I've been trying to convert my FCX18 LC80 to straight axles, cause I don't like that the wheels stick out like that. But I'm just gonna sell it now and buy this. This one is perfect.
Yes! my favorite crawler guy finally posts about my long waited favorite crawler. I own a real one here in New Zealand. a 1996 LC80 1HDFT, 24 valve diesel motor with triple locked model currently sitting on 275k kms on the clock. Keep posting brotha!!! much love from NZ❤
You delivered. Excellent video bro. I am really torn between this or the mashigan. There is a sight that still sells the v1 grill for the mashigan too.
I like this one better than the blazer.I prefer the simplicity of this one and the body looks better to me.Driver figure head is a little goofy but that’s an easy fix.Body release much better on this version also
Nice rig mate im waiting for mine i pre-ordered it as soon as it was available to do so so im very excited to experience this great rig i prefer the simplicity of this one easier maintenance and less things to break indeed!!
Thanks very much mate 👍 Awesome, hope you like it. I don't use the locking diffs on the K5, they're just always locked, but the dig function is pretty cool. I do like portals too. This one is soooo quiet though, especially compared to my screeching banshee TRX4! 🤣🤣🤣
great vid as always m8 yea i agree would have been great if they fitted the portals on it and left of all bells and whistles servo wise of the k5. i cant comment on the tyres they never even touched the ground on my k5 lol
Thanks very much mate. 👍 Yeah I think for the price it would've added even more value for money. Stock tyres are decent, not amazing, but good enough for a stock rig. 👍
If they do any 1/10 Land Rovers with the same features imma be a lot poorer 😆 A nice scale RTR Disco 1 would be awesome, or a more buget friendly Series (though I'm still sorely tempted to bankrupt myself for a Boom Racing)
just subd, also just made the purchase. My concern watching your video is the body locking system looks like it would make installing a servo winch hard and neither bumper look like they made room for an external winch. is there room for routing the winch line for a servo winch like the boom racing muscle winch? I can always slot a hole in the bumper even tho looks like you would have to go where the license plate sits. I am pretty excited for this as I also own the RGT Rescuer LC76 which does have portals. On the subject of portals you stated this can take the portals from the chevy model, but is the gearing reduction in the transmission the same?
Ah thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😎 Hope you like it once you receive it. 👍 I'm sure you could run it somewhere past the mounting mechanism, but tbh you'd have to just try it as it will depend where you mount the winch too. 👍
@RCAdventurers Yeah, we get everything last in the UK and then have the pleasure of paying more for it! 😬 I was looking on Modelsports website yesterday, they had the FCX10 K5 cheaper than the LC80! 🤣🤦
🤣🤣🤣 Pretty sure I spoke English and the price was in dollars! Do you mean what's it in pounds? If so just convert it as its not available locally in the UK yet. If you're in the UK, Modelsport are showing it 'should' be available from the 21st November. Tbh though, if you're in the UK, may well be cheaper to get it on Aliexpress as we get shafted in the UK on everything! 👍
Nobody wants portal axles anymore thats why they did a straight axle. Fms is the king of scale rc. If you want a portal buggy kids toy go get a axial capra
🤣 Got to love a blanket statement! 🤦 Lots of people like portals. I like FMS, but I think saying they're the king of scale is a bit of a reach! That would be Boom racing, RC4WD etc. 😉👍
I wish I could buy this model in Turkey. unfortunately we can't buy most vehicles due to our ridiculous customs rules and that's why We have to buy the Traxxas TRX4 model from stores in my country for 1.019,15 American dollars.
And if I have to add, the price of the FMS 1/10 FCX10 Chevrolet K5 Blazer model in Turkey is 815.25 American dollars. It is really sad, it was a video that I had only to watch. Thank you, nice video
Here's hoping they do a bigger scale unimog!
Ooooh now you're talking. That would be awesome. 👍😎
This is the best idea
Great video , best running footage of this model I ever seen so far. FMS is putting out some really good stuff lately 👍
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😁
Yeah they're knocking them out lately. 👍😎
Sure am getting that one for christmas! Thanks for the review!
Excellent, make a nice Christmas present. 👍😎
Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍😁
I've been trying to convert my FCX18 LC80 to straight axles, cause I don't like that the wheels stick out like that. But I'm just gonna sell it now and buy this. This one is perfect.
Plus this one will drive right over the FCX18....literally! 🤣👍

Ah thanks very much, I'm honoured. 👍😁
That's awesome on your real one, bet that's super cool. 👍😎
Thanks very much from the UK 👍🇬🇧
You delivered. Excellent video bro. I am really torn between this or the mashigan. There is a sight that still sells the v1 grill for the mashigan too.
Ah thanks very much, really appreciate it. 👍😁
The Mashigan is cool. I love the FMS FJ40, one of my favourite rigs to run. 👍😎
Excellent video mate, thanks for taking the time to show us the pro's and con's of the FCX10, im definitely digging the Toyota body aswell!
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍
For a lexan it's nice isn't it. 👍
It's one I'm interested in as well👌👍😄
Excellent, it's a nice rig. 👍😎
@ 😁👍👌
Ah Jeez, that looks Awesome ! Now to start dropping Christmas hints to the Mrs........😋🤞
🤣🤣🤣 Well it is the season of giving! 🤣😉
I like this one better than the blazer.I prefer the simplicity of this one and the body looks better to me.Driver figure head is a little goofy but that’s an easy fix.Body release much better on this version also
Yeah I much prefer this body over the blazer. I preferred the suspension and portals on the blazer though. Although this one is lovely and quiet. 👍
New FCX10 LC80 from FMS!!!~~~ Thank you for sharing a good video with a nice car! 💯👍👍
Thanks very much mate. 👍😎
Those stiffer shocks seems to work better when driving
Yeah they did much better than I thought they were going too. Still prefer the shocks on the K5 though. 👍
I love it. And I’ll use your link when I order one.
Ah thanks very much mate, appreciate it. 👍😁
Great informative video and nice running video :) Thank you.
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😎
In certain applications lexan is just fine.
Yeah there's some really nice Lexan bodies out there, this one included. I do like a hard body though. 👍😁
Awesome video thank you for the detailed info. It does look awesome
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😎

@@DoURC no doubt about that mate its definitely a screecher hehe 🤟

Stock tyres are decent, not amazing, but good enough for a stock rig. 👍
I can’t wait to slap that body on a TRx4. Awesome video mate.
Thanks very much mate. 👍😁
I bet you could work some wonders with it mate. 👍😎
I hope that can be fitted to trx4 sport,especially on my high trail, we did have a lifted on irl when i was kid
Whats the wheelbase? 313?
@topqualityfi8216 I mentioned the wheelbase 10 mins in when comparing the k5 and lc80! I'm sure you watched it all so already know...but it's 325mm! 🤣
Nice video, sadly only shipped in the US
@rt4796 Thanks 👍
That's only for the pre-order, will be available everywhere else once each local distributor has stock. 👍
Ahh, I can't wait for mine, too badly they had to delay shipping
Excellent, hope you enjoy it and it doesn't take too long to get to you. 👍
Now we need 1/10 unimog,then ill buy fms
Yeah that would be awesome. I'd love an old skool Nissan Patrol. 👍😎
If they do any 1/10 Land Rovers with the same features imma be a lot poorer 😆 A nice scale RTR Disco 1 would be awesome, or a more buget friendly Series (though I'm still sorely tempted to bankrupt myself for a Boom Racing)
Yeah, I'd love a tenth scale classic Disco, or an old skool Nissan Patrol. That would be cool. 👍😎
Could you do a video comparing it to the trx4 - i might buy this but i already have a trx4 so maybe 2 crawlers not needed?
If you are happy with TRX4 this is just unnecessary for you man
@ thanjs
This is more comparative to a TRX4 Sport. Unless you want this rig, your TRX4 will perform virtually the same. 👍
@ yeas true
that truck is really nice 👌👍👍😃
Looks great doesn't it. 👍
just subd, also just made the purchase. My concern watching your video is the body locking system looks like it would make installing a servo winch hard and neither bumper look like they made room for an external winch. is there room for routing the winch line for a servo winch like the boom racing muscle winch?

I am pretty excited for this as I also own the RGT Rescuer LC76 which does have portals.
On the subject of portals you stated this can take the portals from the chevy model, but is the gearing reduction in the transmission the same?
Ah thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😎
Hope you like it once you receive it. 👍
I'm sure you could run it somewhere past the mounting mechanism, but tbh you'd have to just try it as it will depend where you mount the winch too. 👍
I'm not sure on the gearing sorry. 👍
Awesome review. Nice 👍🏾💯🔥
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍
They won’t ship any preorders to the UK, such a pain !
Yeah US only I believe. I believe CML are the UK distributor, so depends when they get them in, as to when Modelsport etc will have them too. 👍
@ yep, I’ve already spoken to a few suppliers but seems like nobody can say just yet. Pity …..
@RCAdventurers Yeah, we get everything last in the UK and then have the pleasure of paying more for it! 😬
I was looking on Modelsports website yesterday, they had the FCX10 K5 cheaper than the LC80! 🤣🤦
Don’t do drugs kids 1:02
And the tires sound like they are to big for the car
🤣🤣🤣 Yep...bad for you...just ask the driver! 😬
Yeah was a fair bit of rubbing, need a higher offset or smaller tyres. 👍
What wheelbase is it? Can't seem to find any information on it
325mm...I said it in the video when comparing the two chassis. 👍
What is the price in English?
🤣🤣🤣 Pretty sure I spoke English and the price was in dollars! Do you mean what's it in pounds? If so just convert it as its not available locally in the UK yet. If you're in the UK, Modelsport are showing it 'should' be available from the 21st November.

Oh wow, I thought we got shafted in the UK, but that sucks! You can't get it any cheaper from say Aliexpress and just pay import fees?
Top😊
Thanks very much mate. 👍😁
Talking of drugs I think the person who cut those front arches was on them 😅
@mattrevsrc3094 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe it was the driver and that's why his face looks like that! 🤣😬
@DoURC 😅
