“What’s on the floor…Episode 1.” 😂

Beautiful. I said the badges were too big for the rear... but the comments said... oohhhhh noooo they are not... well, Im glad you also mentioned it as you are a more credible 'Scale Nerd' than me, so thanks for backing me up 😇

The earlier FJ40 had the upper hatch with the small split doors below. Newer ones had the full split rear doors and upgraded rear lights. This FMS missed a few things, the windshield "catches" on the hood are missing, the antenna is in the foot vent, and the rear side marker lights should be red. I had a brand new FJ40 in 1978... absolutely loved it!

Love that you are enjoying the FJ. You will love it on leaf springs. Single leaf front and main and long in the rear worked out great for me. The shocks don’t hold oil btw.

Boom mic! On the fj40 lol. Awesome video enjoy the vacation!!

I did a mazda rz7 body on my first custom drift body....back fire...exposed inner cooler..roll bars..wing..all that.... When you go to superg and look at their body selection...it's insane at the possibility and potential for customizations....unlimited...

When you get to episode 69 you’ll have to be working on the sand scorcher and Capra for sure! And try not to do too many innuendos along with it…😂 and that Land Cruiser is pretty cool too! I’ve got an old proline bushwacker body (before they got the license if you don’t know, it’s pretty sweet!) on an scx10 i cobbled together, complete with a chassis from an scx10 that had been run over by a 1:1, i call it my salvage title truck! 😂😂

Congratulations on your 60 show! Always a great inspiration und fun time watching your updates on your channel!🎉

Glad to see the window rubber painted on the FJ! Makes a huge difference. I put the leafs from my spare Jimny on mine. I like it much better. Just need to sort some shocks (sans springs). They will have to be fairly short... I also plan on printing some rubber bumpers for the bumpers (say bumper one more time...) 😁.

cant wait to see the weathering on the fj!

Wow, that Toyota looks amazing!

Drift missile yes! It better be Volvo 240 like in the picture then! Aplastics makes one ;)

Excellent. Especially like the bit about the new Landcruiser. The FJ from that era is my favourite too, as anyone who's been to my channel will tell you. Lots of nice details on the FMS to break off and leave as offerings to the trail gods. We need more of that.

FMS going to be big players in the not to distant future

The FJ40 looks amazing , now to talk my wife into letting me have one. Have a great holiday !!

Have a great vacation

Good episode man. Have a fun vacation!!!

I love the fms fj40. The 1 thing I was disappointed about was the holes in the roof when you remove the roof rack. Hopefully knight customs gets ahold of this and makes some inner fenders for this and other parts,lol.

I hope you have a great vacation!

Have a great vacation 👍

I have waaaaaay tooo many Hot wheels and Matchbox cars. The FMS FJ-40 is awesome. Upgrades: RAW 500 servo, big bore shocks 65mm, Mytrickrc headlights, tail lights, 2 light bars and flood lights. New wheels, new receiver and tons of 3d printed 1/6 (1/7) scale accessories. Headlight bulb removal takes a lighter, a scraper, a drill for 5mm bulbs and bulb backing to screw them in.

Sounds like an amazing vacation you are taking! Wishing you a great trip!

Enjoy your vacation brother you deserve it

I'm thinking about getting one of those FJ40's and I'd definitely want to do the leaf spring conversion so I hope more content for it is on the way! 🤓

Enjoy the vacation. Take some time for you and the Mrs...

Reve d rdx chassis is amazing. Just built my first one a couple of days ago and it is like a cheat code compared to my other chassis. Build a Lancia Delta body for your next body. I really like the squared out look for a drift missile build.

Enjoy your vacation! And it better be a Volvo wagon body!

I'm not the only one not to want to use bodies on which I spent a lot of time 😂 Have good time during your vacation.

🤣 Missed that Flying Cars joke the first time time I watched this.

Have a great vacation!

Hope you get a great vacation, can’t say it to many times… such a good show for everyone but of course especially for us scale nerds 👌😍

Heck ya Drifting....A super built

Received my stickers today thanks🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

80's Volvo 242 for drift... there wouldn't be many, and you could put a crystal shift knob in it, too.

U definitely crushed that Porsche, man. Gets all the respect at the track with looks alone lol

Great review! Enjoy your trip with Rebecca! Watch you again soon!!!

Legitimately interested in your other hobbies, or whatever else is on the floor lol. I collect Transformers/Diaclone robots, and breed a few types of freshwater fish. Hope you had a good break, and GO GO MCLAREN TEAM!!

I absolutely love that Porsche! Also, that FJ40 is so fricken awesome! (I think your tires are on backwards though. 🤔) I'd love to get my hands one either of those rigs...or better yet, BOTH! 😂😂😂

I cant wait for more fj40 content!

Very cool content. Your Porsche is amazing! Thanks for the run-through on the fms fj40. It is starting to take shape ❤. As far as the drift body...hmmmm...Pinto wagon all caged out, missing body panels and all.

They really did hit it out of the park with this one! That mustard color is masterful. Really capable rigs I hear as well. Man, you and Gabe From KZfaq channel ; “Make stuff Better “ could be bros Dude. Great overview my friend!👍🏻😎

Oh yeah, please do a 240 drift body!!

That FJ looks amazing.

Reat episode matt, i think the new drift body is gonna be a Volvo or Mercedes. The Fj is super cool, i cant wait for you to do some weathering and add your touch. Have a great vacation

My dad had a '77 Land Cruiser, it had barn doors, pretty sure that wasn't exclusive to Japan, living in Southern California, same place he bought it from. I had to get this one when i saw it, i got the blue one, same colors as dad's '77. The only thing that bummed me out was the back end having the short doors and hatch, especially since it's always popping open! Lol

{Prob... / No Prob. !? 🤔} (1:54) ...Maybe the "not-so-strong" magnets are intentional to allow for the "sah-weet" body/s to "give" upon even light- impact, so the fragile components, like your resin-wing/spoiler, has a better chance of not getting broke or "totalled". "💡" - For a crawler, or trailtruck, I would definetly want/need stronger magnets, but of course, ultimately this depends upon application, as we all know, by experience !! 😉...👌✌️Very nice car !!!!

- I have no idea what new body you will select, but if I got into drifting, besides my Gmade (GS02F) and Axial SCX10 II crawling addiction, I would drift with a Datsun 510 2-Door, from the old... ... (HPI) "Cup Racer" RTR, but I'm not sure that HPI will bring this one "back". 🤔...!!??? ...But it would be stellar if they did !!!! 😀🤞 - I do like FMS's new FJ40, looks pretty darn good !!! Although, I can never get passed the difference of the box-y & flat back-end, 😖 ...where the front looks asthetically pleasing !!! 👍

Hair is on fleek! Have a nice vacation.

That fms fj40 is actually really cool, they done a great job on it and the price is great too. The next drift body will be a Volvo wagon, that’d actually be really cool.

You are so dang adorable! Love your content, personality, sense of humor, face, skills and taste! Now I gotta try to find your IG to creep some vaca pics. Hope you enjoy the time off. Cheers.

Matt have a safe and enjoyable trip, I just might have to check into rehab for SBG withdrawal symptoms

injoy your time off🎉

Volvo wagon drift missile

FMS should make a cucv m1009 with that amount of detail 👌

That Porsche is sick brother nice! 👍🏼

I am so happy you bought the FMS FJ40! I bought one right when they were announced, ripped all the electronics out, and ordered the leaf spring kit. I love that RC4WD tire on there so much I just ordered a set as well. Any suggestions on wheels that are more period correct? I was thinking at taking my first crack at weathering on this truck as well. Will you be using the same method you used on the Landrover? Or the oilbrushers?

I like using velcro instead if magnets on any hardbodies I've done. Much harder to come off (especially while crawling). I have some 15lb outdoor stuff on my scx6 body and can almost lift it with only 3 spots.

VOLVO drift build coming up!!!😮

I was looking at putting a 2 in 1 motor esc. I might have eyeballed it incorrectly, but there may be clearance issues. Also, as far as the functioning louvers go, a WPL has had them. I don’t recall how long it’s been.

Have a great and safe vacation, enjoy!

Have a great time on your trip 🍄. I’m going to Hawaii next week can’t wait 🌈😎✌🏻💨

Matt, nice pre-review of the FJ! Could you let us know where to find that mesh? My LHSs don't carry much of it, and I'm always afraid to buy that stuff sight unseen, fearing I'll get the wrong scale. Have a wonderful vacation!

Wifi on the plane? How'd you get so rich 😅 FMS just keeps getting better and better. Enjoy the vaykay dude

I would love to see that land cruiser with the leaf spring suspension in action

Not expecting those details at $350, the best value scale RTR for what its worth

Wheel and tire choice is an automatic plus for this. Tires are spot on, imo. I assume you're not going for the stock pizza cutters on steels with moon hubcaps look. Good. What leaf spring setup are you going to use? RC4WD? Boom Racing? What's the shock length? Keeping it scale with Bilsteins-ish ones? It will be cool to watch this one over time.

Ol' sticky hands Matt, good morning Matt. Awesome video as always. The Porsche is looking really badass. Keep up the great work your doing

YESS DRIFT MISSLE!!!!

I wanted the FMS FJ40 until I found out how big it is. Im not sure I can buy an FJ that is larger than my Defender, C-10 and Sierra 3500.

pandora ae86 with the inner fender set or the s13

Have a good time in 🇮🇪. Have a guiness for me.

Redcat Monte Carlo body for the drift missile. Even print up a little LS motor with some eBay turbos. Also, are you a big hot wheels collector, and if so, how many do you have?

Try adding some velcro to the magnets

Drift missle… got to go with a jzx100 or some other Toyota chaser. One of the most common missle cars in Japan!

Oh come on, show the Hot Wheels!! LOL 🤣 Have a great trip dude! 🤙🏼

Hope ya holidaying here🤔, downunder Matt ol son😎 its spring and Weather is Spectacular here in Queensland🥵🤣

new body Volvo perhaps I'm getting a 745 for my drifter

If you don’t make a Suga drift middle a thing, I’ll have to start watching WNL through Josh’s feed 😅

I've just ordered one. Thanks for your great video. I'm subscribed. Where do you find your rc drivers figures? I'm in Canada.

Do a hardbody drift build!

🤘

Toyota Chaser? I know you would love a big square Japanese body to thrash

For the new drift body, I'm guessing Volvo 850R (or T5)

Safe travels Matt. Hey one question, what airline are ya flying? Cheers!!!

Somebody needs to tell your sound guy to stop 🛑 photobombing the video with the microphone 🎤 lol 😆 nonetheless always enjoy your attention to the scale details and informative content. Keep up the great work 😊

As a Volvo 240 owner I’m hoping for 240 for the new body

Looks awesome !! Do you know if the leaf spring kit will fit the Willys 1/6 ?

Cool to see whatever you build for a drift car but eventually I’d love to see you do a 350z that’s my irl drift car and I’d love to make a scale of it interested to see how you make it

Please do a leaf spring conversion video on the fms fj40. And weathering video.. and Running Video.

New body: Volvo 240 Yes fms should have put leaf springs on the fj and mashigan from factory due to weight.

The only or first thing I want to change on the FMS fj40 is to move the front axle forward just a little because it’s supposed to be. The only real one that has the axle where it is on the FMS model is the Icon fj and Toyota’s version looks better. Matchbox’s FJ40 does it right btw. I’d also want a little bit of a lift. Idk what I’d specifically need to get to make it happen much less whet it would cost tho.

you should get an Aplastics Volvo 242 body

I have the FMS FJ40 as well and I've been looking all over for those CC Hand (closer to the right size) Emblems. Can't seem to find them anymore. Thoughts?

You should build a Nissan Skyline Hakosuka GTR for your drift body...

4:30 the new body will be a B13 Nissan Sentra.

The new body is going to be a Datsun 510..👌🏻😎

I had said it before if FMS starts coming out with 1/10 scale RC’s all the other companies better take notice. How they pack all those features in at that price is unbelievable. So now that we all see this it’s like ok are the other companies ripping us off? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Porsche needs more low, but looks good. Wanna get the Land Cruiser and put AR60s under it.

I've never owned a FMS product are they any good with basic driving around, fun? I am normally use to traxxas. And I'd like to try out other brands, thanks!
