My first choice out of the FCX24Ms was the Discovery. After seeing how much more low profile the Range Rover was I bought that one. The other three seemed way too top heavy. I upgraded my Range Rover with FairRC metal wheels with Batrazzi tires along with brass wheel weights in the front. I also added on FMS metal driveshafts and chassis links. The wheel and tire upgrades alone made my Range Rover more capable and not flip over as easy.
@@DPWian hello, thanks for the feedback! I now have a Land Rover D110 that I swapped with a friend for the Discovery. I’ve added brass weights on the wheels and that makes a nice difference. For such a small rig, these are super cool and super detailed and they actually perform ok. 👌
You made a really good comparison video more than a Vs. video, as it’s always hard to pit different scales against each other in a pass/fail style competition. You showcased two things really well though; the smoothness of the drivetrain in the new M variants absent the portal axle induced slop inherent in the FCX24 & FCX18’s. And the smoothness of the suspension the Discovery has with that extra body weight on top. Both great vehicles and platforms to work off of. 👍
@@JT-6s thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate. It’s not meant to be a competition as these are two different platforms. The only thing they share is the fact they’re both 1/24 scale. I think FMS has nailed it with this new FCX24M! Plus it’s proper fun trying to run through obstacles in stock form, which so happens to be very capable 👍👊
I appreciated the measurement comparisons! I want to see if I could fit a K5 body onto the fms24m chassis, with some 3d printed mounts. I think it would look a lot more scale with smaller tires and tucked-in wheels.
I have both of these same models. Trying to compare them is pointless. They are completely different beasts. The Blazer is at least 18th scale and the Disco is around 20th. Wheel size and portals etc give the Blazer a huge advantage before adding more weight to the roof of the Disco. No comparisons are really fair, but in this case, I think the closest you could get would be the stock Disco against a stock SCX24 Jeep JLU but with a similar hard body fitted. The chassis are so similar and overall trans layout. And obviously limit the Disco to 1st gear.
Not really! The FCX24M is in my opinion (if you watch my initial review of it) a great 1/24 scale truck! The videos intention was to show people the differences between the FCX24 and the FCX24M.
Are those spline drive shafts, rather than the + section we've had until now? And are those beadlock wheels? Lovely little tyres might be nice on more scale 1/16 scale rigs.
Not sure about the shafts, but will check. The wheels are not headlock. The tyres are not glued either but they’re are very sticky so they don’t slip on the wheels. There’s no need to glue the tyres.
@@mattwalding13 hi, thanks for the kind comments. 👊 I don’t remember to be honest. 😂 I bought these on AliExpress a while ago. They’re 1.0inch aluminium wheels, super light weight.
Like the Disco, I can't get over the flaws in this comparison. Either laiden them both with the same additional roof weights, or run them both entirely stock. "Look at this, a horse runs faster than this dog with his legs tied together". This video provides no useful insight.
All these problems/test prove is that portals and bigger tires are useful, it doesn’t speak to an any of the chassis differences. This is a flawed comparison

I own both and can say that the K5 shoukd have been a 1/18 all along.
Totally agree! It’s more a 1:18 scale than a 1:24… 👍
I appreciated the measurement comparisons! I want to see if I could fit a K5 body onto the fms24m chassis, with some 3d printed mounts. I think it would look a lot more scale with smaller tires and tucked-in wheels.
🤔 that would take a lot of doing to fit. But I would be curious to see to be honest. 👍👊

Good test, measure the width to know what scale are they
🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵
Thanks for the feedback. I don’t normally measure widths but may do that this time. 😃

@@marciopereira1065 nice, I might grab a set. They're quite like the scx24 chevy tyres, no?
@@itsjustcam247the tyres on the new FCX24M are 0.8 inch, so smaller than the ones on the FCX24 Chevy which are 1.0 inch.
@@marciopereira1065 what's their OD? It's nice to have a little variation in wheel size as well.
@@itsjustcam247 not sure, to be honest.
Hi enjoyed the video loving the wheels on the k5 blazer may I ask what they are?

Not a fair comparison even in real life. Land Rover has never built a vehicle as capable as a 70's era K5.
