FMS FJ45 - One great looking Supermodel!

Жыл бұрын

FMS recreates one of my favorite trucks, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Pickup. It's definitely one of the finest 12th scale RC truck bodies I've seen in a very long time. Spring-under leaf springs, functional tailgate, removable top and doors, this one has it all if you're looking for a finely crafted model. Is it a great RC though? Watch and find out.

@VermontScaleCustoms Жыл бұрын

WPL calls their FJ45 (C34 & 44KM trucks) 1/12. This appears to be closer to 1/14, if I had to guess.I’d be interested in getting one of these but I already have a decked out C44KM in virtually the exact same color. And it crawls like a champ for its size. The FMS is a great looking truck. They did it right. But I’m just not sure I’ll put the money into one right away.

@RCTNT Жыл бұрын

What a great little C44KM! Er, I mean, FMS. I love it! (Steering wheel looks overly large compared to the other cab details... kinda hard to un-see that, really. But otherwise, love it). Nice job, Matt!

@YoShImUrA53 Жыл бұрын

I wasn't sure and checked some FJ40 cabin pics, and the wheel might be ever so slightly bigger than it should, but maybe not as much? These older 4x4s had quite a big wheel, as they would (probably) not be designed for power steering, and a bigger radius helped with the effort made to move the wheel =)

@YoShImUrA53 Жыл бұрын

Still, what an awesome rig from FMS, yet again. I do want to get one, even though I also own the C34KM and C44KM from WPL... =D

@RCTNT Жыл бұрын

@@YoShImUrA53 true, and even the 60 series I learned to drive in didn't have power steering, though it had a smaller wheel than in the 40s. The 40s I've been in do have a bigger wheel - I see at least one most weekdays round these parts - but the one in this model is almost comically large! No big deal, just a big wheel.
