Just ordered one, which means although I watched numerous videos on this when it came out, as I'm sure it is with everyone, as soon as I order a new one, I start re-watching all the videos until it arrives! This is a great review on this one, thank you so much for taking the time to make it.
@@DoURC I like that it doesn't have as much "stuff" as the K5. A friend of mine has the blazer, and some people like all the change in differentials, etc. I'm basic...forward, reverse, left, right, 2 speed and I'm good! So I'm really excited to get this. Been into RC's for a year and a half, started my own channel about eight months ago, but I have been watching you for the entire time!
@TheMindsEye-RC Its a nice rig. I preferred the suspension movement on the K5 tbh and like the idea of the dig function. I don't use the locking diffs tbh, they're just always locked. I think it's great FMS are doing more on the FCX10 platform. 👍 Good luck with your channel and thanks for watching and commenting on mine. 👍😎
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.
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
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❤
Really good review. The coast looks like an excellent RC location. I ordered mine last month from Ali Express. With a discount coupon it was £231 inc delivery. It arrived in the country yesterday so I'm hoping to get it before Christmas. Big thumbs up for this video 🙂👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍 That's a bargain at £231 and a nice early Christmas present. It's a nice rig, I think it would look even nicer with slightly softer suspension though. 👍 Hope you enjoy yours. 👍
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.
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! 🤣🤣🤣
Need it for "wife" 😅, already have the rgt intruder for me and scx10 Basecamp for the kid. Really don't care portals, prefer straight axels for scale look and trailing. Nice review and footage btw, very professional.
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. 👍
Very nice and detailed review and nice filming skill! I bought it actually after watching your video. I have a question and I appreciate it if you could help me. I've ordered a fusion pro 2300kv and as know since lc80 comes with a combo esc-receiver I had to buy new transmitter and receiver too, do I need to adjust end point on 2-speed shift servo with new transmitter? It seems to be a bit challenging for me to know exactly how far the servo horn must travel from end to end to change gears properly and not to damage the servo by over rotating
Thanks very much. 👍 It'll be a beast with the Fusion Pro. 👍 Yeah I'd think you'd need too, as it would have been preset on the stock esc combo. Every transmitter is different tbh, so you'd just need to adjust it until you're happy with it. 👍 I'd start lower so you don't burn the servo out. 👍
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)
@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! 🤣🤦
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 did consider it. Tbh the K5 would win. It's got more ground clearance, lower cg, better suspension plus it has all the bells and whistles. I actually prefer the body mount design too on the K5. 👍
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. 👍
🤣🤣🤣 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! 👍
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. 👍😎

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. 👍
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. 👍

Ah Jeez, that looks Awesome ! Now to start dropping Christmas hints to the Mrs........😋🤞

New FCX10 LC80 from FMS!!!~~~ Thank you for sharing a good video with a nice car! 💯👍👍

Ah thanks very much, really appreciate it. 👍😁
The Mashigan is cool. I love the FMS FJ40, one of my favourite rigs to run. 👍😎
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! 🤣
I love it. And I’ll use your link when I order one.
Ah thanks very much mate, appreciate it. 👍😁
Loving the look of this. Great platform for some simple upgrades. Think is a great price and would be a weapon after a few simple upgrades. 👍
Yeah it's definitely a great chassis. Nice looking body too and I'm so glad they went with the yellow lights. 👍😎

@@DoURC no doubt about that mate its definitely a screecher hehe 🤟
Great informative video and nice running video :) Thank you.
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😎
Awesome video thank you for the detailed info. It does look awesome
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😎
Need it for "wife" 😅, already have the rgt intruder for me and scx10 Basecamp for the kid. Really don't care portals, prefer straight axels for scale look and trailing. Nice review and footage btw, very professional.
Thanks very much 👍
I reckon she'd love at as a Christmas present! 🤣👍😉
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. 👍
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. 👍😁
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

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. 👍
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. 👍😎
Great LC80
They're nice aren't they. 👍
Awesome review. Nice 👍🏾💯🔥
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍
that truck is really nice 👌👍👍😃
Looks great doesn't it. 👍
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. 👍
It's one I'm interested in as well👌👍😄
Excellent, it's a nice rig. 👍😎
@ 😁👍👌
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! 🤣🤦
Now we need 1/10 unimog,then ill buy fms
Yeah that would be awesome. I'd love an old skool Nissan Patrol. 👍😎
Cool 👍👍👍
Thanks very much mate 👍😎

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
It would be great to see shootout between this and Blazer. On the face of it, the LC80 seems less capable. Thanks for the excellent review 👍
I did consider it. Tbh the K5 would win. It's got more ground clearance, lower cg, better suspension plus it has all the bells and whistles. I actually prefer the body mount design too on the K5. 👍

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. 👍
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. 👍
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 😅
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. 👍
Top😊
Thanks very much mate. 👍😁
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?
@@DoURC What I wrote is being deleted, I think I may have written it again.
So annoying that this is US ONLY!
You can buy it elsewhere as well, but may be more expensive as not the FMS sale. 👍
Looks cheap and ugly
@@roosterrc6519 Not sure I agree, but you're entitled to your opinion. 👍
mate it’s 300 usd…that ain’t cheap
Need more context. Define cheap and ugly from a scale perspective.
It looks fine. Weathering effects would help make it look awesome.
