While companies like Traxxas are trying to sue their way to profits, FMS is out there providing the community what they want.

The thing I really love about FMS is they make very good and affordable vehicles. They enable people particularly the budget conscious to get into the hobby. This is not perfect but the upgrades can be done later, which is actually the fun part of the hobby, with great support and a lot of hop up parts available from them or other aftermarket brands, this makes it possible for the rc community to grow. The scale features on this plus the licensed Toyota badge beat the RC4WD FJ40 by a mile. I am definitely getting one thank you FMS! ❤️

I hope the release will continue in 1/10 scale.....

Those windows are just begging for those black rubber weather strips. Other than that, it looks absolutely awesome!

Ohhh man!! I love the licensed Toyota rigs we definitely need more! Thank you FMS and Great review!

Stunning, and I love it's so big! Mine should show up in a few days. 😍

Wow this is an amazing review! Love how you decided to mod it right away and the mods you chose really made it perform well! Some Impressive crawling for it being so scale! FMS FTW!

Oh, this rig is right up my alley! I need one and I don't care if it is not exactly 1:10 scale. The Mashigan leaf spring kit seems to be a bolt on for this one, too. Great video also! 😊

Man that thing is sweet! They nailed the looks for sure!

Triple Sweet scale crawler.. I've heard they have a 1/10 upcoming and didn't realize they have a licensed FJ body. So cool. Thanks for the awesome review. 😊😊😊

Super cool rig. Great breakdown.

I like and trust your wonderful reviews. Wow FMS is the jewel of the RC market. I already have Jeep YJ and Hilux from FMS. They are brands that make great cars and offer them at reasonable prices. Most of the motors, transmissions, and tires that you upgrade are not a problem. FMS!!! I'm rooting for you!!!

I bought a hobbywing fusion pro. OMG! it's amazing. Maybe it was bad settings of stock trx4, but when braked on slope, it had a little neutral changing direction and would run away a little. But tested Pro on a measured 35 degree angle. And the brake, direction change is solid. The slow speed is fantastic. Not even used the tuning card yet. But a stunning upgrade. Totally in love with my crawler right now.

Thanks for the detailed review Francis! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Great job! Ordered mine yesterday 😄

Im a sucker for a good FJ. This thing looks killer. Going to have to grab one and see what I can do. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice video mate, much appreciated. Can't wait to get them in Australia.

Very nice and great detail!👍

It's about time we got a big boy JDM machine! After seeing what people have done with the Mashigan, this FJ going to be an awesome canvas.

That truck is gorgeous 😮

Got mine today, the truck is amazing, it reminds me of Christmas morning when I was 10 and the yellow paint is perfect. Replaced the stock esc because it kept lurching forward. Put a Hobbywing 1080 in it, not sure if I should set the BEC to 6.0 volts to protect the lights and the steering wheel servo. Want to get more scale wheels and tires. Then pop some My Trick RC lights and light controller and I'm good to go, until I put a Hobbywing pro in it.

It's beautiful. And big. More like 1/7 scale based on actual vehicle dimensions. It did better on the rocks than I expected. Reasonably priced, too.

Good job FMS, pretty scale with good performance too!

Oh No Not another Beautiful Beast i must add to my collection , Thanks For a great and Honest reveiw also to FMS for listening to us as we all want the bigger scale 1/10 1/8 1/7 1/6 ill take any of these all day long and some of the old school 1980's Trucks,Jeep's and 4X4's bring it on FMS

It’s a good looking trail truck for sure…Doesn’t look like much of a crawler though But not bad for what it is and for the price Thank you so much for the review…!!!

I think it’s fantastic

Beautiful truck

What a beauty!

Love it, going to be my next crawler, and it doesn't break the bank, plenty of money left over to make modifications. Unlike the big 3 were you spend 600-700 bucks and still have to modify the darn truck. Keep knocking it out of the park FMS 🙏✝️☮️🏜️ big fan

Really nice.

That thing is massive!!!

Love this Rig. I believe it’s a 1/9 or 1:8. It’s as big as my slash

Nice truck, some old style treal wheels will look great on that 👍🏻

Great looking car. Would have liked to see running footage with the original esc and shocks just for comparisan.

That things a beaut and the silent drivetrain is great! I would probably delete that massive roof rack if possible

Very Nice Hard to resist I like it .... Nice review also

Super cool 👌😋

very nice scaler, yes the body falls out from the chassis dampers too little may be. Ciao e Bravo! Nanni

nice looks for RC Scale. 👍👍👍😋

I would like to see you review the Tamiya mb01:and the bbx from them.

I think I'll have to get one. I just wish it came in the same green as their FJ45, Then it would be a close match to my 1:1.

Great review. Does the top and doors come off on this FJ40 model? Also where did you find the steelie wheels? Also can you run a 1.7 tire on those rims instead of the 1.9? Thanks. Tom

It would be great to see this next to a Machigan, haven't seen that yet. I'm curious as to if they are the identical chassis. . .

legend has it if you say candyman 3x fran's scale driver will show up 😁

Soooo nice 🎉

Take my money, used your link. Thank you

I'm knit picking here but FMS got the color a reversed. I'm old enough to remember the iconic FJ color was the green (salted duck egg) with the white top. Second color would be the sahara yellow like the one in 1/6th Jimny. This golden yellow should be in that old Jimny, that's the original color of the actual old Jimny! Regardless, it's a beautiful truck - all FMS RCs are!

@RCReviewChannel obrigado pela revisão... Seria interessante um comparativo primeiramente original e depois como fez.. embora é de praste que pilotos experientes já alterem o carro de imediato com pneus, amortecedores e eletrônica melhores - fato!! Ao meu ver faltou leds no para-choque traseiro (posso não ter percebido..) e o rack de teto é um item que prejudica o visual do carro.. infelizmente em uma das imagens, a camera mostrando o teto por dentro denuncia muitos parafusos fixando o rack.. isso é grotesco, pois ao remover o rack ficara muitos buracos no teto :( ... Mas nada é perfeito e acredito que o valor é incrível pelo que entregam.. o detalhe da escala nao parece grave🙌

I want that!!!

What about the gear and Differential? 2 Speeds and locking Diff?

I am looking for something to mount a Lexan FJ60 body onto. This has potential.

Can you add a link where you bought the wheels and tires, I would really appreciate it

I do wish they would get the scale straight cause this would have been awesome for my 6 inch figures.

Love it, just wish it was actually 1/10 scale. Another great review/video 👍

RC4WD FJ40 also looks big, I wonder how they both compare in size.

Anybody know if you mod the grille to the square style? I have a full-size BJ42 (right hand drive) in Mustard yellow and I want to use this rig as a base for a tiny version.

Hi. Could you tell me what size driver you have in this please. 7 or 8 inch? Thank you very much 🙂

How does it compare in size to the fms jeep Willy’s

I was trying to remove the roof rack and just can't find the right Allen driver to take it off. 1.5mm seems loose, 2mm is to big, and tried 1/16th. I hate asking this, but wonder if anyone else has had this problem. Thanks

But is it equipped with full locker diff or differential?????

I just got mine today. Its my first 1/10 and I don’t have anything to compare it too. Apparently its bigger than 1/10.

Put some Vanquish aluminum F10t axles under that thing, a Fusion Pro, some decent shoes on it and it would be absolutely awesome!

wow i may have to purchace from fms and put as many axial parts underneath it

What is the recommended battery pack for this model? I bought one but battery was not delivered. Is that it?

Nice FJ! Needs the spare tire to look right!

This is a steal for $350.

hi, how to set up drag brake?

I’m in the market for a crawler and while this is absolutely beautiful and within my price range I think I’d be too scared of damaging that body to really drive it

What size battery did you go with?

Do you think 2.2 tires will fit this truck?

👍

Wow!!! What an amazing deal!! I need one of these now. I can’t believe you can get all this for that price. Functional hood, doors, rear door and seats fold up??!! Is this only available through fms currently?

Between the fMS fj40 redcat gen9 and redcat Montecarlo i'm really thinking bout them

Excuse me, what kind of battery does it use?

The ESC it comes with is terrible I thought something was broken. The sudden stop and go with those soft shocks is crazy.

What battery do you recommend?????

Can someone link some black steelies for this thing? Thanks.

The nice thing about traxxas is you can easily figure out a battery and charger on their website..I went to buy one of these FMS Toyotas and there is no battery or charger that’s sold…

Think it could be painted without too much difficulty?

🤔🤔🤔this one or the rgt ex86190?

very nice will the body fit scx10 ii or 3 ? also can you buy the body by itself

Sweet! Could use a sound card.

May i know..the car body is made up with plastic, fibre or steel? Or same as traxxas

Francis you did not read the sign to see how low the bridge was 😂

I really want to order one of those, is the driver on yours 1/6 scale?

After I calculated, I think the scale ratio is more like 1:8

What's up with the front Toyota logo flashing? Is that just your camera missing it with the lighting or is it actually a light that is cutting in and out

Tenth-scale my a$$, lol! Great looking rig, amazing attention to detail. That body roll though, excessive, even for a scale rig. You know that song, "Wiggle it, just a little bit", this aint it! 😂 Thanks for the review! 👍

The widows roll down.

The FJ experts can correct me on this but the only thing missing from the outside appearance is manual front hub locks. I seem to remember alot of these having that feature. Very similar to the Ford front hub locks from that era. Edward Cruz mentioned black rubber window gaskets and this thing is perfect. Needs a half finished glass bottle of RC cola, a bag from Fosters Freeze on Dey La Vina street on the passenger seat and a Powell Peralta skateboard in the back. Someone knows what/where I'm talking about.😉 Also again thank you for a great review.

Andai axial juga memilih RC hard body 😢

Me looking at my RC4WD land cruiser fj40 I got robbed didn't I lol

So definitely a pure trail vehicle,about how much does it weigh?

It looks 1:8 not 1:10 awesome suv

1st🎉

Nice detail, but its way too big. The shocks are really bouncy and the springs too soft making it sway a lot. It doesnt move properly, ruining the scale look as soon as you drive it.

Its not 1/10. More like 1/6

@RCReviewChannel the ONLY reason they call it 1:10 scale is cause so many in the US complained when FMS put the TRUE scale of 1:6 on the box of the MB Scaler, and the LC10 Jimny. "Its not 1:6 scale its 1:10 scale" echoed out of the US community like you would not believe, SO when the Mashigan came out they put 1:10 on the box.........NOBODY COMPLAINED ANYMORE!!!

@RCReviewChannel I am curious if you have the brand of the figure you used, or images of it. One sixth is my primary hobby, RC is secondary. I purchased the Jimny thanks to your reviews. I was looking at the Mashigan, but I'm more intrigued by this FJ40 now. But I need to know what kind of figure it can house and if the figure has to be amputated first.
