for watching and your nice comment. The rawl plugs were hot glued on the bed and one of them did come off recently when I pulled it off the chassis to do some work. I used super glue to fix it back in place and let it dry for 24 hours before I put it back on. Now when I remove the bed I poke the plugs through the holes from underneath with a small driver to slide them out of the chassis so there's less strain on the joint. So far this has worked and the other hot glued plug has stayed in place too. When I got this the plugs were white. I painted them with a brush using Tamiya XF-1 flat black acrylic which does come off easily when I remove and replace the bed, so I do have to touch them in occasionally. To be honest Del I wouldn't have got metal shocks if I'd bought this new without hop ups. From what I've seen on UA-cam people who've added the O-rings and oil to the stock plastic ones have said they're smooth and work well, and it's a good improvement. Apparently they don't leak either. Win Win! I would've had no hesitation doing this if the metal ones on mine were just pogo sticks. When I initially pressed down on them I couldn't feel any rubber, just metal on metal, probably because they were practically dry. But I'm glad I decided to clean them and discovered the O-rings, because I think they look better than the stock ones, and they would've ended up in a spares box for eternity. I've bought cheap "hop up metal oil shocks" for my Tamiya buggies in the past and they've had no oil in them so it's not uncommon in my experience. Like you I love the look of the stock wheels and tyres, and I also really like the Injora's. It's good to have a choice and it makes it more interesting for myself and for my videos too. As far as the high gear is concerned it's probably something that I will use if I can't quite get up an incline, but I certainly won't be using it again like I did in this video. That was purely for demonstration purposes! I needed a long lie down and a strong cup of tea after that little moment of high speed madness, hahahahah!
I am really grateful that I could see and hear this great work today. With beauty and wealth of information is completely enchanting.

I truly love your channel. I think that all my respect is yours and I support your channel in all areas. So I wish you good luck and I'm waiting for the next upload. You have my full supportt. With respect and supportt: RF 👍🏻💝🔔✍50
Thank you very much.
It's super smooth against the SCX24 I know that after yesterday's run. Yours does have some very nice upgrades and mine will have a change soon once I get the Jeep finished as that's taking long than it should but that is fun. The high gear is fast but I still found it controllable with that power. I know the new Traxxas is coming but will it be better with less for the price tag as it has no portal axles.
Thanks Mal. I really like this one. It's what I've been waiting for from a micro crawler since I've been buying them.
Yeah very nice Derek. It really is all beefed up for sure. Nice add ons in my opinion. I think if I ever go 24th it would have to be Axial. lol But definitely a great looking rig. She really moves along great in High gear too Wow
Hi Nick. I've heard that some people think the newer SCX24's are better than the Power Wagon, but personally it's the best one I've had so far. I still like my original SCX24 Deadbolt very much, but this is my new favourite micro.
@@hollyhillrc Hmmmm. Interesting. I will certainly keep that in mind. :)
Great run Derek, I think that the Injora wheels/tyre look better though.
Thank you very much David. I like the look of both sets of wheels and tyres on the Power Wagon, but the Injora's perform a bit better .
Excellent video. Mines on pre order, hopefully get it in time for Christmas. Do you have any links to the parts? I've been searching, but to find any of those parts here in the UK seems difficult. I'd love to know where you and your friend buy your fcx24 parts. Now following you, looking forward to more videos👍
Hi. Thank you for watching, and thank you for subscribing too. I get my metal upgrade parts for the Power Wagon from Ali Express in China. It takes a couple of weeks for them to arrive, but they're very cheap to buy, and there's no import tax. You can get stock replacement parts from Wheelspin Models or Modelsport, but unfortunately I don't know anyone in the UK who supplies upgrades for it. This page on Ali Express has a lot of the upgrade parts. www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=fcx24+power+wagon+upgrades&d=y&origin=n&catId=0&spm=a2g0o.productlist.1000002.0&initiative_id=SB_20221209073329 I hope this helps 🙂👍🏼
Do you know where to buy the 3d printed bed?
Hi, thank you very much for watching my video. The bed on this is not 3D printed. It was made by the previous owner with pieces of plastic and glue. You can get 3D printed beds here www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004882339747.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.73.29bf415chlmSi9&algo_pvid=af7aa680-a016-4c08-b8f3-ad1d4c9eb657&algo_exp_id=af7aa680-a016-4c08-b8f3-ad1d4c9eb657-36&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21GBP%2119.60%2119.6%21%21%2124.13%21%21%40211b619a17034064775055924e3279%2112000031261117921%21sea%21UK%211883924248%21&curPageLogUid=trgH62nhEOY6
The photo quality of the truck is just unreal, what camera did you use?
Thank you very much. I used a Google Pixel 4 mobile/cell phone 🙂👍🏼
