FMS 1/10 K5 Blazer! It’s here AND It’s GREAT!

[@gabrielbeach5426]

I have to respect FMS for listening to the people, and giving them what they want at a fair price.

[@cole___train5200]

Ordered one for my Fiance. She's going to be so excited! Awesome video, as always.

[@2fmrc]

That’s awesome!

[@rayk141]

Same looking truck Lee Majors had in the show, Fall Guy....Looks sick!!!!!

[@archerash6695]

I love how you explain the important things! Thank you

[@2fmrc]

Thanks! I try but don’t always do the best lol

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah awesome Matt, just ordered the black blazer here watching now

[@michaelchambers8902]

Had mine couple weeks now bashing on it. Very capability an fun rig. Very top heavy in high speed. Rolls alot. So far knock on wood all I've had to do was adjust the end points on a couple of the servo's. It keep poping out of 4x4. But ive done the light mod. An serially thinking about the rwd mod

[@matusknives]

I got the FTX Outback Tracker for our kid for Christmas, and it is a nice car, but today I would definitely pick this one instead. Great video, thank you.

[@ejg4069]

Absolutely incredible video! Love the in-depth reviews where you don't care what others think! Thanks for the honesty + transparency with all of your reviews. Just bought one and am super pumped to get into the 10th scale world!

[@2fmrc]

Absolutely! Really appreciate the support!

[@ejg4069]

@2fmrc Thanks for all of your posts on Facebook! Really helpful in the FCX world!

[@canuckchuck8836]

That truck does look really nice! I love the remote control features. 100% 👍👍 Thank you for putting this together!

[@Rs817t]

Wow that remote is looking nice

[@2fmrc]

It’s nice!

[@Tksperformancerc]

2 minutes in and ordered one and on its way !!

[@2fmrc]

Haha! Love it man! You’ll definitely appreciate this one and have it decked out in no time.

[@Tksperformancerc]

@@2fmrc can’t wait I have been patiently waiting for the release appreciate your hard work and content we need to get back out and crawl soon !!

Went to the Fair Rc live first but definitely watching 2fmrc for the low down on these rigs

[@2fmrc]

Really appreciate it!

[@dellystinky]

Wow im impressed so many features 🔥

[@2fmrc]

It really is an impressive truck!

[@danweiss1371]

Looks good but it’s so close to something we already have in my opinion. We will see how well it’s received. But I do like to see the competition.

[@jesseknoblaugh2630]

Beautiful looking truck! I can’t wait to get one

[@andrewrichey7374]

Back watching again Matt Saturday 12:42 PM got my differential skid plates got them on they are awesome brass and they cover that mechanism I worried about them now

[@stephengutherz3126]

Yo Matt, great video! You did not go over where the kitchen sink was? Man fms has a great platform and apparently they knocked it out of the park with the 1/10.

[@2fmrc]

Haha! Appreciate it. It’s definitely a great truck. Their best 1/10 by far imo

[@hbrc3867]

Good call on that servo no one else pointed that out You have some beautiful areas to crawl and trail out there.

[@SteadfastRC]

This rig is cooler than O.J Simpson during trial! I must have one!

[@TheChadSmithPodcast]

Here from EZBOY RC! Congrats on 20k 💪🏻

[@2fmrc]

Really appreciate it!

[@charlieshankles]

I got one 2 days ago and have been waiting for this video to explain all the features 😅. I'll admit I'm a FMS Fanboy. Can't wait to trail with it this summer

[@Jeremy8778]

Nice! Now I want one to match my 1/18th.

[@archerash6695]

Great video! Just tried to order one to Canada and it won't let me ... not available in my location??? Crazy man. Pssh

[@SivartCustomRCs]

Be interested in seeing if they offer an over/under drive and axle weights.

[@isidrogonzales5289]

Love the review! I always appreciate and look forward to your content. Im curious to see how you personalize this one. I really dig it!

[@RCplamodel]

cool new look, RC with great adventure, always good videos bro👍👍😃

[@GSG-lc5zm]

2spd!? Unlockable difs!? Dig!?... Great looks!? ? What else could you need? AWESOME! 👍

[@2fmrc]

Totally agree! Love this truck!

[@MegaSockenschuss]

A body that doesn't look like a cartoonish toy car for example. What happened to FMS?

[@andrewrichey7374]

Back watching again Matt Just got information my black blazer will be here Monday tomorrow awesome I’m stoked. Don’t care about steering servo always upgrade anyways

[@Gibsonlife573]

What a killer job for a scale crawler

[@jamesgreenwood6959]

There gonna offer a 11 channle receiver for the new transmitter.. it also works with 1/18 & 1/24 model's.. great video as always

[@2fmrc]

That’s great!

[@DeliberateNRandom]

I really like it! RC Review didn't have issues with the servo, and it seemed strong, but he didn't take it trailing. I really like the FWD, RWD and 4X4 options.

[@2fmrc]

Yeah it seems not everyone is having servo issues but I do know of 2 others who have. Still an awesome truck imo

[@DeliberateNRandom]

@@2fmrc Ya. I have a few crawlers. My HPI FJ Cruiser does really well for what it is! Replaced the servo, tires and lined the inner body, and it does great! Clearance and power are the only issues I have against my friend's TRX-4 Bronco, but it recovers on a roll like a champ! I've probably rolled it a hundred times. Headwaters State Park in Montana has some great rocks to crawl, we've had over a dozen people out there at once. Got some nice drone footage of the cliff with everyone in the middle of winter, a couple years back.

[@randall4411]

It looks beautiful on the trail, even with the turd brown paint job .

[@davidcollazo4587]

I’ve had mine for 1-2 months now and it’s great! I did have to change the tires and fix the turning axles though. But other than that, it’s amazing!

[@2fmrc]

@@davidcollazo4587 great to hear! I’ve had great luck with mine as well. Just the servo lol

[@DoubleADay]

I'm going to order a couple of these radios if they can bind to a receiver

[@jmull731]

What model battery are you using I order the truck and need to order a battery but can't find info on battery dimensions. Thanks, Great video

[@2fmrc]

Really appreciate that! I’ve been using these in mine amzn.to/3Pvykmf

[@AgeOrmstad]

[@andrewrichey7374]

I got from mofo RC, Heavyweight brass knuckles do believe they are double shared for the tire rod

[@stefan-norge]

Matt, first class review 👍🏻

[@2fmrc]

Really appreciate that!

[@FarmerFpv]

Another portal axle crawler? I hope they're going to make a portal delete kit? Other than that. That thing is bada*s! I will be adding it to my collection even though my garage and two bedrooms are full of RC shelf queens. I'm waiting for the new primal RC Raminator to come out. Have you heard anything or seen any pictures?

[@fuznav1]

Is the battery purchased separately, or does it come together?

[@2fmrc]

No you’ll need a battery. It don’t have one included. These work great in it amzn.to/4abAIXs

[@andrewrichey7374]

I ordered today the skid plates for those Matt

[@PC_MO_RC]

Great honest review, now I want one. Lol

[@2fmrc]

Thanks! I try to keep it as honest as it comes! It’s a great truck. So far I’m loving it!

[@pandapoo5002]

How long did it last on the 1500mah battery?

[@Bonitacreekrc2]

Looks great, Seems like there is alot to go wrong though

[@mikemangiameli561]

I would do what I do to every truck just some brass diff covers

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

I'm buying one

[@arni7810]

Great!!! But i wish it had a hard body shell with functional doors and an interior to add a 6 to 7inch action figure's inside like a driver..sad it doesn't have an interior 😢😮

[@2fmrc]

@@arni7810 they actually released an interior for it! It kind of has a driver built into it but it’s still pretty cool. FMS K5 Interior! Free in July?! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKSTXpisjZapas0

Bring on the LC80 version!

[@OkieDokieBoi]

YES, PLEASE‼️💯🤙🤘

[@MichaelMcClung-et8nk]

Yes if your just getting into trail trucks the fcx10 should be your 1st pick! It's definitely loaded! But for the tried & true enthusiast!? Put it on the list!!

[@aaronhouser3711]

I have an orange landing tomorrow.

[@d_n_r_rc_racing2449]

So in other words...this thing wont break a sweat for someone like me who mainly trails.

[@2fmrc]

Not at all!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Oh man you kidding me, the steering servo right off jump Street dang it

[@nedreck]

I had the Black one ordered before the video was even over, haha

[@2fmrc]

Nice! Hope you love it!

[@Steve_J81]

I ordered one in black and, before it ever sees a trail it's getting swapped for a Hobbywing Fusion Pro that was purchased for a different build that it didn't end up working for. As nice as the RTR transmitter looks I will be swapping it for my Rc8x ( I prefer all my rigs to be on the same transmitter) The final out of the box mod will be to disable the stupid turn signals, if they where selectable by the user from the transmitter they would be ok but them being automatic is a Chinese rc fad that needs to die.

[@2fmrc]

Yeah I’ll probably disconnect those signals as well. I normally throw everything on my rc8x but it’s nice to leave some trucks on other transmitters just cause I let a lot of people borrow trucks now and then when out lol

[@Steve_J81]

@@2fmrc Yeah no one but me drives my pure performance crawlers, when It comes to trail trucks I have a beat to hell SCX10iii that I lend out.

[@byrddmann0113]

I have both the Atlas 4x4 and now the FCX10 Chevy K5 Blazer, the Blazer is way better. It handles & drives incredibly well.

[@2fmrc]

@@byrddmann0113 yeah it’s a major improvement over the atlas!

[@byrddmann0113]

@2fmrc I'd like to see #fms rectify the problems with the Atlas 4x4 or just do a V2 as a 6x6. 😉 We can wish can't we ?!?

[@kakapoochie]

The first one of these i got was a complete lemon. Got another one via warranty. The second one has problems from the start with the front diff locking and unlocking. This will be the first and last time I purchase a 1:10 scale from them. Too many issues from the start.

[@2fmrc]

Dang! Hate to hear that. So far this truck has been great for me besides the servo lol. I do feel like normally their 1/10s are a little more prone to issues but this one has been quite a bit better for me.

[@GSG-lc5zm]

Just needs Colt 😉 well, besides a servo

[@wolfkingsigma2795]

Can you connect an engine sound box in this truck?

[@2fmrc]

With the esc & receiver being all in one I’m not sure you could. I know the ESS sound system plugs in using your esc wire which there isn’t one on this truck so unless changing out the esc etc you couldn’t.

[@wolfkingsigma2795]

@@2fmrc thank you! i think traxxas is the only one you can.

[@daylightdies7194]

so assuming its £400 hear i's a disappointment to know you have to replace a servo straight of the rip

[@matthagen5021]

Price?

[@ChrisP576]

$399 pretty crazy for what you're getting tbh

[@RabbiJesus]

It’s great you got one. But the bed is so ugly. Just lose the top and make it a pickup.

[@archerash6695]

I think it might be just your truck with a bummed servo. The other reviews seemed fine.

[@2fmrc]

I know at least 2 others who got them and had issues. It won’t last long lol

[@nedreck]

@@2fmrc I went ahead and ordered the Shift RCS XB + Rugged Horn; that was another $100 and we're still way under what it would cost to build out the VS4-10 Falken.

[@jasontetkowski496]

Wow I've never seen a stock servo that was so horrendously inadequate

[@ToGrimmToWin]

big downfall is the esc/rrx combo in it. love the radio but a radio box and a separate esc would have ben better

[@2fmrc]

Yeah I agree. Luckily they are going to sell receivers to work with it. So if we wanna switch the esc but keep the transmitter we can!

[@kel5944]

I’m not excited about the rx/esc combo, but I’ll give them a pass for the overall cost.

[@2fmrc]

Supposedly they are going to offer a seperate receiver for the transmitter also. So if you swap out to a fusion or something you can still use the stock transmitter and all the functions. That definitely helps!

[@kel5944]

@@2fmrc that is a nice surprise

[@praetor47]

glad to see the platform is good, but i'll wait for some other body. these square bodies are getting really, really boring

[@reprieverc]

7 month update? Not that you probably get a chance to teally drive all tour stuff all the time 🤣

[@2fmrc]

We ran this one pretty hard. It got a beat down at Beat the Creek this yr. Never had anything break on us or any issues. It didn’t get used consistently like every wknd or anything but it got a few hard runs on it. I actually sold it recently but just because I had so many not getting ran I did a little clear out lol

[@cornfieldcrawlers9907]

The chassis seems okay but FMS really dropped the ball on the cab. The rear is just completely goofy, and wrong. It is marketed and licensed as a K5 Blazer, not a K10 pickup. This looks like neither unless the rear shell is on to hide the bed. I hoped FMS would fix the mistake they made with the 18th scale but they didn`t. Also, WHO WANTS TURN SIGNALS COMING ON WHEN TRAILING???????????? So dumb, very disappointed in this one.

[@jimiwith2eyes]

$10 kiwi more than the RGT EX86190 LC76 🤔 my money goes to RGT which comes with a full interior never been a fan of the American shoe box shaped trucks Toyota is a much better truck for this Kiwi😉 my next truck is going to be the Riaario Croboll Mk07 RC Car 1/7 Off-Road Climbing Vehicle With High And Low Speed Front Rear Differential Lock Transmission!!!! that comes in aty 1/2 the price of a Axial SCX6 🤑

[@Mckhus]

It’s cool but in the end just another rebrand of this trx4 chassis copy that been kicking around on AliExpress for a year. Feels like every China brand comes out with truck on it nowdays and brands as their own. On one hand cool cos trx4 after market fits on other hand super not cool cos stolen design and shady rebrands

[@rcmonger]

Does not look amazing. Portions are off. Great features yes. You say best rtr radio as if you have a lot of brands. Too much guess work for someone that gets things ahead of release.

[@2fmrc]

I do have a lot of brands. RC4WD,Redcat,Traxxas,Element,axial etc. So to me that gives me the ability to know which I prefer. No guess work there 🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe it’s not everyone’s favorite but I’m not speaking for everyone. Just how I feel. Take it or leave it. Is what it is. An opinion
