    This is the best mod for the FMS FCX24 out there right now in my opinion! Grab some 24th scale monster truck wheels and tires, bolt them on and let this little truck rip!

    Love it! Thanks for the idea! Do you think this is a better platform than the SCX24? It seems this one is more ready to go based on your comentary. Also do you feel like parts for this are available enough? Thanks!

    • @UpperLeftRC
      @UpperLeftRC  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think for a quick and easy monster truck the fcx24 makes for a great platform. The Scx24 though because of its huge selection of parts and after market support is probably a better monster truck conversion option if you have a large budget to work with. With the fcx24 though I do think parts are becoming more available 😄👍🏻

    There is a faster motor it seems. It got the part number SKU C3070 and name "High Speed Motor" for $13. It seems to be a different motor at least because the part number for Smasher in its manual is SKU C3032 and not SKU C3070. The motors for the Power Wagon are also SKU 3032 in the store if I recall. Have you tried that yet?
    Personally I would like to replace my half upgraded Losi LMT. I am afraid its size is a bit too big for my neighborhood and the metal upgrades are beyond expensive. I thought of a very small truck. A 1/24 could use the many sandboxes around here for a monster truck track. I got a shovel already that I use for the big rear Losi LMT 1/8 to build quickly a jumping ramp. It is just that I may only fit one such a ramp into a sand box and that box has already to be big in the first place for the LMT.
    But of course for all this monster thing as you already know speed is need. Especially with a metal part upgrading nut such as myself. So before I sell my LMT and live with the regret that I never could finish its upgrades I first need some more info about the 24 scale. I only started today to inform myself.

    • @UpperLeftRC
      @UpperLeftRC  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Because of the worm gears in the differential the scx24 won’t run that fast, most people buy the Furitek monster truck conversion kit to get speed out of them.
