Best video I have seen so far, I love the fact you take them apart to see the amount grease or lack of it on some cases. You also go into a bit more detail like mentioning the beefed up centre shaft which I hadn't seen or read about anywhere
My thoughts exactly... I'm a ford guy but then again I love all older model trucks especial square body trucks I think they are were great looking trucks... dont make stuff like they use to sadly
Awesome video dude this is the first one I've seen where someone actually took it off-roading you know most people just make their cardboard jumps and drive it around a room a couple laps and that's all you get.
I don’t like small rc. I prefer 1/8 and larger, but FMS is killing it. They’re probably the best budget RC on the market. They used to make a foam edge540 that was 2M wingspan and it’s only $600. They need to re-release that. If you can’t afford losi, traxxas, aarma, etc, then FMS can keep you in the hobby. When I started RC it was paywalled, if you didn’t have $400, you couldn’t play. Now you can build your own radios for less than $100 and have a whole crew of RC for less than $1000. RC is the best hobby on earth. It keeps me drug free. 12 years clean and sober and I’ve got no intention to break that. Why would I spend $400 at the weed store(it’s legal where I live) when I could buy a tamiya super clod?
The body is a 73-79 dentside ford, the grill is 78-79 with round 73-77 headlights, 78-79 had the rectangular headlights with the single grill, 73-77 had round headlights with a 2 piece split grill in a few different styles.
I can definitely see it as a mud truck with tractor tires from the original. But I can't wrap my head around the portals. Why not upsidedown axles like unimog or Humvees at least. Still a neat little thing
@@rcdriver I think it was more of a strength deal..with so much carrying over from the crawler, plus the added weight of the tires..the portals give some strength at the hubs, and decrease liad on the motor. Imo..a good decision. Plus, those axles on a 24th scale crawler might work really well as well..lots of options open up with the trans, and axles for 24th scale trail trucks too. If they follow up with different gear ratios for the portals as optional parts..lots can be done. Think y'all will find that the portals give a lot of options as a quick change ratio at the wheels for different surfaces. Packed dirt..shorter eatio..sand, taller ratios, etc. Lots of tuneability there if the gears are available without having to mess with the trans. Be interesting to see some crawler builds with those axles.
Just ordered the blue one! The speed motor is out of stock unfortunately but will definitely be adding that once they are available. You should do a video adding the speed motor and heat sink. Seems to really give it more power!
@@DoubleADay unfortunately both are out of stock right now. No biggie, I'll just get one when they are available again. The truck is gonna take about 10 days or so to arrive. They are a hot item.
This is about a purchase from FairRC: Can’t leave a review on FairRC website. Not surprising given recent issues with the company. I’ve purchased over 17 Rochobby/easy RC/ FMS products. Most have been excellent. Purchased 3 of the Fcx24 . At first it was so great. Then one started acting crazy. Then driveshafts popped out. And another won’t go in reverse. Purchased a max smasher. Won’t shift into second or go in reverse. Customer service and quality control has taken a major turn for the worse. After many many emails they sent me a FedEx label for the max smasher. Nothing for the FCX24. Dropped it off at FedEx. FairRC say they didn’t receive and tracking isn’t updating. Took 4 days of asking them if they received to even get a response. FedEx asked why I didn’t come to them earlier and they don’t see it there. So I’m out of luck. And already purchased about $100 in options for it. These are so tempting - but I’m done with this company.
Love this truck. But wait, it's got no back window! All body. Really?! I hope they'd include a window decal. Now I know why it's not a licensed body, it's got no back window. Makes it cheaper for us to purchase but it does nothing for the looks.
✌🏻😎🏴Good for scale driving but needs to be faster. I think there should be new minimum requirements for smaller scale RC’s. They should all be durable, waterproof, all have multiple clear polycarbonate bodies & hard bodies for custom looks & should go at least 30mph. Or is this asking too much?
Ya,it's fun until the next time you use it ,it won't work,so go ahead and run it in water and sand, you can push it after that,plus it needs lots of upgrades,I can buy something better for 99.00 or get a 1/10 for that price,plus all the parts are cheap axles, motor, something funny about the battery , they never talk about it or show you
Junkie , needs to many upgrades,over priced never talk or show anything about the battery,plus portal axles is a problem,plus Amazon only advertising only did it one day and took it off there markets

They’re 100% a 1978 f-150.. they should’ve done the white one a Chevy body since usa-1 is a Chevy, but that’s ok. I still want one of each
Me too they look great people will never understand how different things were when it was just Japanese and American Manufacturing.
My thoughts exactly... I'm a ford guy but then again I love all older model trucks especial square body trucks I think they are were great looking trucks... dont make stuff like they use to sadly
They’re actually bump sides which would be 67-73
Love it 🥰🥳😍🤩🤓🤓🤗🤗
Can't wait to see that bad boy powered up with a brushless combo!!!
Oh yeah! 😎
Definitely more bang for your buck! And more positive response to this than a certain 1/18 release....🤔😉
Awesome video dude this is the first one I've seen where someone actually took it off-roading you know most people just make their cardboard jumps and drive it around a room a couple laps and that's all you get.
Just had to get it dirty! lol
Fantastic looking truck
This thing is amazing with the high speed motor mod. Definitely a must have.
I get mine today plus the hi-speed motor. And Bigfoot stickers
Just ordered blue for my son. That sweet 78/79 Ford body tugs the heartstrings. Can't wait
It’s Bob Chandlers 1979 F-250 BIGFOOT! On a 1974 frame baby!
the 1973/77 Fseries came with round headlights. 1978/79's had square headlights.
Thanks for the content and perspective!
Impressive little machine
Has a great look and cool to see it run anywhere.
Agreed! 😎

Would this model crawl as good or better than their other models?
Definitely not better then others but looked diffs may help
is it water proof
Fun little truck.
Greg, what happened with the Capra release?
Mine will be delivered today can’t wait. Great video.
Enjoy!
These trucks are awesome, I hope to see some other brands also release small scale monster trucks.
I agree!!
Love your videos keep it up
Are the transmission gears plastic ?
I’m waiting on two of them cool, I also ordered the white and the blue one Got to have
They look like little bigfoots 🤟
The body is a 73-79 dentside ford, the grill is 78-79 with round 73-77 headlights, 78-79 had the rectangular headlights with the single grill, 73-77 had round headlights with a 2 piece split grill in a few different styles.
1978 F150 Custom was actually available with round headlights. (I have one in real life and picked it out for that reason!)
Great video. Reminds me of stompers but better.
Very nice
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
all metal gears. sweet deal!
Wonder why they made it in a mat finish,,
Sick trucks bro. I really want the usa one, and it would be so much fun to brushless swap
I live in New Hampshire I'm trying to find out the price and who I can go through to get one
I have a Spektrum 3S smart battery it only reads 2s can The one sale be charged somehow lol
Nice
Hi, would the Power wagon body fit on the smasher chassis?
Thanks
What’s the battery plug called ?
its a early 1978 f250 its none split grill and has round headlights .... 73-77 was split grill , 79 was non split but sqaure lights
I can't get mine to bind have spent hours
Which is the best rock crawler/Water resistant out of the FTX Outback v2 Bronco and the HPI Maverick Scout??
Do you think you can put a 1/18 mamba system on it?
Oil shock action makes for second video Greg. I haven’t seen the difference at least not on this mini. My local rc don’t have them otherwise!. 👍
Plus they make a hopped up motor for them
How would you rate this compared to other 1/24 crawlers like scx24 etc better same worse ? Thanks
We will get one of each.. probably for Christmas 😁
The Blue Shell is a 1974 Ford model!
😂2nd gear, now we're talking 😂
Just drove mine for the first time .
Definitely worthy of a spot in my garage .
Nice!
Mine is still lost in the ether. I ordered it early from AliExpress and it’s slowly moving but it’s not estimated to be here on the 19th 😢
I can definitely see it as a mud truck with tractor tires from the original. But I can't wrap my head around the portals. Why not upsidedown axles like unimog or Humvees at least. Still a neat little thing
Agreed. The portals were odd. But as you stare at the truck overall it “looks” good.
@@rcdriver I think it was more of a strength deal..with so much carrying over from the crawler, plus the added weight of the tires..the portals give some strength at the hubs, and decrease liad on the motor.

78 or 79 f150... Ford changed h3adlights mid 78 to square light's... awesome rigs
1974 F250 Ford,,, Bigfoot one
It looks cool but I have the Traxxas Bigfoot 10 scale I'm upgrading so I feel like that is a kids toy for some reason
Just ordered the blue one! The speed motor is out of stock unfortunately but will definitely be adding that once they are available. You should do a video adding the speed motor and heat sink. Seems to really give it more power!
Did you order from fair rc or fms? The other may have it
@@DoubleADay unfortunately both are out of stock right now. No biggie, I'll just get one when they are available again. The truck is gonna take about 10 days or so to arrive. They are a hot item.
Yessir
Sure trucks going sell out too be nice if the lhs has them
Can these be run on 3S?
No you need a new esc
Looks like a 77-79 Ford f series
I'm getting that.

Yes they are 1978 But they want you to think bigfoot one,, Which is a 1974 F250
Not bad, but an oil shock upgrade be good.
78 ford
You need to put their speed motor in I just don't watch a video it completely transforms It
Cool but needs to be in 1/10 scale
Love this truck.
But wait, it's got no back window! All body. Really?! I hope they'd include a window decal.
Now I know why it's not a licensed body, it's got no back window.
Makes it cheaper for us to purchase but it does nothing for the looks.
1979 Ford trucks
