The FMS Max Smasher was a huge success for FMS. The V2 has a few changes, but this little Mini RC Monster Truck is awesome. Did Traxxas ask FMS to remove the Max from Max Smasher?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for showing and calling out the ESC and transmitter changes. Bought this for Christmas for my little dude and I opened it tonight before wrapping to put some upgrades on and when I went to test...DISASTER! the transmitter and esc would not bind together and no one has the V2 R3A reciever before christmas. saw this video and BAM got the R4A1 reciever and transmitter expedited so fingers crossed there's hope my little dude will have a fully functional monster truck and an upgrade reciever transmitter to boot!!

I do miss the truck battery status light on the transmitter. And it was nice to be able to glance at your settings on the pots and dip switches. But digital/electronic is more precise (if you can remember where you set them). And it has a very nice low battery warning which enables you to bring it in (stop and go) rather than just stop. But the first thing that they should have changed is the IMPOSSIBLE body clips. I had to unscrew the back end to get the battery out. And once the battery was out, I will not remove the body very often. I just moved the battery to the truck bed, with a Molex to JST extension cable...

My Smasher V2 arrives later today. For those that are interested in being able to convert to crawling, is there a recommendation for wheels, weights, and tires?

They don't need to successfully sue anyone. Their goal is to bankrupt competitors with frivolous lawsuits. They don't need to even be winnable if the victim immediately surrenders, that's why it's problematic. Everyone else in the space has to walk on eggshells to avoid Traxxas' patent trolling landmine. That's the whole problem. They are abusing the legal system to maintain a faux monopoly on selling RC cars to stupid people.
