They did not disappoint! - $200 Furitek FX118

[@furitek]

Amazing video Matt!!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you Furitek! Nice little truck you made!

[@THERCDOCTOR]

Nice rig guys and, yeah bro nice video

[@JThelen1031]

Honestly, it strikes me as a TRX4m with upgrade chassis rails and brushless electronics. It's honestly a really good deal for $200.

[@ChrisMatthewsKF7WRS]

Yet another Masterpiece! And thank you for the B-Roll! It was an impressive collection of extravagant clips, that outline the Joy that was had, or could be had if we all get ourselves a new Furitek FX118! Thank you Matt for your continuing dedication to the hobby!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Wow! A masterpiece? High praise indeed... have a great long weekend?

[@christophermears7738]

Furitek makes some killer stuff . I just installed a lizard ten esc in my phoenix and I love it

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed!

[@oknights112]

Awesome review. Man that is a steal for $200.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed!

[@matthewcopeland4441]

Excited to see this out! Heck of a value in the market. I didn't know orange was a color option-very cool.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Something must be up with my color LUT. It's supposed to be red!

[@crawling86]

I think you should cut the bed off and make your own🙏

[@rcdriver]

Great video! B-roll mission successful 😄

[@rcmedia9516]

Thank you.

[@thomasbialzik3060]

Very thorough, as always 👍👍. Thanks Mathew❤

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@microcrawlerclub]

So pumped for this rig.

[@caseys_cozy_garage]

This is super cool!

[@Sparroh]

Yup bought it

[@MatthewJorgensen1968]

Just in time for winter comps on the inside where you can stay warm while getting your comp fix...

[@scalebuildersguild]

Exactly!

[@Skeeball1979]

It would be neat to see the steering servo chassis mounted.

[@jwill540]

And a hard body.

[@rcgoodtimes6657]

Shock mount options for days! The body and portals don’t really peak my interest but brushless at that price point is pretty cool

[@scalebuildersguild]

Definitely a good deal!

[@knotical689]

Pre ordered! Not a huge fan of the body, but that's not hard to change. Will be fun to have 2 mini crawlers so my brother can join in

[@scalebuildersguild]

That'll be awesome. Enjoy!

[@jeffmackovitch9987]

Nice review. I just can’t keep up with the releases lately! Just got my EVO CR-18 and THIS Fury has everything needed to update my truck and at a great price! ALSO please do something about that chair! You deserve it! 😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

I know, I know... a new chair is on the list! Thanks for watching!

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

For $200 you're getting a lot in an 18th scale RTR. What would be cool, though, is if some of these RC companies would think about releasing a Dodge Power Wagon at some point. I agree with you, like the Jeep Rubicon, there are not enough of them.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Great little truck, hell of a deal! 👍 A nicer body maybe but stock body is good to beat on, lol.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I totally agree!

[@zamoragera13]

Not bad. I would put another body and change wheels. Then maybe.

[@RCManiacs]

That low speed 😮

[@heinies_hobbies]

I dig everything but the body 😂

[@88davidw]

Looks very cool. I think it would look very cool if you customised it 👍🏼

[@robinkesterlives]

The body doesnt do anything for me but the chassis and gear are outstanding looking. We know how good Furitek's gear is, so it has to be a win.

[@robinkesterlives]

The black body with flames does look cool. Great overall deal, esp for those who want to try a proper crawler in a smaller scale w a solid elec tronics setup.

[@rustysglass]

What else would you do to that???? Links wheels and tires and maybe a servo it's about all you need maybe a little weight up front and that's it!!!

[@rectown]

Nice video,Does Treal Fms axles work to upgrade the plastic axles under it?I have the same rig but would like more durable axles and low weight.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I honestly don’t know, if they fit on the CR18, then they might fit here too. Thanks for watching!

[@keldonator]

Pretty sure those are plastic beadlock wheels. This is by far the best deal out there for this scale. The esc makes this thing so great. That's always the weakest link on others and on this is the strong point.

[@scalebuildersguild]

You're correct! They're beadlock wheels. It REALLY is a great deal!

[@etowngti]

Just pulled the trigger on one of these, as I'm a massive fan of the CR18p platform. Any body suggestions? I want to do a whacky scale sleeper build for it, tbh!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sounds fun! I’m looking at 1/20 static models now!

[@player1dad808]

I don't love this body style but the platform looks good. I'd want to put a scx or trx4m high trail body on it if possible.

[@scalebuildersguild]

The wheelbase is pretty close for the TRX4M but the SCX might be too big. Thanks for watching!

[@Noizy-Boy]

Very nice review! I just put a Furitek system in my TRX4M, performs much better now. Do you know if that is a worm gear setup on the diffs? Thanks for the info!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Standard ring and pinion!

[@Noizy-Boy]

@@scalebuildersguild Awesome! Thanks!

[@Stroxiks]

Mine has beadlocks

[@covecityboys]

All it needs is a good ESC and servo.

[@scalebuildersguild]

It has an excellent ESC already!

[@covecityboys]

@@scalebuildersguild did they do some updating/changes what have you to get rid of the glitching problems? That’s the only issues I’ve had with the 3 lizard pros I’ve had. Other than that, when they worked they were great.

[@daniels_199]

I had to order ;)

[@scalebuildersguild]

Enjoy it!

[@keldonator]

Is the wheelbase the same as the rock van? Also, is the esc and receiver separate?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sorry, don’t have a Rock Van. ESC and Receiver are separate.

[@rakhunproductions]

What would you choose this or the FMS FCX 18?

[@scalebuildersguild]

You get a substantially better power system here. It's not nearly as "scale" but a much better driving experience in my opinion.

[@rakhunproductions]

@@scalebuildersguild thanks matt. Much more keen for performance than scale so guess it’s an easy decision 😄 now let there be some sweet cyber Monday deals

[@AUBREYTHOMAS1979]

Dude. I love these videos. But. We all know to hit the buttons so stop saying it.😂 Love your work. And love the content and quality of it

[@johnnyhotshoe1292]

Hey don't for to hit that😂

[@DanGibbs-rx1vl]

So i bought the fury tek fury wagon and 2 days after i bought it it quit moving forward only reverse so then i downloaded the app udated firmware and it will go forawrd but no reverse unless i change it in the app and now it will not charge so very dissapointed in this truck. When it was fully functional the first 2 days it was awesome now not so much

[@scalebuildersguild]

Have you tried contacting them? I’m sure they can help you.

[@DanGibbs-rx1vl]

@scalebuildersguild yes they want a video so they can show the warranty dept problem is sending a video is a major PITA on my phone. So last email i sent them i told them i'm shipping the truck back to them and we can go from there

[@DanGibbs-rx1vl]

Yes i emailed them and told them i was shipping the truck back to them and they said they will look at it and fix or replace it @@scalebuildersguild

[@rjleunura]

3s lipo works on the venom?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Not that I'm aware of, at this scale anyway I'd stick with 2S. I don't think it's capable of running 3S.

[@Simoroxigorum]

i love this, i was debating getting the trx4m high trail or not but i'll grab this fury wagon instead, nice review as always.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@SAJIDANIEL-g3o]

Hi ..is the electronics waterproof

[@scalebuildersguild]

Apparently, yes. I haven't tested that theory though!

[@paulgugliotti9446]

Did you bind GT5 to stock rx?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yes. Thanks for watching!

[@stevefrench3564]

Web site says there beadlock wheels

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yes, corrected. They are.

[@michaelchoate2810]

Can you binf this to a flysky nb4?

[@scalebuildersguild]

I don't have that radio, so can't confirm, but as I showed in the video, I couldn't get the included radio to bind, and bound it to another FlySky radio I had, so chances are good!

[@mikerainey3847]

Placed my order last night..... ...... waiting...waiting😢

[@scalebuildersguild]

Enjoy!

[@outcastrc8052]

Q: Plastic or metal links? How is the steering servo?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Plastic links. Steering feels pretty decent!

[@outcastrc8052]

THX@@scalebuildersguild

[@slinginlead8353]

Those wheels are beadlocks.. not glued.. they are 1.2’s.. there is a fair amount of upgrades available for it..

[@needlejuse1113]

❤❤

[@jrsantoyo9028]

Vinny politan with a hat on lol

[@Mike_and_Life]

The body is a pass for me, but the chassis alone is worth it. As for modding it, I say you 3d print a Pinto body, paint it a rusty brown and add an exploded gas tank in the back.

[@scalebuildersguild]

That would be cool!

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Hit the like button folks. Cheers.

[@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors]

Are they playing chess while traxxas plays checkers?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Close, but I still prefer the TRX4M chassis.

[@jrjoker541]

like number 900🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@navigationmanship]

Nice brushless setup. The market is getting very full ... of power wagons!! Need something more original.

[@JesseSerna-s5g]

So I have like all my crawlers, are power wagons, so didn't want this again same old body damn it. So can anyone actually tell me number 1 crawler or at least top 3, not 10, that's more of a race.

[@scalebuildersguild]

You want the top 3 10th scale crawlers?

[@Spor777]

Hoe did you get Josh's teuck 😂

[@Spor777]

How did you get Josh's truck

[@scottgoodrich9908]

Car is crap Drive shaft broke right out of the gate

[@MarcoLemmetti]

Ughhh 🙄 I know companies want to make it affordable for everyone to crawl by keeping costs low but enough with the small scale stuff. Keep it at 1/10 call it a day. My 2 cents

[@keldonator]

I'm on the opposite boat.
