The hooks and cables are brush guards that you run from the front fender to the roof rack on both sides. It pushes branches out of the way so it doesnt scrape up the body and windshield 👍

I believe the wires are brush or bush wires that go from the roof rack corners down to the bonnet or bullbar coners . Only have seen one vid where they where fitted. Great vid thanks 👍

I was waiting for this torture test from you. Nice job and these little guys are pretty tough

when I was a kid, I used to be able to hear the ice cream man siren from like 6 blocks away, takes me back lol Good review, got a good sense of it

Pretty awesome!! Very capable for the size and what they are truly meant to do!! 🙂

These a neat looking scale crawlers. You're the first person I have seen to compare the size difference between the other FMS 1/24 crawlers and these. That was a good idea. Everyone seems to think these are a trail crawlers,, which seems to be true. I watched one reviewer who put in a 900 mah battery in it and it seem to rock crawl better, which makes no sense. He used the Land Rover. They appear to be a lot fun and the detail is great. You gave it a good test without going crash crawling.

I got mine hung up and it broke a tooth off the front axle pinion gear which locked the front axle and then broke the same pin off the UJ that you broke. I'd watch out about upgrading to metal propshafts that just moves the weak link to somewhere much more fiddly to fix. The seller i got mine from sent me a new pinion and ring gear no problem though it's an axle strip job to fit the new one.

The Camel lettering though takes me back to my 80s childhood when Camel cigarettes were King.

This video looks fun, ya sold me on the discovery

Great video! I wanted one of these since I first seen them. Mainly just for the scale looks but now I know they can take a pretty good beating!

I entered to win one of those little fellas with the short wheelbase. If I win it, I'm going to make a mini Mudd bogger with it.

The M stands for Metal as in metal frame, metal diff gears etc. The FCX24 K5 is not really 1/24th it's more like a 1/16th when calculated by width (FS K5 2022mm / FCX24 K5 129 mm). The FCX24M appears to actually be closer to being a 1/24th scale model. I love the looks of the FCX24M's! Can't wait til mine get here.

Cables go from front of hood to top corners of windshield to protect from limbs while on trail.

It does stand for mini! I asked on the fms website and fms confirmed😎

The Disco & the Range Rover are definitely the best ones.! 😉!! 👍 👍 👍

Come to think of it, 2012 always has been a bit of a blur. I never made the connection until this video! 😳

I don’t know why he’s complaining the M mean multi configurable it can go from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive but not back 😂

Brush/bush cables , go from brush gaurd to roof rack. To bad fms was just after arrma in releases ... TAPPED OUT! 🤦 Btw. Update on the link kickback from mojave grom. They said "Dear sir, there is not a program where others get credit for leading customer to buy from our site. Thank you for contacting Horizon Hobby Customer Service ! Sincerely, Bob Customer Service" I had said lead but was obviously talking about your channel and corrected it to link (affiliate link infact) but haven't heard back.

That blaze nice. I love chevys

Not my gig… but looks fun at your house 🤙🏻

These are super cool but I already have issues working on the 1/24 scale RCs that I currently own due to the size of my hands. It’s a pass for me but I do want one.

U need to get a traxxes I’m telling you!

How do you make these little suckers look like so much damn fun?!? I’ll never figure it out 🙄lol

Would you please throw up an Amazon link to the battery voltage tester?

Are they upgradable?

Man. They look extremely cool and I'll get the Discovery as soon as it's available. The only thing that I find super dodgy is how ALL the RC youtubers are reviewing them out of the blue, even when they are still not being sent from any shop. Such evident and huge marketing feels a bit weird, even if the FMS is doing great stuff by any standard.

Hey hey hey no fair you have two and I have none !! Send me one then we will be even !!

Nice vid and comparison! I have the fcs18 k10. It was cool right out of the box. But you know.. currently in full rebuild stage. 🛻😂😂😂
