So rare to see such a proper low gearing on a small scale crawler. And I love how the wheels are completely under the fenders just like a 1/1 Chevy truck. Definitely gonna have to scoop one of these up
Meu amigo boa noite, ou tarde ou bom dia , já tem muito tempo que você fez este vídeo e só agora estou assistindo neste exato momento eu gostei muito deste caminhonete ela é inferior a irmã dela que é k10 que é de metal algumas coisas por exemplo o chassis e as engrenagens do eixo eu só não sei si a caixa os componentes também são, o motor dela será que é igual a Wpl a c34 rtr que o mesmo é 180 fraco pq são parecido , agora será que tem upigrad para ela troca o de plásticos pelo de metal e os outros componentes você mim avisa que estou sinceramente comprá-lo. 😍😍👀👀👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👊
O WPL é um caminhão melhor para dirigir e é mais resistente com muito mais modificações que você pode comprar. Os carros FMS parecem incríveis, mas não são tão fortes ou capazes.
I just received one of these this weekend. I love it and because I can't leave anything alone, I am already looking to see what I can modify. Looking forward to hopefully seeing what you upgrade next. With the 7mm wheel hexes there are a lot of wheel options.
hahaha... I almost forgot there was to be a big reveal at the end. I predict that in 20 years, collectors will pay BIG money for a truck with the "Glacier" decal still intact. That one will be a rare RC indeed. Anyway, great video as always. Cheers my friend! 👍😊
Hate to say it but a QC stamp does not necessarily equate to a QC process. As a matter of fact these days a QC sticker or stamp on a Chinese product usually coincides with something that has not been quality controlled very well. Not saying it's the case here but it is the case most of the time.
Everybody seems to be going crazy for this pickup truck body. I like the Jeep and Toyota FJ body styles myself. But the pickup truck is the first EazyRC to leave in the interior. I am not a crawler. If anyone is interested, the EazyRC electronics and motor can take a 3S lipo for trail running (OK, maybe trail trotting...). I do not know whether the RocHobby and FMS electronics can take 3S. I'm going to experiment with them this week; wish me luck...
@@AMPROEngineering I do not think the mass is great enough to break the plastic. More likely, I am wearing out the motor faster. But EazyRC motors and PC boards are now available at Amain. RocHobby and FMS have the same motor, but unfortunately their PC boards do not appear to be available thru Amain or Amazon. So that is a chance that I will have to take. I only use a 450mAh 3S lipo (mounted in the interior). So it does not increase the mass like a larger battery would. That battery gives me over an hour of full throttle runtime.
I just got mine...initial impressions remind me of trying to crawl a CC01 tamiya. The steering throw is to short and sloppy, the low end throttle not sensitive enough, approach and departure angles very limited due to the hard body and a bouncy suspension. Honestly though, the only thing that bugs me is the lack of low speed throttle sensitivity. The SCX24's used to suffer from the same thing, but the revised ESC/radios that ship with the newer models fixed that. I was kind of hoping that maybe the truck could be geared down from stock to compensate, but the stock wheel speed is already as low as you'd want it to be. That said, I can't complain for a $120 RTR. It maybe a 1/18 scale, but it shares construction/electronics setup style with the 24th scale crawlers. A neat trail truck, more than a rock crawler.
Oh, for sure. This is a trail truck and not a crawler. I have had mine trudge paths on places I could not believe it would go and as long as you drive it as such, its a champ. I must have the revised electronics as mine seems to behave pretty well.
I’m almost positive FMS makes that too that’s just under a sister company “EasyRC” , Because my glacier came with a charger that said FMS on it almost identical to the charger that came with my FMS atlas 6x6
I've been looking at the FMS K-10 but at $260.00, I can't justify spending that much on a 1/18th scale truck. This seems to be more in line with my price point for what it is.
Boa noite, ou tarde , ou dia , que pena um caminhonete tão bonita se fosse fazer uma adaptação eu que não ia da muito certo o compartimento do motor é muito apertado e o chassis é de plástico a da glacier a k10 é de metal mas não pega uma de 2 velocidade da Wpl. 😳😓👀👀👍👏👏👏👏👊
looks really good... I just wish it had just a LITTLE bit wider track... the wheels sit just about 3mm too far in... the size is correct, but they should be flush or stick out JUUUUUST a little if the tires are gonna be that chunky... if the tires were skinnies then it's ok for them to be that far under
I am doing that for the RC4WD Blazer at the moment. The problem is the hood. The hood changed so the later grill wont fit the hood bulge. I am trying to see how to address that.
Have you had any issues with the remote controller? I just bought this one and used it once and it was fine and now the controller just beeps when I turn it on and nothing works. Any ideas what it could be?
No i have not. I have heard that the binding can somehow unbind. I would re-bind the radio and receiver. I have not done this but there has to be a tutorial.
I just got this little truck and really like it alot. Brand new to the RC world and this is my first vehicle. Was wondering if you happen to know where I could get an extra battery so I can keep going for longer then just the 45 minutesish
Niiiiiiiiiiice wee trail truck, unboxing and review, i appreciate that you put the Amazon UK 🇬🇧 links in the description, really saves me a lot of time trying to find it. I like how it looks and drives, are the tyres licensed?. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧🚙
I love mine. Had it for a few months now. Gonna put some injora wagon wheels on it and do some scale details like chrome the trim on the sides, and aluminum paint on the grill.. these are great mini crawler/trail trucks
I got one. Very well made. I actually had a full size 1976 Canadian Military 5/4 ton. I have pictures of it and want to replicate camo paint scheme and 3d print parts such as bush guard etc.
I have so far my new one and YES they look great. I just need to find new parts like the shafts. Different shocks blue would be good. I appreciate your video. Thank you! New Subscribed
Its too short. I thought the same thing, haha! I didnt realize how small this was until I parked next to a lunchie. The wheel track is super narrow too. WPL's are a no brainer for a lunchie conversion.
I will have them posted soon! They center cap is not ideal and they are soo small that they need polyjet or resin prints, neither of which as strong. Ill have a video on them soon.
@@miguelcandelaria460 Yes, they are all complete but I cannot release anything until the video is done. Without that, people tend to assemble things wrong and then yell at me.
@@AMPROEngineering Do you think upgrading and waterproofing are possible in the 1/18 platform? I prefer the look of this than the FMS. IMO this is the workhorse / backcountry chores and the FMS is the status symbol of an American Truck.
Personally I prefer the blacked-out bumpers, grille and wheels on this more affordable version... I can see some AMPRO printed door cards and a detailed engine bay cover for this! (...then let me rust it for you when you're finished ;o)

Exactly! They are usually way too fast.
Awesome! Someone needs to do a Fall Guy truck with this model.
I am sure we will see that!
Definitely

Yeah there are! The issue is wheel offset given how narrow the stock track is.
Outra coisa, será que dá para adaptar um motor pouco potente um 370 ou um 260. O você acha.
Não, isso pode mexer com a eletrônica.

Very true...very true. Hell, in my experience even a UL sticker can be a lie...but given how good these are I think we are on point here.

Man what a sweet little truck. It would be rad if they offered a 70s ford and dodge body too.
Yeah it would! Honestly, id like to see something that hasnt been done like a Ranger or Nissan 720? Dodge Arrow? Heck, a Toyota RN20 would be awesome!
@@AMPROEngineering yes absolutely :)
Seems to be alot of small trucks.... Where are the Tamiya kits.. 🤔🤔😎 keep up the good work.
Jeez I havent looked at Tamiya in years. They haven't had anything good in a while. I do have a ton of upgrades coming soon for Tamiya's on my end.

I have talked to FMS and told them the price for that is way too high. $200 maybe....This truck is killer.
i got a good discount for mine on tower hobbies, only reason why i have a k-10 rather then the glacier
Boa noite, ou tarde , ou dia , que pena um caminhonete tão bonita se fosse fazer uma adaptação eu que não ia da muito certo o compartimento do motor é muito apertado e o chassis é de plástico a da glacier a k10 é de metal mas não pega uma de 2 velocidade da Wpl. 😳😓👀👀👍👏👏👏👏👊
O FMS agora faz 2 velocidades, mas você precisaria adaptá-lo para caber.
Nice location for.crawling brother...😍 +1 from me..✓
Thanks! It really is a cool place.

Yup, the track is exactly 7mm too narrow. If you look at episode 328, you will see the new wheels I made to sort that.
@@AMPROEngineering love your work…. I think my favorite build is the Sand Scorcher… I have one that I’d love you convert!!
I can't understand why it's $139 now, the same price as the K10.
I find this for 139 now.
Hey do you think you could 3D print a grill for that truck to change the truck from a 78 to an 87 I would be very interested in buying one if you can
I am doing that for the RC4WD Blazer at the moment. The problem is the hood. The hood changed so the later grill wont fit the hood bulge. I am trying to see how to address that.

No i have not. I have heard that the binding can somehow unbind. I would re-bind the radio and receiver. I have not done this but there has to be a tutorial.
Is that skid from transformers in the background there
Hahah! I have had Skids there in the past but that is a 1:24 Bbrago Fiat Ritmo.
I just got this little truck and really like it alot. Brand new to the RC world and this is my first vehicle. Was wondering if you happen to know where I could get an extra battery so I can keep going for longer then just the 45 minutesish
Welcome to the hobby! I would look at Banggood but you can probably find them on ebay.
@@AMPROEngineering cool thanks man. I'm gonna do some googleing. Just wanted something plug and play. Didn't wanna have to mod anything
@@anthonycalabrisotto494 Same here. There will be zero modifications needed here.
Niiiiiiiiiiice wee trail truck, unboxing and review, i appreciate that you put the Amazon UK 🇬🇧 links in the description, really saves me a lot of time trying to find it. I like how it looks and drives, are the tyres licensed?.
😎👍👍👍🇬🇧🚙
Sure thing! I am glad you liked it. The tire LOOK licensed but....no idea.
I love mine. Had it for a few months now. Gonna put some injora wagon wheels on it and do some scale details like chrome the trim on the sides, and aluminum paint on the grill.. these are great mini crawler/trail trucks
I love these also. The new wheels I made fixed the wheel track and I love tall the extras I added to the body. Great truck
Hi there, it’s a cool looking truck. The colour suits the truck and in your capable hands, should have it looking and moving well. 😊😉😊
It really is awesome. Thank you!
I got one. Very well made. I actually had a full size 1976 Canadian Military 5/4 ton. I have pictures of it and want to replicate camo paint scheme and 3d print parts such as bush guard etc.
Very cool!
Where can i find thos metal gear been looking for ever
The FairRC website sells all the spare parts. The metal gears were in the K10
What rollbar is that in the thumbnail? Thanks
It is our design. We will cover that in an upcoming video.
I have so far my new one and YES they look great. I just need to find new parts like the shafts. Different shocks blue would be good. I appreciate your video. Thank you! New Subscribed
Any time! Glad you liked it! Lots more to come.
Yes it sure does Chevrolet underneath that sticker, first thing I took off of mine just got two days ago it is a awesome truck
Haha! Yeah had to happen.
How does the wheelbase compair to a Lunchbox body. ??
Its too short. I thought the same thing, haha! I didnt realize how small this was until I parked next to a lunchie. The wheel track is super narrow too. WPL's are a no brainer for a lunchie conversion.
With some darker blue paint, a 69 on the doors, and a roll bar, this could make a great Varsity Blues truck.
Very good point! I keep hearing "Make a fall guy truck". I didnt even like that show, lol!
Just got one, waiting for some wheels and tires to arrive. Also eagerly awaiting a couple of your 3D printed parts to be available for purchase.
Awesome! Yeah I need to figure out how to make these available. Their size isn't great for SLS
awesome review of the Glacier. I have been looking that one for a while. I might have to get one soon! thanks!
Sure thing!
That’s a awesome little truck.I’m thinking of getting one.
It is a great truck. I happen to love it.
The place you were crawling at looks like the same place rc review does his crawls at
Yeah it is close by the house. Nice place!
最近是中国品牌专场啊，都是淘宝热销货。
It's really funny in the end, "I knew it !"
Yeah so did I! Hahah! The second I saw that I knew they had covered the mold.
After seeing this I ordered one too! 😀 Do you sell these wheels on your website, Alberto?
I will have them posted soon! They center cap is not ideal and they are soo small that they need polyjet or resin prints, neither of which as strong. Ill have a video on them soon.
Got mine friday. Love this truck.
Great to hear it!
Can you tell us where you got the roll bar and wheels in the thumbnail pic?
These are ampro products that we will cover soon. We are doing more testing.
@@AMPROEngineering OK great. Looking forward to buying some accessories for mine.
@@AMPROEngineering apologies for my impatience but are accessories for this still in the works? Really interested in that roll bar among other things
@@miguelcandelaria460 Yes, they are all complete but I cannot release anything until the video is done. Without that, people tend to assemble things wrong and then yell at me.
would be nice to see a motor upgrade install on one of these
Man i dunno how the gear reduction would do. It is slow...
1/18 is perfect for indoor to medium outdoor crawl. Hoping to have in the future hehe.
I think you are spot on.
@@AMPROEngineering Do you think upgrading and waterproofing are possible in the 1/18 platform? I prefer the look of this than the FMS. IMO this is the workhorse / backcountry chores and the FMS is the status symbol of an American Truck.
I think it larger than 1/18.
I have some 1/16 RC and some 1/18 diecast cars and this really seems to be spot on as 1/18
Personally I prefer the blacked-out bumpers, grille and wheels on this more affordable version... I can see some AMPRO printed door cards and a detailed engine bay cover for this! (...then let me rust it for you when you're finished ;o)
LOL! I know you do.....
also the paint just looks better than red fms one...
