Wife said you should get a clear body and paint it like the mystery van and let shaggy and Scooby ride up front for a change 😜🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Love it! If I could paint worth a dime I totally would lol
@@2fmrc she just thought that would be really cool lol
Funny I was just thinking that.
Im ecstatic with how they didn’t put another mad jeep on the market and im a full time vanner in real life so you know im extremely excited to see an rc company showing old school American vans some love. We dont have many vans in the hobby. You can literally count them all on one hand. We’ve got the lunchbox, the kyosho with the econoline body, the WPL D42, and this one and im definitely going in on it asap!
I love that fair Rc actually has a few upgrades
It does have a super fun look too it! Chassis layout actually looks really decent and portals are a nice touch. I'd be interested in seeing a direct comparison to the TRX4M. I feel like traxxas should have gone with portals on the mini.
For 120 you can't beat that and the slow crawl looks good too thanks man
I love that van look. It looks like my Chevy G10 I had once. And I love that van. This van RC is so quiet. I love it thank you
Being an old man... I really like this one!!! Great video!
I ordered the blue and yellow version a few days ago. They are a cool looking little van and its good to know they perform pretty well too. Great vid mate !
That van is awesome I just got called from my local hobby shop and my trx4 defender just came in today in green which I e been wanting since I first got it so I'm picking it up tomorrow but I am definitely gonna pick this rig up in another week or two I'm gonna go with the tan and lite blue one seem more of a retro color to me I dig the new updates on this CR18 body definitely dig the portals it's gonna be like a mini trx4 with portals like the original one lol I'm a huge 4x4 van fanatic wish I owned one in real life but their Soo overpriced at least I'll have a tiny version of one I'm thinking adventure van look on mine nice vid love that u all do the 1/18 scalers alot especially from companies like fms/eazyrc/rochobby they make such awesome rigs for the money I just got the Willy's 1/12 for 150 bucks this weekend and my god is that thing a beauty I'll be checking in soon love your videos man
Outstanding place, wish I could find a place like that here in Michigan
Nice. The minivan details and driveability is good Thank you for the perfect review👍💯
The van has a certain charm .
Beautiful video . The gold rims are a go .
You know me I’ll watch anything and all of it that you share. That van is looking awesome out there,
Great video! It looks like it would be top heavy but seeing is believing. It would be interesting to see it compared to the other trucks at the lower end of the price scale. And great throwback clip there at the beginning.
I agree 100% this is the most fun I've had with one in a while. I expected to be disappointed but it's blown me away especially for $120
I had fun watching 👍👍 yeah you really got me stoked on the van, I’m just gonna change wheels and tires maybe, and have a custom interior made for yeah that’s about it. Well again appreciate you sharing catch you on the next one peace and chicken grease 👍👍😁😎
Pretty neat little RC Matt. Just ordered me a FCX24 using your affiliate link and discount code. Also grabbed some metal portal gears. Thanks for the videos!
Very nice Chevy van and 1/18 scale that is great
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
I love this rig Matt I ordered mine as soon as they were back in stock like 4 or 5 days ago, I would love to see you compare it to the trx4m also it be sweet to see a tear down so we can see what size bearings we need.
I'm obsessed with fair rc cars! So good!
That is a cool little unit. Nicely reviewed! Honest and straightforward. I’d buy one too. Looks like a fun vehicle.
Really appreciate the compliment. It’s definitely a fun little truck!
I feel it's the best rtr out of the box out of the micro crawlers I knew you'd be impressed I put some swam kings and it really improved this rig and as allways with the best honest review
Love the van, its pretty cool how Fair RC included your video on their email promoting it today. I used some points for a discount so I threw in the "optional spotlight set" with my order. It looks like it has a light bar for the bumper in that set as well.
Nice! I was looking at some of the parts for it myself earlier and was thinking about getting that light bar.
This van is awesome! Great video Matt. 👍🏻
So I finally let my curiosity get the better of me. That transmitter is a FlySky MG41 running the ANT protocol. Flysky also shows the new scx24 transmitter and that runs the same protocol. I wonder if they can be paired???
Yes. I paired the scx24 v2 transmitter to the fcx esc which is basically the same as this. The flysky g7p which is also ant protocol won’t bind to them unfortunately though.
I like it and the price. Always liked the way vans looks lifted.
Definitely interested in a comparison among RTRs on the market right now. I’m getting the sense that the Traxxas at $150 is going to set the hobby-grade price point for Axial and FMS for a while, and that we’ll keep seeing the no-Phillips rigs at that price or higher. But these step-down RTRs that are sometimes $99 on sale are seriously looking fun, and this van definitely looks cooler than the firehorse IMO. These seem like the kind of rigs I’d put wheels and tires on for aesthetics and then never touch unless something breaks. Plus it’s nice to have a couple decent loaner rigs for when buddies want to crawl with you (downside I’d having all my other rigs on one TX, lol).
Sweet van. Just needs a window rolled down a crack and a mini smoke machine installed inside, maybe some psyched lighting from the cab 👍
If you loose connection under water you will have to make a longer antenna, sticking out of the water - then it will still work.
Yeah they looked really cool, I have some deep dish mofo rims yeah I’m stoked
Finally a proper 1:18 scale crawler van!
I am more interested in seeing more about this than the trx4m.
I really hope to see a ford van body, even better if it's on the fcx24 platform 😅
Since you put your perspective on the rock van makes me really want one even more now you do the best review videos and you usually don't like any of the hobby Plus so for you to like it I might have to get one
Aw jeez that's a shaggin' wagon right there
I want one. I like the new Evo one with inner fenders and 2 speed.
I just ordered a set of the metal transmission gears used in these to hopefully use in my Atlas. I've been holding off on going the SCX24 axle/transmission swap hoping someone would finally release some metal gears for the trans. Already have the Furitek monster truck ring/pinion in all 3 axles. Wonder if I can use that portal axle on the Atlas now.
Yeah dang it I just ordered one Yep one thing I Ain’t got is a van I ordered the red and gray also kind of stoked about it now
Heck yeah! Congrats! I think you’ll like it.
Think it's cool looking. Seems to preform well
Yeah side hills pretty good I like it
Great video
Lol. I did the same thing a year or more ago I thought I was on solid ground my trx4 starts to sink a little bit I don’t want to lose it so I lunge for it and my whole leg sinks half way in the water, I dip my radio in the water, in some goose poop muddy slimy water. Pants were soaked socks and shoes were filled 20 minute walk of shame through the park with no shoes back to the car 😂😂 and my radios been glitching ever since
Different & fun. Exactly.
Im really impressed by that little rig, especially for the price, and especially for its roots. (I didnt like the cr24 or 18 line of rigs originally)
Stoked to see how those tires do on sandstone ;-)
This pertains to an older video. The losi night crawler se. If there is a better motor than stock for the worm gears what would u recommend.
Matt - top notch stuff here! I've watched a lot of your videos over the last year and am ALWAYS impressed... Do you know if the portal covers for th fcx24 are the same for the Rock Van? I want to get some down low weight...
I was at a Crawl Comp and saw one of these vans. SO, I just purchased one, 3am Friday morning...
Haha! Nice!
Question...when you upgraded your wheels and tires, did you find that each axle had 2 small metal washers on the ends of the axles? I just got my Rock Van a couple of days ago and saw the washers on each of the axles. @@2fmrc
Rock Van arrived, cool lookin' rig. Removed the front bumper, better approach angle now. This thing climbed things on our crawl course, while other rigs wouldn't do it. Love the van...@@2fmrcGot the van for $89...
Hey dude. Love the content. Quick question though, I've just got my Cayman. My scx24 wheels won't fit. I was wondering if you could recommend a specific set of beadlocks that fit on the Cayman.
Thanks!
Idk if you've done it but could you do a tutorial video on how to adjust stuff on controllers like this and the fcx radio.. cuz my fcx is great but it seems the steering left to right is far from equal
I'm really glad it's looking to be a good truck! Especially since I have ordered one! Hmmm...are those shocks FCX24 sized?
Very similar in size for sure
Vaaaaaaaaan body in stock!!!!! Woooooow!!!! I already like it)😍💯
Ohhh, and what episode number and from what movie was that intro ?😁🤭
It was just a Saturday night live skit. Look up “Van down by the River stl” on TH-cam. It’s hilarious!
Ya,this thing is cool! Definitely gonna ad one of these to the hood. Can’t wait to see what you do “upgrades” to it. Would like to see some size comparisons with the scx24,Fcx,4m to. Great vid as always!
When will manufacturers either leave out the indicators or have an option to turn them off altogether. I hate them coming on the second you turn the wheel, just looks silly when you're crawling
Yeah I was hoping it had a setting like the firehorse where they are off. Not a big fan of them on while crawling either. I may just remove those lights lol
Too cool man! Are those not basically the fms axles?
They're different
Very similar but not the same. The plastic looks a little thinner on these overall.
I believe I saw 1.2 wheels and tires
Yeah the stocks are 1.2
Hi 🙋🏼♂️
What do you think about the EVO version?
Definitely a great option. The two speed makes it even more capable and alot of fun to drive.
Is it a 2speed or what does the 2speed switch do for this one vs fcx
Its just a one speed.
No 2 speed. The 2 speed switch does nothing on this model out of the box.
@@2fmrcCould a 2speed FMS trans be fitted?
@@Razdawg22 I put the 2 speed in mine. Had to drill new holes in the skid but it wasn’t too hard. The hardest thing is making a mount for the shift servo etc. I ended up pulling it back out just because but it can be done.
I see a Mr T van build.
😉👍
Loving the videos but what this van needs is an A-Team paint scheme.
That would be sweet. I just want mine painted up like the one on Uncle Drew. Complete with a boom boom room 😆
It doesn't respond like little RC.
Pro-tip: take off the front bumper.
Pro tip. I found you hahahaha cheers
Yeah but I kinda like the look of it lol. Maybe I’ll look for some alternatives.
@@2fmrc takes much harder lines without it
@@northernlightsrc8994 who are you tho 😂
I ordered mine 13 days ago.. still waiting.. stopped updating tracking 4 days ago.. I personally will never buy from fairrc again
Jesus dude you're all over Facebook and TH-cam with this shit. You said you got a different truck and you weren't even interested in the van anymore so get over it
@@benmoen don’t you have another low grade video to make?? I’m trying to help people not get screwed over.. I have a lot of rc’s and never been through this.. not even with banggood.. I’m not the only one who has had a problem with them.. they are literally reaching out to people to see if they have problems too..
@@slinginlead8353 never been through what? An item shipping from China? They sent your package - they don't control the post. People have only started getting them within the last week. Take it easy ghost rider. You're the one who said you've moved on from this and yet here you are actively monitoring social media and TH-cam leaving comments
@@benmoen I said I’m over the Rc not the experience..
I’ve had that happen a few times. Once the package gets to customs in the US it’s sometimes no longer updated for whatever reason. Not much FairRc can do about that but it does suck. Hopefully it’ll show up soon. Mine was in route for a good 2 wks due to them just being released.
