I have the 1:24 Fms FCX24 Max Smasher, Monster Truck. It's a full blown Big Foot replica thats why i bought it, its identical except for name maybe there was licensing issues. It also has 2 speeds, a 130 motor, metal gear portal axles, really soft monster truck tyres with no foam, they've excellent grip & Diffs are open. Its more than fast enough & comes with bag of O-ring for suspension so the shocks must be able to hold oil if filled

Lots of potential here, I really think it can be a game changer! My only concern is that FMS has a reliable distributor with good parts support (I'm sure the aftermarket will come to the rescue, as well) That being said, looks like FMS has raised the bar in 1/24-scale! 👍

I agree. Aftermarket support will be a big factor in it's success.

This is the first "1/24th" scale to have the features of both portals aaand a two-speed, but either features were already available on the Panda RC Tetra24 X3 and Kuro King 1/24, respectively =)

@georgivoyvodov1123 Жыл бұрын

One of the best in 1:24 scale. Well, the wheel base could be a bit longer, but it runs well as it is. Only thing I've modified so far was to load the both axles with some lead plates to drop down the center of gravity and to increase the grip.

can you run more than one at the same time? With budget models sometimes, though 3 colors are available, the ability to run them simultaneously isn't always there. with 2 boys and i in the house, it could be fun to have Yard Competitions

@OGMikey. 2 жыл бұрын

The truck has potential but the weak parts are the axles and electronics. The portals and diffs are plastic. Adding weight with tires, rims, and actual weights will torture these axles.This and the cheap electronics are known failure points in FMS and its sister companies. Also the steering set up seems very weak. Hopefully the aftermarket comes hard at this vehicle to improve it. But it's a great intro rig into 1/24 (but the size is actually 1/18).

@MakeItRC 2 жыл бұрын

Good to know. I'm pretty sure metal gears for the axles will be coming out but I'm not sure about the 2 speed gearbox. Solid hop up parts from both FMS and other aftermarket companies will be essential if this truck is going to go head to head with the SCX24, and appeal to the hard core crawler guys. Time will tell.

@OGMikey. 2 жыл бұрын

@@MakeItRC the gear box (at least the one I seen broke down) was all plastic gears minus the motor pinion. That looked like brass.

@999benhonda 2 жыл бұрын

Is it me, or is the body basically the same as on the atlas 6x6, and the tires identical to the mogrich? I like the 2 speed, as we take our fms models to the beach, so there are times that more wheel speed would be nice.

@MakeItRC 2 жыл бұрын

I believe it is. I know for sure the wheels are the same as the Mogrich.

@MakeItRC 2 жыл бұрын

At a glance it sure looks like you could but I don't know for sure. Driveshaft is definitely bigger on the 1/18 scale chassis' but not sure if the pinion shaft is the same size. Haven't seen anyone do it yet though but it would be great if you would put the portals on that Unimog.

Can someone tell me what type of plug is on the battery? It's not JST of PH2. I have nothing like it and would like to make an adapter so I can use my real charger rather than the little thing that came with it. Just received mine and looking forward to testing it out. The body clips are a bit of a PITA, but guess I'll get used to them. Seems like every RC I get has a different plug! Geesh! I wish we could standardize these things a bit so I didn't need twenty different adapters, and/or so limited on the batteries that will work. Also need to know the battery plug type so I can try to find a spare with the correct plug. I HATE trying to swap plugs on these tiny wires!

@MakeItRC 2 жыл бұрын

That's a good question. They're common on micro RC stuff but I don't know the name. Usually searching micro RC battery connector brings them up. I can't seem to find a charger cable that's compatible with these batteries. I have one which I bought years ago but can't find any available online. Weird. Sorry I can't be of more help.
