In this video we run and review the new FMS FCX24 1/24 scale Unimog! This truck features a fully licensed Mercedes Unimog body with excellent scale details like we've come to expect from FMS. The body sits on top of the tried and true FCX24 chassis, giving us a great set of performance features to back up the great looks!

Nice review, and I like that FMS is putting oil filled shocks on now. The best part of the review is your son's great laughter 😃 at the end!

I love my FMS K5, and this one is the best release on the Fcx24 platform yet. FairRc has something cool in the works no doubt.

This could be a good start for a mud bogger build

It’s literally already a bogger right out of the box. Threw some brass copies of the wheels on mine, and now she can run through any amount of water or mud.

Found your review really informative. I've been looking at this unimog for a while now & all the reviews seem to be good. Think it's buy time 👍

Wow the most realistic and best performing mini Mog i think! I hope for a longer wheelbase and maybe a 1:10 scale in the future too ! Very nice Review!

Really enjoy your videos and your budget $100 series. I recently picked up the Austar AX 8560 shipped for around $60 for me an my son to tinker with. I have watched multiple videos on this and it seems to be the new budget king. Would love to see how this stacks up against your other builds on your course at roughly half the cost as some of these others SCX24 and TRX. Thanks!

Got prettry much all the FMS 1/12, 1/18 and 1/24 models and I am very disapointed on this drivetrain performance. While it is strong it is too much sloopy, the car moves itself 3-4cm to front/back while stationary. When going up/down obstacles this makes the car feel strange and not stable. I noticed most of this is related to the portal axle, but also from the plastic driveshaft and some portion from the 2 speed tranny as expected. The shocks also feel too stiff. Did you noticed these?

@AndyT0918 9 ай бұрын

I see you lost both your spotlights already. I almost lost one, it broke off inside yesterday being a little rough on it. Lucky me my 2 year old brought it to me when he found it on the floor. Glued it back on. Love this truck, best scale body they have put out

@matthewstanfield5925 4 ай бұрын

I had the same question and just thought I’d reply on this thread in case tonsoffun49 had the same idea, but if I bought this, I would want to quickly get rid of the motor and ESC and receiver. Did that on my FCX24 PW and still have tons of trouble fitting the Furitek lizard pro, receiver, and Komodo motor in the power wagon. There’s just no room. I want to buy this Unimog in the green especially and want to do the same Furitek upgrades. Do you think it will all fit in the chassis, under the cab, and under the hood?

I love the Unimog, was common here since my childhood. Will skip this though and stay with my SCX24s. The bad performance (in comparison with a modded SCX24) and howling sounds kill it for me.
