I just received mine and would like to send out notice that as of my purchase date of 10/24 it comes with clear windows and a nice full-length interior already installed. I got in on sale for $149 and free shipping Hong Kong to Japan. I have some Inora upgrades coming so looking forward to a lot of fun crawling,
3:14 Wheelbase should be the same across the entire lineup; Rochobby Katana, EazyRC Patrion/Patriot, FMS LC80 and this latest FCX18 version because it is the same hardbody. The track however, is super wide due to the over-wide portal axles.
Yeah it's a much better rig out the box and better value for money imo. 👍 Only main downside to the FCX18 vs the TRX4M is the FCX18 isn't fully waterproof.
Yeah I have the gray one on the way, I have three other K5 Three of the smashers first thing I did is relocate the screws to the back of the housing for better steering. Can’t wait to get mine it looks so good. Appreciate the video I’ll be watching for more
I'd say the FCX18, I think with the metal chassis and the battery up front, it makes a difference to the out the box performance. I think the FCX18 has more overall potential than the FCX24. 👍
I just ordered the yellow one im very excited to get it cant wait lots of footage will be done with it 😁👍 but because of the mid autum festival in china atm i wont be getting mine right away gonna have to wait a few days before they send it to me other than that im very pumped to get it
Awesome, I really like the look on the yellow one. They're all really nice colours aren't they. The blue two tone has really grown on me. Hope you enjoy yours. 👍😎
@@DoURC yes the two tone is very nice i just wanted something bit more different and i have two blue rigs already so yellow should stand out between em hehe and thanks i will definitely be enjoying it but i just gotta wait a while before i get mine hehe
@NWrcadventures Yeah that's fair enough. I think the yellow is a nice colour. 👍 I'm looking forward to adding some accessories to mine and doing a few mods. 👍
@@DoURC ohh yeah im all about mods and scale accessories on my rigs i have the trx4m high traill and i decked it all out to look like an overland truck its looks amazing if your curious of how it looks i did post a video of it recently on my channel i think it looks great as i fixed it im very happy with it and its been a very solid little truck for me just like my trx4m defender i have just taller 👍
Great review video! This thing is sweet. Looking forward to getting my hands on this. Yes different tires and weighted wheels would make this a beast. Would you go with a taller tire? Anyway nice vid! Well done sir. 👍🏼
Thanks very much 👍 Check out my Mini Crawlers playlist, I've got upgrade videos in there plus free mods you can do. 👍 It's a great little rig with brass wheels and decent tyres. 👍
I don't, I'll check them when I look at the shock oil, won't be until next week though as need to do a few things with it first. It could be the shock oil weight though or even the o ring potentially. I'll find out soon enough. 👍
Awesome, hope you like it. Check out my upgrade videos in my Mini Crawlers playlist. I've tested a few different tyres now and got a video on free mods. 👍
I think the wheels are vented. They're pretty decent tyres out the box, but could definitely be better. I'm going to switch to some Injora tyres I think with brass wheels. 👍
Soon, it will be mine. In yellow. It looks quite stiff on its suspensions. O-ring in the shocks act as a brake, i think. Don't you think a no-oil shock system (same as on the FCX24) would work better than this new one ?
Awesome, hope you enjoy it. The shocks are a bit hard. I'd still say better than just friction shocks though. I don't like friction shocks, too bouncy and less stable. If the o ring is lubricated it shouldn't cause issues. It's either the shock oil they've used or sping stiffness. I'm going to take mine apart soon to see. 👍
@@DoURC Thanks 👍 I just got it yesterday. I tried switching the running mode on the transmitter just like you suggested but it doesn’t have any change on the lights. Changes the drive mode only.
Not with the esc but with the power switch. The switch isn't waterproof, so if you've ran it in water and it won't turn on, I'd bet your switch is sticking. I deleted my power switch, do it powers on like a trx4m, as you connect the battery. No more issues. 👍
🤣 Excellent, it's an awesome rig, check out my Mini Crawlers playlist for some free mods you can do. 👍 If you'd like to support the channel you can use my referral link in description. 👍
@Jay-ws7tv If you watch my comparison video you'll see the fcx18 walks all over the trx4m out the box, plus is much better value for money. Imo the FCX24 is better than the trx4m as well. I've got upgrade videos and running videos in my Mini Crawlers playlist too that will give you an idea of what they're all capable of. 👍
I wouldn't say they're 'that' fragile. I've been rougher than most with mine, mudded them, rock crawled them etc and broken nothing on any of all 3 of my FCX18 LC80's. Imo the key is knowing when to stop. People tend to keep pushing them when they're bound up on an obstacle etc and then wonder why they break! 🤦 But yes, metal shafts and gears is a good idea, although mine are still all stock with no issues. 👍

Ah excellent, good to know and thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoy it. 👍😎
Man it looks so good out there on the trail, I’m stoked about getting mine. I sure appreciate this video. I’ll be watching for more
It's a great looking rig isn't, really happy with how it looks and performs tbh. 👍
Thanks very much for watching and commenting 👍😁
Love the blue colour! Amazing scale rig! Better with the new FCX chassis and 2 speed tranny! FMS is doing everything right for us hobbyists!
It's really nice isn't it, really like the two tone. 👍
Yeah they're knocking them out atm aren't they. 👍😎
Yeah right on love the oil shocks, Yep I’m here watching 7:20 PM Thursday looking good out there
Thanks very much mate. 👍😎
That was nice over the second route, I’m back watching Again
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😎
Great review. Cheers from Canada. Waiting for mine to arrive.
Thanks very much 👍
Excellent, hope you like it. 👍

Yeah, this is much better than the original ROCHobby LC80 or the EazyRC models though. 👍
I watched a video for the TX4 and the FCX18 head to head and the FCX18 spanked the TX4 right from the boxes.
Yeah it's a much better rig out the box and better value for money imo. 👍
Only main downside to the FCX18 vs the TRX4M is the FCX18 isn't fully waterproof.
I got the gray one it is awesome, got to go to a event with it had a great time the great lakes Gauntlet at Walters RC park here in Michigan
Ah awesome, glad you like it. They're really good out the box aren't they. 👍
Yeah I have the gray one on the way, I have three other K5 Three of the smashers first thing I did is relocate the screws to the back of the housing for better steering. Can’t wait to get mine it looks so good. Appreciate the video I’ll be watching for more
Awesome, the grey one looks nice. Yeah I'll be doing the same on the screws, got to love a free mod. 🤣👍😎
you were rite about waiting for this one before buying a trx4m or fcx24, this looks amazing and my choice has been made, thanks so much. 😃😃
No problem at all, happy to help. For me this is a much better scale than both and is a really good rtr. 👍
Besides the scale side of it do you prefer the fcx18 or fcx24 for the price
I'd say the FCX18, I think with the metal chassis and the battery up front, it makes a difference to the out the box performance. I think the FCX18 has more overall potential than the FCX24. 👍

@@NWrcadventures Nice, I'll check it out. I'd like a high trail at some point. 👍😎
Great review video! This thing is sweet. Looking forward to getting my hands on this. Yes different tires and weighted wheels would make this a beast. Would you go with a taller tire? Anyway nice vid! Well done sir. 👍🏼
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍
I think I'll stick with the same tyre size. I'd like to bring the ride height down as it's too high stock imo. 👍
Great video. Just hadine delivered today .Yes the wheels and tires need ha ginger 👍🇨🇦👍
Thanks very much 👍
Check out my Mini Crawlers playlist, I've got upgrade videos in there plus free mods you can do. 👍
It's a great little rig with brass wheels and decent tyres. 👍
Do you know the diameter and length of shock spring? Need to find a softer spring for sure.
I don't, I'll check them when I look at the shock oil, won't be until next week though as need to do a few things with it first. It could be the shock oil weight though or even the o ring potentially. I'll find out soon enough. 👍
Just ordered one of these little beasts. What wheels and tyres would u recommend as an upgrade??? Mud etc
Awesome, hope you like it. Check out my upgrade videos in my Mini Crawlers playlist. I've tested a few different tyres now and got a video on free mods. 👍
M getting one same color..cant wait for it to reach qatar♡
Excellent, hope you enjoy it, they're great RC's.
I wonder if the tires are vented, if they ain’t I’m going to vent mine see if it makes a difference.
I think the wheels are vented. They're pretty decent tyres out the box, but could definitely be better. I'm going to switch to some Injora tyres I think with brass wheels. 👍
Soon, it will be mine. In yellow.
It looks quite stiff on its suspensions. O-ring in the shocks act as a brake, i think.
Don't you think a no-oil shock system (same as on the FCX24) would work better than this new one ?
Awesome, hope you enjoy it. The shocks are a bit hard. I'd still say better than just friction shocks though. I don't like friction shocks, too bouncy and less stable.
If the o ring is lubricated it shouldn't cause issues. It's either the shock oil they've used or sping stiffness. I'm going to take mine apart soon to see. 👍
After watching your video, I also think it looks to stiff. Probably going to drain the oil out of my shocks, when my yellow one arrives...
@patrickhubscher3719 Yeah hopefully it's just the oil. The springs are wider than the FCX24 springs as well, so hopefully they're not too stiff. 👍
very nice 👍
Thanks very much mate 👍😁
Kool ..that esc wine i thought dogs were going to show up 😅
🤣🤣🤣 Yeah they are a little noisey, especially in first gear. The FCX18 with the bigger motor is quieter than the FCX24 though. 👍
@@DoURC nice ya my fcx24 Doug never gets ran its loud and the slop in the drivetrain make crawling a hot mess lol
how do you clean them without destroying it?
Just rinse them off at home with a garden hose. Got a video on my channel of how I clean my rigs. 👍
Im geting that one to!!
Excellent, its a great little rig. 👍
Does anyone know a work around to get the tail lights to stay on with the headlights? I only have reverse, brakes, hazards.
Have you still got it in forward, brake reverse mode? If so switch it to forward, reverse and that should sort it iirc. 👍
@@DoURC Thanks 👍 I just got it yesterday. I tried switching the running mode on the transmitter just like you suggested but it doesn’t have any change on the lights. Changes the drive mode only.
is there a website that I can find different wheels and tires and other parts for this rig any help would be great
Haven't I answered this question for you like 3 times already? 🤔
Injora, RCAWD, LGRP, Aliexpress 👍
I can only find these for pre-order atm where did you get yours from?
FMS sent me mine, so I got it early. Think only their US warehouse has it available atm. 👍
Did you have a problem with the esc after it got wet?
Not with the esc but with the power switch. The switch isn't waterproof, so if you've ran it in water and it won't turn on, I'd bet your switch is sticking. I deleted my power switch, do it powers on like a trx4m, as you connect the battery. No more issues. 👍
Does it come with 2 battery’s out of the box?
No just one, but one battery will last about an hour. 👍
nyse lc80 coool😎👌🤝
Thanks very much mate 👍
@@DoURC 👍🎶
Only if they disable the silly turn signals
🤣 Yeah I'm not a fan either, you can have hazards on or just turn the lights off. 👍
the car so good it verry nice,i like
Thanks very much. 👍
It's really good, definitely one of the best rtr mini crawlers right now. 👍
Im sold.
🤣 Excellent, it's an awesome rig, check out my Mini Crawlers playlist for some free mods you can do. 👍
If you'd like to support the channel you can use my referral link in description. 👍
Better than the TRX4m??
Without a doubt 👍
Got a comparison video in my Mini Crawlers playlist running them head to head. 👍
@@DoURC I’ll check it out right now.
@Jay-ws7tv Awesome, enjoy and thanks 👍😎
Everyone is saying TRX4m over scx18 and Vice versus I just can’t get a straight answer
@Jay-ws7tv If you watch my comparison video you'll see the fcx18 walks all over the trx4m out the box, plus is much better value for money. Imo the FCX24 is better than the trx4m as well.
I've got upgrade videos and running videos in my Mini Crawlers playlist too that will give you an idea of what they're all capable of. 👍
The springs are a little too stiff for my liking
Yeah be nice if the suspension was a little softer. 👍
Just change the oil that's in the shocks and that will fix that problem
Stock?
Yeah
Top review 👍🏻
Thanks very much 👍
Awesome bro👍👍👍👍
Thanks very much mate 👍
Bro is this car water proof
No, but I've found the power switch is the main issue, delete that and no issues. 👍
VERY fragile shafts. It took me 10 mn to break it, using it in my flat. If you want to buy one, order a metal kit too
I wouldn't say they're 'that' fragile. I've been rougher than most with mine, mudded them, rock crawled them etc and broken nothing on any of all 3 of my FCX18 LC80's. Imo the key is knowing when to stop.
