LEXAN body, not hard body. My mistake! Timestamps First impressions and key features: 0:37 Demonstrations: 5:40 Crawling montage: 7:27 Driving impressions: 9:36 Final thoughts: 16:21
I'm curious, does anyone else want to see a side by side FCX10 Blazer vs TRX4 Blazer video, of is it just me? I think it would be cool seeing the two of them in a direct comparison. What little differences in the body that can be found, differences in performance, weight distribution... Who else wants to see something like this?
I would love to see it too…especially since everyone seems to be already comparing them…it’s cheaper yes…it has dig function…trx4 has locking diffs and 2 speed already…I have a trx4 blazer(black)for couple years now all stock electronics..put wheels and tires and brass diff cover in front…no issues. But if I break something I can most likely go to a local hobby shop and get what I need to fix it and be back riding within a day…Something on this thing breaks and your not driving it for at least a week while waiting on parts. I have an old version 1/18 fms lc80 that’s on its third gearbox assembly. Also have the new FCX18 lc80 that’s much better than the old one but I’m not sure I agree with all the TH-camrs that say it’s better than trx4m..at least as far as crawling over obstacles and such. Sorry for the long answer but yes I want to see it too
So 2 months later I have replaced 1 micro server (rear diff) and 1 locking diff lever. I then promptly installed the fms diff protector covers. This is my fav truck and yes I bought it due to the extra options fairrc offered (wheels/tires/interior) but also due to the feature list which was awesum.
All those features at a great price it’ll fit in well with my other 1:10 scale crawlers. Looked like it was chilly out more storms are on the way in Cali.
2s is plenty for a crawler. Bashers and races still commonly use 3s at that scale. If you want to race trails then sure 3s. But you can slip more on 3s when crawling as it punches harder or doesn’t react at lower trigger pulls.
that terrain and course out there is amazing. i'm in nor-cal and its so empty out here. best place is out in the desert in so-cal where they run both full size and rc size rigs. But where do you see this fit? it seems too expensive for kids, and too many gimmicks for rock crawlers. slotting it between the ascent and vanquish in terms of price, is all what it does actually useful or just the fully locked diffs vs unlocked - a smasher vs a lc from fms.
Awesome!! But I wish it had ahard shell body with functional doors like the toyota fj40 by fms so we can add a 6in driver figure inside with interior 😢😢
Nice video. I like to install an engine simulator on my fms fcx10 k5, but I could not find out the throttle line. Could you help me with that? Thanks a lot.
It would be tricky to mount. You would need to make some sort of mount unless another scx10 or trx4 bumper would fit. The radio has enough channels to run the winch
It usually shows on the specs on websites. This can run on 2s or 3s full size batteries with XT60 connectors. I have a 2s 5200mah lipo waiting for mine and should fit perfect
No, i won't buy it. I said i won't. My hand, please, keep the mouse away from this check out button ! Must breathe slowly now, and try to think of something else. For example... of the new FMS Chevy K10 1/18. 😋 Help ! Have to escape this RC hell.😄
It looks really nice. They definitely took some inspiration from the Trx4 and SCX10iii. I guess the only thing I would worry about is durability. That's a ton of features that could potentially go south. I for sure love the radio it comes with. Looking forward to seeing some mods and different wheel and tire combos. 👍🏼
Hello, I own a TRX4M and I would like to change the electronics. I have the Furitek avatar radio system but is it better to install the tegu 24 pro esc or pyton rxf 40A/70A?
Looks awesome 11 channel is over the top.2 tone silver n black would be great if they had new colors.matalic blue and white would pop too.looks the won't need much metal wheels and wide tires
LEXAN body, not hard body. My mistake!

look at 2fmrc
I remember when people ragged about the trx4 having remote locking diffs and wanted simplicity. Times have changed.
1:18 Yeah looks are top of the mark. The transmitter looks pretty amazing 11channels WOW. Thanks for sharing. 🎊🥳
You should do a followup on the FCX10; what do you like, what do you dislike, what has been broken, what has been upgraded

your son is gold, next review is his 😄
🤣 he’s ready!
Wow, 2 videos in 1 day. Lol
While I have the Trx4m Chevy k10, this does look pretty good, will admit.
Yeah RC heaven for sure, what a awesome spot. Would love to do a little crawling here love trail riding
I'm new to RC cars. What would be the best battery (size) to purchase for this rig?
A 3s with a xt60 connector
i'd recommend to go w 2s nimh's ,its more than enough for all crawlers, i am switching from lipos to 2s nimh after years, but its only my opinion😂
2s is plenty for a crawler. Bashers and races still commonly use 3s at that scale.

Great!! But I wish it had a hard body shell with functional doors and interior to add a 6in or 7in action as driver😢😮
I agree. It looks nice and performs well. My first choice would be my Mashigan or the FJ40 for the trials regardless.
Looks like a trx4 with dig function its nice though and definitely not a hardbody thats a sturdy lexan shell on that unit. Great review
Yes Lexan, my mistake!
Great Video! The truck looks so good and it's packed with features. Just one question, would you take this over a TRX4 Defender or SCX Gladiator?
I would not take it over a gladiator because I’m a gladiator fanatic, but I would take it over the TRX4.
@@CapeCrawlerswhy is that ?
Awesome!! But I wish it had ahard shell body with functional doors like the toyota fj40 by fms so we can add a 6in driver figure inside with interior 😢😢
i wonder why the rollbar wasnt scale?
great vid. subscribed. I was worried about the micro servos, i may just leave them locked. Ordered one today
Nice video. I like to install an engine simulator on my fms fcx10 k5, but I could not find out the throttle line. Could you help me with that? Thanks a lot.
It’s March 6th just ordered one website said low stock order now for first batch so if your thinking about it better hurry.
What a beauty !!!!! 😮
if they come out with an 80 series longer wheelbase im getting looks sweet !
your in luck hahhaha
@@good-sl4ly really ?
As usual fms ❤❤
is this kit has an overdrive?
Is it really worth 399 though?
I think so. It’s like a trx4 with dig and a licensed body for ~$100 less money
@@CapeCrawlers what about longevity and durability because of TRX is almost bulletproof
Can anyone who has one of these tell me the width measurement of the roof of the cab (from driver’s side to passenger side)?
i like it so much i ordered one...
I'm buying one
Very impressive for the price 😊
FMS plzzz lc80 1/10
I want to order this for the the free stuff included but I really want this in any form of Toyota.
Great video. Can you put on it a winch?
It would be tricky to mount. You would need to make some sort of mount unless another scx10 or trx4 bumper would fit. The radio has enough channels to run the winch
colt seaver's rc
I’m new to these newer crawlers, how do I know what battery to get for this? Type and connection needed?
It usually shows on the specs on websites. This can run on 2s or 3s full size batteries with XT60 connectors. I have a 2s 5200mah lipo waiting for mine and should fit perfect
Can you put beadlock wheels on?
Yep, most 1.9 wheels will fit it
So how would you replace the motor & esc with all those channels?
Grab a radio/rx combo that has the extra channels. The Radiomaster MT12 is a good one and fairly priced.
so cool
He messed with
This is making me really reconsider a 4x the cost decked out VRD carbon build.
Great video I want one lol
Beadlocks?
No beadlocks out of the box
@@CapeCrawlers Thank You

Man that chassis looks like a TRX4 clone
Why?
No, i won't buy it. I said i won't. My hand, please, keep the mouse away from this check out button ! Must breathe slowly now, and try to think of something else. For example... of the new FMS Chevy K10 1/18. 😋

Fully licensed hardbody? Pretty flimsy for a hardbody.
Lexan - my mistake!
first dislike lol
Cool

Every time I try to access the Injora links or go directly to the site, it never loads. Any ideas? I'm in the USA.
Yeah awesome I just ordered the black blazer
How do the light hook up? Does it look like aftermarket ESCs and motors will work with them? Sometimes the turn signals and reverse lights act odd
Hello, I own a TRX4M and I would like to change the electronics. I have the Furitek avatar radio system but is it better to install the tegu 24 pro esc or pyton rxf 40A/70A?
You should mic up your little dude, he'd make such a great commentator while trailing!
Very helpfully review and cool running video. One Question: what accu would you recommend?
regards
Hi Adam, Do the servo wires come with that horrible FMS Servo connector? Or is it regular servo connector all around?
Regular connections all around!
Trx4 but cheaper. And better.
waterproof?
@@B.D.TRX4 they say no but it is. Just to cover their rear end
Better? lol
@@voodoostrokerit seems more functional and better out of the box.
@@Fly2kill1 hopefully it’s a good reliable machine for those who get it

Ordered while out. Came home and seen your video.
Any updates to this sweet rig??!!
Thats Lexan, not a hard body. Where’s the interior?
Yes that’s my mistake. Also wish it had the interior
Needs FORDS!
👍👍😎😎
Looks awesome 11 channel is over the top.2 tone silver n black would be great if they had new colors.matalic blue and white would pop too.looks the won't need much metal wheels and wide tires
Little mans more locked in then the diff and thats saying something. Nice family vibes, great channel
If it had a different body and didn't have unlocking/locking diffs. I would totally pick one up
Definitely got it for free this guy wouldn't spend a dime on anything other than the brands that lack innovation. And don't care about the customers.
Oh shut up.
