  • Game on! The race to have the most scale ready to run is on and a newer name to the RC car world FMS is dishing out some pretty incredible scale rigs and their latest is pretty ridiculous on the scale factor. Take a look at the new Suzuki Jimny RC Car. This 1/12-scale 4wd scale off-road vehicle is loaded with detail. Opening hood, doors, LED lights, detailed undercarriage, the list goes on and on. Heck even the steering wheel turns! There’s so much to see on this ready to run. If you like realism in your RC, this is one you have to see!

    It looks absolutely amazing and I think we will start to see a lot more products like this. Really, RC cars have been around a good 40+ years now and it has taken a while to go full circle back to the "scale model kit" on a RC chassis (like the original Tamiya RC cars). It is funny that some manufacturers talk about scale realism, yet still give us protruding body posts, visible body clips and stickers for headlights/tail-lights. This Jimny does it properly and I look forward to seeing what body styles they bring out next.

    Just bought mine's yesterday. I do believe that the steering wheel turns as you maneuver it from left to right.
    Now, if only Suzuki trucks would return to the USA Market with this model, they'd make a killing! The real ones are on back order in most countries.

    A couple of years late here, but just recently discovered this rig and immediately ordered it. 35 days later, it arrived and not only can I NOT stop looking at it….and checking out all the cool features and details, I also couldn’t wait to run it! Had to raid a couple of remotes for the AAA batteries, but ordered rechargeable ones because I plan on having lots of fun with this Jimny. Been enjoying the Xiaomi 16 scale Jimny since late 2020 with good chassis mods, better tire/wheel combo,and a lift to make it a capable little crawler, but this thing makes that seems like a kids toy in comparison! Your review shows off all the key features and elements that makes this awesome in every way and the capabilities outweigh the limitations big time. It’s definitely more trail rig than crawler, but it will be fun putting it through the paces. It’s so perfect and shiny and I want to just run it indoors for fear of scuffing and scratching it all up, but luckily FMS literally has every spare/replacement part needed to keep this thing going and looking great for years to come! Thanks again for a great review on this Jimny!

    I driven of of these, but the real Suzuki Jimny, the vehicle was created for people whom love off roading with a comfortability of a Sedan, but if you are a 6+ in height, you have to adjust the seat,☺️ here in the Philippines, it was a popular vehicle, it even had a Jimny Club, they gonna love this RC version

    Excellent video on an excellent RC vehicle! Thank you for reviewing that one! I bought a Traxxas C8 Corvette at one hobby shop and then I went and visited another hobby shop to see about getting the battery and charger. The guy there did not ask me if I was a beginner or advanced and he wanted to sell me a Lipo battery and charger unit combo at full retail price. I was like okay, this does not sound right at all. I'm Not ready for a Lipo battery yet and I'm not wanting to pay full price. So I said no and I did the longer (and more scenic) drive up to my original hobby shop and they set me up with a Traxxas NiMH battery and ID charger unit and they had saved me $45 dollars too as well. With this challenging and fun hobby of RC vehicles, you got to do your research and go visit various hobby shops and compare prices.
