FMS found a soft spot in many RCers heart . It's fun just looking at it .
Fms 2 speed transmission is the key! Makes for a bit of fun when just wanting to cruise fast! awesome
I'm so happy for this release! I was getting a little bored on the small scale stuff but this has excited me to get out crawling again. Thanks for the video!
The body is phenomenal. Both the pick up and suv look both are 10/10
That body roll looks incredible to but yes for crawling it would be nice to tighten up
Thank you for giving us run time to check out before we get em. Definitely bought one. Excitement is off the radar for this, I can't wait to run the trx4m and it together as well. Great video🙏
You know it's a good rig when you can't stop to drive the other one. A+ video mate
Yep! That’s exactly what happened lol. Figured I’d get a couple shots of it alone then run them both and like 45 mins later I’m still just running the k5 lol
The more I see it the more I like it! Thanks for taking the time to review I’m definitely going to get one that look is awesome out on the trail.
Awesome video Matt! I feel like this truck kinda gave the same performance surprises as the Rock Van, it’s always nice when you get more out of something than you expect to, can’t wait to get my hands on one. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏽
That thing is awesome. I think this is going to be my next crawler. I've lost track of how many I have now. Everyone is coming out with these nice mini crawlers.
FMS are making some awesome stuff. I can't wait until mine show up. Great video Matt, thanks.
Wow, oil in the shocks utterly transforms it. Always good to hear your opinions.
Wow that’s says a lot about this this.Didn’t think it could get any better than the trx4m with crawler gears and bearings.Nice vid of this new k5. I like the orange and white.
FMS are killing it at that price point. Looks so good too. This video makes me doubt my idea of buying a black one.
They all look good
I can’t wait till my K5 shows up it doesn’t get released for shipping to Canada until May 5. I wish I got one for review 😅
I liked it so much I’m back watching again, can’t wait to pull the lid off and see mine on my table yeah.
Thanks for the running vid! The Blazer looks awesome!
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Yeah some more running videos with the K5 i’ll be here watching for it 👍👍😎
Right on Matt, I love my FCX 24s they are great right out of the box my power wagon the first I love the stock tractor tires I put a set of the brass inner rings just in the front did the same with the other two brass rings in my rock Van works great Yep back watching again love this video man really appreciate you 👍👍😎 I have 6FCX 24s still stock servo I’ve had no problems if it ain’t broke don’t need to fix it yet but my red power wagon oh it did finally popped the front driveshaft I replaced with steel driveshaft front and back First thing I’m doing for my K5
Orange and white for sure!! Excellent video!
Ordered a K5. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks for the tips Matt, you are awesome as always.
Absolutely! Hope you love it!!!
Great video and that sure is a good looking little truck. I think it handled really well on those rocks for a stock truck!!
Yes it did made it up that pretty well, and after changing the tires this is my kind of driving slow and controlled that’s where a lot of the fun is yeah 👍👍😎
That hard body just hits right. So clean
Unlike the scx24, the fcx24 has a lot more torque, which is why the driveshaft went. Excellent comparison and can't wait to see what you do weight wise and accessories
I just got mine looking forward to climbing some hills . Fms rocks😊
great video! good running. im so glad to have got mine, working on some bumpers, interior, etc. i don't mind the bearings. my power wagon with bearings is sloppy and crusty and this new truck is butter smooth but well see how long that lasts lol
Looks so good it made me take my FCX24 s back to the rocks and enjoy it again. I forgot how good these trucks are.
About the Traxxas comments, sad to hear the version of "big company suing small manufacturers that want to make parts for their trucks", instead of the true one about the use of their name on their products and the guidance they provided recently for those sellers about how to do things correctly...
I really haven’t researched what happened much. Just what I heard from some of the guys who got their website taken down. Their main source of income taken away due to Traxxas contacting their website providers before them. Some guidance. I just think Traxxas is big enough they could just go on without causing all this drama. Contact the companies and give them some time to make the changes needed if you really wanna worry about it. They are greedy turds and that’s all it is imo but I don’t really have anything to do with it so it don’t matter to me. Just seems kinda petty to me.
this thing looks so good, cant wait to see what kinda aftermarket support follows.
There's allready a decent aftermarket for the fcx24 platform
It is what it is. I pre-ordered one, I think instead of cutting out the back window I'm just going to get a piece of black vinyl to cut out and make it look like there's a window
So I have to get one too 🎉 Great video, thanks man 😊
Nice footage! I went big tire and Furitek chassis on my power wagon. I have the orange K5 preordered and got some brass Treal parts ordered. I got some Injora wheels and want to run the Proline Swampers but they are out of stock everywhere!
Thanks! I wanna put the Swampers on mine! Just didn’t like the wheels I have them mounted on for this truck so I guess I’ll be swapping them. I love the Swampers though and I think they’ll be a great size for this truck plus look great.
👍Great running footage!
Great video buddy i was on the fence about getting the k5 but im going to order one to go with my trx4m defender
Great show, bro! Loving mine!!!
i've just pre ordered mine in black, it will be my first crawler!
Sweet! Hope you love it! It’s definitely addicting
I waited all that time of having no fcx24 to finally get this one I can’t wait! Pretty bummed about the back window not being there but I also like the topper anyway. What I came to say was your always the first one to break something haha and great running footage with rims and tires 10/10 video
Haha! It’s almost a let down if I don’t break it first run 😆. Appreciate the comment and hope you love the fcx!
@@2fmrc good stuff. Your the man
These look so good. Would love to see a release of the K5 with Smasher tires
The body fits right on it.
Thanks for all the information
I'm going to take the brown one, it reminds me so much of the series "The Fall Guy!
I will remove the rear hood and install the hoops with the headlight ramp
Of course I will order the metal driveshafts at the same time to avoid breaking them!
I love the brown! I haven’t seen as much love for it as I expected. It could be my fav. Haven’t seen it in person but I just love the look of it. I’m gonna have to order one 🤦🏻♂️
My mind went to Simon & Simon, but otherwise I totally agree. I want the black on black on pickup config. Definitely looking forward to the aftermarket upgrades that will be available when I'm ready to pick one up.
What a beautiful truck ide love grab one! 😊
Great video. I love Chevys. The terrain is awesome. It looks a lot like our granite outcroppings here in New England. I like your commentary. I think I will subscribe. 👍
I really appreciate the sub & comment! This is definitely one of my favorite local spots. Crazy how similar the rock can be here in Ky to where you are.
I absolutely agree, it's got to be the Blazer configuration.!!
I think looks wise it's too short for a pickup.
Awesome Matt, I was wondering if the glass was going to be there like the smashers I’ve cut the ones out on my smashers hundred percent better looking, I will be doing that to my K5 both of them got the black one and the orange and white one on the way
Great run video, very nice
Right off the bat, better tires! This is why I keep coming back. Nobody, again, Nobody has done that
Yeah I really wanted to go straight in to some better tires with some weight down low but wanted everyone to get a feel for what it can do stock first lol
FMS really does well on their body's that's for sure! The tires and wheels you put on the K5 really help it look more in proportion. Owning both the FCX24 and TRX4M I think the FMS definitely edge out TRAXXAS In terms of value for money and I like the FMS axles more! Both are capable trucks, bit I say FCX24 for the win!
Same here! It’s not that I don’t like the Trx4m but I just prefer the fcx a little more. Like you mentioned the portals are nice and the two speed is amazing! Especially for a scale truck like this.
Are they the same scale?? They look the same but on paper theyre different lol?
Great comparison, still have to wait until it is available in Europe…
Definitely liking the K-5 over the 4m
They did the same thing with the back window on the Smasher. The rear window "glass" is there, just like it is with the K5, but no opening. I cut mine open and it makes a world of difference in the looks. Doing a full Bigfoot conversion with my Smasher.
Yeah I wish they’d just cut those out. I got some big foot sticker for mine but I’ve never made the conversion. I bet it’ll look awesome!
I love the bronco I have two of the SCX 24 broncos the red one and a light gray Didn’t need another bronco that’s why I didn’t get that one I also love my SCX 24s but the FCX 24s is becoming my favorites
From what I understand Traxxas isn't suing for companies to not make parts but just to change their wording to theirs parts that are for Traxxas vehicles to compatible with traxxas and not for Traxxas. Wording like that so ppl don't think their 3rd party parts are made by Traxxas and if no good ppl blame them. Makes sense to protect what you have built.
Yeah I agree after hearing more. They still should’ve went about it better imo. Some people got their websites completely shut down because Traxxas just contacted their provider before even give them notice. Traxxas has always sucked as a company though so it’s no surprise to me. Good thing they make some killer basher trucks or they’d been out of the hobby a long time ago lol
Long story short: Overall, the FCX24 is better than the Traxxas (as usual). Thanks, sir. I love how that K5 looks and performs!
What a awesome playground yeah I love it, or should I say testing grounds
I wish it was in my backyard! Gonna start working on an outdoor testing grounds soon here at home. Thanks for always watching and commenting. Means a lot 🙏
@@2fmrc yeah I wish you was my neighbor 😁👍👍 now that would be awesome, I’d love to be there with you crawling, I live in Manchester Michigan.
Great video
The ride looks amazing man I think it needs lower down though not a whole lot like you said if you want to keep looking scale only thing is with me is I really don't have none that looks scaled maybe the Power Wagon but it is stretched out and slammed on the ground
That K5 looked top heavy but it worked.
I would like this video, but it currently has 420 likes and I am not about to screw that up. Great review, cant wait to get mine!
Haha! Can’t blame ya on that one. Appreciate the comment though!
Question, I'm just starting out, literally got the first trucks for myself and my kids on Sunday so forgive me if this sounds stupid; the Bronco is 1/18 and the Blazer is 1/24, but it seems like the only real difference in size is about 10mm in length. Why isn't the Bronco visibly much larger? Like the difference between the FMS K10 and SCX24 C10 is noticeably different in size.
First off…. Welcome to the hobby! That’s sort of a question we all wanna know lol. These companies have been all over the place with their scales lately. There really should be more difference between them. The Blazer is more 1/18 but they call it 1/24 for whatever reason lol
I have some really good mini crawlers but I love the look of the Blazer I have the exact same one with brass & metal beadlocks & Injora tires. Like you wher saying in another video the welelbase needs to be longer I’m wondering if you could just do it yourself with longer links & longer drive shafts.
Amazing how this Chevy K5 handles well. I feel tempted to get the same.
On my FCX24, i replaced the heavy body by the Atlas 6x6 one : same size, same model truck, lexan (stronger), lighter (minus 30gr), and performances rose up. When it flips, no heart attack.😇Would it be possible to find the same K5 body out of Lexan ?
They're totally out of stock here in the UK.!
£124 is a bloody good price.!
Thanks for the sweet video mate.!
Stay safe out there & best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ♥ 📻 🎮 🔋 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚔 🚕 🚖 🚗 🚘 🚙 🚚 🚛 🚜 🏎️ 🏍️ 🚤 🛥️ ✈️ 🛩️ 🚁.
Hi I'm also in the UK Which website did you see them for that price? Hopefully back in stock soon
I didn't need a whole other truck so I just purchased the body and all the bits to complete it, I like the k5 way more than the power wagon I also have a v1 fcx24 with the remote with dip switches.
Yeah the body is the seller on this one. I mean the truck is great but if you already have one then the body is really all ya need!
Where did you get the body? And it fits easily on the power wagon?
New sub great video. Glad I found ya!!!
Really appreciate the sub! Let me know if ya have anything you’d like to see. I always try my best!
Just got my blazer yesterday and did the same thing to my front yoke one hour in driving one the couch! Ugh! Metal driveshafts are for sure coming.
I bought the trx4m for indoor driving, when the weather isn´t nice. I bought it for the fact, that it had big aftermarket support and it will be a keeper for a long time. The legal situation makes me very sad to be honest...
Wow amazing man speechless amazing video
Really appreciate that 🙏
Realy nice Blazer👌
I hope this shows up in Norway??
Hopefully!
Very nice k5
🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵
Great review. Waiting for my 1st wave delivery..What oil weight would you recommend for front/rear shocks?
I just have some 10wt shock oil I put in mine. Seems to work pretty well
amzn.to/409zw1c
What tires did you switch to from stock? It looks way better with whatever they are!
I just ordered this as my first rc car ever. I'm excited to get into the hobby.
Is this truck waterproof too? I couldn't get a solid answer anywhere I looked. Just said shallow water. Where as the Traxxas I've seen damn near under water lol.
What oil do you use in the stock shocks? Does it by chance come with oil in the box?
Great vid. Dang tho I ordered the bigger lgrp mud kings cuz the wheel wells looked so huge but the 57s you're running look perfect. Do you think the 64s would even fit?
Not if you want to turn! I love the swamp kings I need to order the new 57s myself
I think they’ll be a bit large on this but I can try them and let ya know or post a pic for ya.
Great video !!! What wheels and tires did you use on your k5 ??
Running these wheels with the 57mm LGRP swamp kings
amzn.to/3myt4Tz
Any chance of doing a followup with a decent set of weighted wheels and better tires? maybe some 3d printed skids?
I want the black one just broke as a joke
The pdf shows it does have bearings in the transmission !
that's why they made the blazer so it wasn't a truck!
Now we just need a suburban and my dream collection will be complete
Absolutely!
Back window sticker would of been simple for fms to do
On the k5
I wish the wheelbase was 155mm. It would be perfect.
Without soldering, any recommended adapters to adapt the fcx24 battery to an xt60 for charging?
You need something like this. Hobbyking is a trusted site. I got a lot of stuff there back in the day.
hobbyking.com/en_us/xt60-male-to-micro-losi-male-charging-adapter-2pcs.html
Awesome driving and clips! So what would you recommend for a 1st fcx purchase? This or the power wagon?
Power wagon for a crawler build, k5 for a trail build.
@@tarantula-man yep!
Like the other comment says. I’d definitely go power wagon for more of a crawler build and the K5 for a trail truck. You can change the body on either and go whichever way you prefer. Both the same exact truck underneath.
Definitely is a 10/10 in their Electronics is amazing also
another reviewer found the K5 fits on the Smasher chassis vis a versa
You need an 2FMRC intern! Where do I get an application?
Haha! That’s an idea!
At 25:15 you made a inacurate statement about Traxxas. They are not suing any manufactures. They asked for manufactures and vendors to use the correct verbiage on websites regarding sales of parts for Traxxas vehicles...
Yeah it was just based on what I had heard at that point. I’m not a news source lol. Traxxas was willing to go that far though and handled it pretty crappy imo. People’s websites were shut down etc without even giving them time to make changes. Traxxas sucks as a company and that’s just that. If they didn’t make great bashers they’d be out of the hobby already.
What oil do you use in the FMS shocks?
I’ve been having problems with them getting super sticky after I oil them.
To prevent leaks you should apply green slime on the shocks o-rings.. you can get green slime from any hobby shops and it's pretty cheap.
I use some of this 10wt oil in most of mine. Seems to work pretty well!
amzn.to/3UB4TjU
Put black tape on it for the back window.
so if i order a shirt do i get a 2FM sticker i dont see them for sale in your store and i want one ;}
I haven’t got any made up to add to the store yet but hope to soon! I’ve been trying to ship a few out to people who order. Just to say thanks. I have a few 1/24 stickers left and some others I’ve been mixing in.
Hey can u do a short on charger , battery ect.. thanks
What he said! I'm noobish and am going to buy an FCX24 through your aff. links... Just wish you had some aff. links for batts and chargers, as well as simple RC beginner vids/ lipo safety and tips.
I know this takes a lot of your time to make these vids, all of us appreciate it! Also hope you make some $$ for all of the work you're putting in!!
Shopping tires for my pre order now. Stock is 55 you are running 57....What size do you think you could get away with before rubbing too much?
I’m gonna try a few sets today and maybe make a short video on tires for it so keep an eye out! I’ve had a lot of people asking that question so I figure it’ll be best to just show some different tires on it. Anything specific you are thinking about? If I have them I’ll show them!
@@2fmrc Though near the same size as factory would love to see the look and performance change running the Patagonia or wrangler, for big fit the scramblers is as tall as I would ever want to go. Thanks for the reply, keep up the good work, you're channel is always my first reference.
I feel like the biggest downside to the FMS is the short wheelbase especially on steep obstacles
Yeah and you can’t really stretch this one like we did the power wagon. Won’t fit the body too well.
Do any of the fcx24 models have all bearings?
The original power wagon did but I don’t think any of them do now.
57mm tires on the K5?
Yeah those were the 57mm swamp kings
Can you get metal dry shafts and links and stuff for these
Oh yeah. Anything for the fcx will work. I just slap Scx24 driveshafts on mine most the time cause I have a bunch of them around lol
@@2fmrc this is my first FCX so I might have to get me some metal parts
first thing i did was take all the trax electronics out replace....
Trying to decide which small crawler to get as my first (possibly only).
Hobby plus trail hunter
TRX4m
Or a fcx24
I've kinda given up on the scx24 now because it seems expensive for what you get.
Enduro24 didn't look very exciting.
This will be for indoor crawling when the littles have gone to bed .... Don't seem to have time for my 10th scales anymore 😆
Cr18p or fcx24 I recommend the performance and parts are better. I have the scx24 and the trx4m and a 10 scale trx4. I love my big one but once in for $800+ and not being able to use it from breakage made me change to small scale. The scx24 is good but needs some work shortly out of the box or after using. Trx4m is good looking but not the best performance compared to fcx or trail hunter in my opinion
The Hobby Plus CR18p or the FCX24 is what I would go with. I would lean to the FMS since it does have more aftermarket. The TRX4M is a nice trail rig but I have much better time crawling outside with the portal axles. The SCX24 is starting to get outdated since most agree the motor and servo is bad in those.
Yeah don't get an scx24, they're getting REALLY boring after a while and the tiny screws are a pain in the ass.
Are you planning to build a course or just crawl the couch etc? The Fcx24s are a great place to start and so is the t Hunter but it and the K5 are both a bit larger so if running on a course you’ll need to make sure they’ll fit well. I like that the fcx has all Allen head screws vs the T hunter with the Phillips screws. The two speed in the fcx makes it much more enjoyable for just random playing also. Running indoors can be a lot more fun when you can slap it in high and whip it around the living room floor etc. I would almost have to go with the fcx just because of the variety of fun you can have. Great slow crawl and the two speed transmission. Something very thrilling about slapping it in high to make a tough hill climb!
@@2fmrc I've been 3d printing desktop terrain so I can have a modular course. It seems the fcx24 is definitely the way to go, I think I'll grab the power wagon version, I know there's some bodies on thingiverse that I can rescale so the body style is not that much of an issue. The features on it sound great and seems like the quality is there.
Please run it side by side with the Rock Van
Texoma RC has a video where he did that
Even with a thumb extention I still can't use my traxxas controller with one hand. You're right, they're terrible
I have 2 of the 4m and they are both super average.
Very disappointed.
FMS have proven to be so much better.
