As a kid from the 70's, that had a Camel Trophy Range Rover poster on his bedroom wall in the 80's. These look fantastic, especially the Rover. That washout at 19:02 looks unbelievably fun to wheel. Great times with the kids too!

@johnnyhotshoe1292 8 күн бұрын

I really like the Range Rover and Discovery a lot. The defender 90 has that squashed stubby look like the fcx24 K5 blazer. I dont think it would be as noticeable if fms didn't completely nail the scale looks on the other 3! I plan to get one pre-ordered today, I have it narrowed down to 2. Great overall breakdown and comparison Adam!

This is an excellent review. You did a very thorough job. They look great and have a lot of great features. As you mentioned the scale appearance is outstanding. I think your copilot did a great job and demonstrated what r/c cars are for, having fun. I think I would buy one of then Defender versions for the larger tires.

@@CapeCrawlers You're welcome. After I watched your video I watched three others on the same crawlers. One out of three got better slightly crawling results. The only difference was he used a 900mah battery, which doesn't seem logical to me.

@TYLERLOVESBMX1 5 күн бұрын

With the counter rotating shafts, we wont be able to swap axles with scx24 n old portal style fcx24 axles will we?? Would love to pick 1 of these up and get some aftermarket scx24 axles for it but not sure if that would work

@blaismerchant8582 3 күн бұрын

If there was a way to turn the dif spool the other way it could work but from what I've seen that's not possible the way fms made them. Take this with a grain of salt because I very well could be wrong 😂

@TYLERLOVESBMX1 3 күн бұрын

@blaismerchant8582 been trying to brainstorm, thinking mues straight axle in the front n whatever portal axle in the rear. That would also give it some rear underdrive that could help. Another option i think would just be swapping out the trans for the older style without counter-rotation then proceeding. I think that mix match axles could be cool n different. Regardless im excited to see how people build these up n how they compete.

@cape crawlers..... oh no looks i may have to get one. Do you know when these are coming out? If i heard correct, the range rover did the best? are there parts available for upgrades? thanks from Houston Texas!

@CapeCrawlers 6 күн бұрын

They ship first week of July I believe. They are all so close performance wise. I think the Range Rover or the Defender 110 are the best overall, but the margin is so small

@sethzorzi 6 күн бұрын

@@CapeCrawlers i couldn't wait! i already bought the range rover 😄 The next question is, what about upgrades? the TRX4M was my first RC i got about 4 months ago and its fully upgraded. I was spoiled everything was out on amazon i wanted. Are there parts i can get from the fcx24? (correct me if i am wrong on the car number) or will i need to wait for the specifics? i can do 1" tires and any springs i want, correct? Also, all the shops in Houston i called do not sell any of their products. will this be an amazon only issue? thanks!

Someone mentioned the frame rails are extremely similar to the scx24 rails, meaning the drivetrain could be transferred over. Idk if that's entirely true.

@CapeCrawlers 6 күн бұрын

The rails do look VERY similar to the scx24. I haven't done a side by side of the rails only but they do look visually very similar.

@MrsRabbit8 7 күн бұрын

They are great in some big ways, and crappy in some annoying ways. For me, the most annoying is that if i want to use that very cool 2 speed transmission on another rig (i would buy two right now) then i gotta use their axles. Or throw some X15 or Isokinetic or Super8 or a list of other great axles on it... thats a no go with that transmission. Lame. Their axles are not a great design. Sure, they work fine, but they basically tried to reinvent the wheel with those axles, and if you are going to do that then they better be great.. these are not. I'll wait to buy the body, and wait for someone else to design a nice 2 speed.

does the Furitek fcx24 stinger brushless kit work with this product? I want to know because I am thinking about buying one and want to go brushless with the stock remote. Thanks! Edit: you might think about getting a head mount for your camera to make things easier on yourself.

@CapeCrawlers 6 күн бұрын

To my knowledge the stinger kit does not work, but I can't confirm that. I agree about the camera mount. Headmount or body mount is on the list

@BlackSeaRC 7 күн бұрын

Maybe it is just me but these trucks have a strong toy-like vibe to me. Somehow, the scale realism isn't as good as previous models. Perhaps it is the rather oversized wheels and tyres or maybe it is the chunky black plastic accessories?

@CapeCrawlers 6 күн бұрын

Probably the chunky accessories. The Discovery has a toy vibe because of the painted axe and accessories I feel
