This is a follow up to our 4 wheel Steering video ( • FCX 24 - The Butcher G... ). We found that SOME FCX do NOT have a center on their channel 3 (Only a left and right). THIS video shows you how to fix that issue! Also, we walk through how to trim and set your dual rate / end points on channel 3 and channel 4!!!
FMS and Fair RC are now offering a TON of replacement parts for the FMS FCX24!! We got some front axles for the Rear Wheel Steering as well as the servo from Fair RC

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. My son recently got a smasher after saving up. After a day of play, I thought we had burned out a transmission servo, because the car wouldn't leave neutral. Turns out, he was playing with the lights (which is the bind button on the lame v2 controller), and now we know that lights on+lights off=ultimate ch 4 trim mode. 😂 I don't know if I would have figured it out without this!

I’m building a custom 6x6 from 2 fcx24s and wanted to ditch the 2 speed so I came up with a pretty clever way to lock the 2 speed and it’s easily reversible, and thanks for the rear steer. This 6x6 is gonna rip!!

Hmmm... Now, I guess the question is, will FMS start shipping trucks with the three position channel three again... I plan to buy another FCX to build out at some point. Keeping my first one basically stock. Just waiting on more aftermarket goodies to come out specific to these trucks before picking up another. So, here's hoping that FMS sees the error of their ways and brings back the three position channel three on future production trucks.

It came from the factory like that or when I was trying to get the lights to work I did something either way i dont have F/R anymore and would love to be able to get that back. I have a V3 radio system not a V2.

Just installed a new motor and trans on new gen LC80. My issue is my crawl gear. High gear works great , I messed with the end points and I can get it into low gear , if I switch back and forth I loose low gear again. I have no idea what’s going on now

@markusludwig6023 Жыл бұрын

What am I missing ... the rear servo never was centered, which would mean that the car never goes straight. Adjusting the horn will not help for finetuning eighter - is there a solution?

I would check your manual to see if there is information on trimming or setting the end points of channel 3. There are just too many versions of this remote.

I have a smasher V2, Im having an issue of the truck working intermittently, if i keep using controls on the truck every 5 or 6 seconds it will work for about 2 seconds then stop again for another 5 or 6 seconds. Totally random. Cant figure it out. I unplugged the servo and it worked the first time i tested but then went back to intermittently working. Also tryed unplugging the shift servo and doesnt work.

Swap out the crappy plastic wheel on the transmitter for one with foam. Most people who are into RC stuff have a few old or unused transmitters laying around. I got mine off of a Traxxas but I think v1 and v2 scx24 wheels work. Oddly enough other FMS wheels will not work.

@TheShopMiniRC 3 ай бұрын

Remote need new batteries? The bind process is simple. With both truck and remote off, hold the bind button and turn on the remote. Then release the bind button. Should be flashing. Then turn in the truck. Should be bound. If nothing is responding, just turn the remote off and then on again.
