This Cheap, Small Monster Truck is BIG ON FUN! - FMS MAX SMASHER

[@beratsbuilds]

I really love that little guy. One note to the shocks: they have O-Rings in the box where you can upgrade them to Oilshocks

[@scalebuildersguild]

Very true! I missed that completely! Thanks!

[@beratsbuilds]

@@scalebuildersguild you're very welcome. I was just obsessing about these Monster Trucks and saw it in one of the other reviews

[@bgi3793]

Just add oil to the shocks?

[@yes._.3748]

@@bgi3793 without the o rings it would leak out, I mean, they include them for a reason.

FMS is really stepping up their game. This would be such a fun little office toy for those extended coffee breaks our bosses love so much. 😅

[@ElJusticiero13]

FMS IS coming back very strong to the game againg

[@JUMBOs-RC]

Like the blue "Bigfoot" classic

[@osirismaximus2787]

Hard Body ✅ 24 Scale ✅ Warm Incandescent Lights ✅ Water Slide Decals ✅ Excellent Model Kit Style Box Art ✅ Clip Mount System ✅ 2 Speed Transmission ✅ Great Servo ✅ Decent Price ✅ Boxy 70s/80s Truck ✅ Finally the best of the model kit world and the rc world are merging! This is what we need! Thank you!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed!

[@messenger9412]

I sure appreciate that fms is jumping the standards of micro rc, first 2 speed gearbox, first portals (now with metal gears), affordable killer hard body's, and now even 24th scale monster tires that I bet many will look for even for there monster scx24s. I want one badly now, was not a fan of the first ones look too, but this new release is fire.

[@davel4449]

2 speed gearbox for me is the feature that made bought it

[@racerj2.03]

I remember when the world was introduced to Bob Chandler and the first Bigfoot truck. It interesting to see how it developed over the years to the version that became the Bigfoot the world knows. I love to see the monster truck get some love in the RC small scale world. I have thought about building my own but fms has taken care of it for me!

[@Adrenalinerushrcmotorsports]

this truck brings me so much hope for the rc monster truck community. the 24th scale crawlers have exploded in popularity and alot of people have been moding and build monster trucks out of them. so the fact someone made an rtr gives me hope more companies take notice and dabble with 24th scale monsters

[@passedthegas8490]

Monster trucks were so big in the 80’s I’m pretty sure it’s what got me so into rc. Rc trucks are the absolute best because you can drive on or off road unlike a car that limits you to a smooth surface. The fcx24 max smasher looks so good.

That thing is sick. It kinda matches my 79 F150 that’s lifted with 37s. I might just have to get one.

[@jshep3564]

Great timing on this one! My 4 year old wants a MT RC, but I’m not letting him touch any of mine. He gets excited and tends to run into things. This will make a great Christmas gift!

[@wrenchingoncars1884]

I have to admit, it's one amazing rig. I can see people replacing the decals with Bigfoot livery and one thing that I am most pleased about this little truck is that they went with warm white lights instead of the super white lights up front.

[@hedgemeist]

This has to be one of their best releases, it looks cool and impressive.

[@Rokstardad82]

Fms is really making a name for themselves. I absolutely love this !👍

[@dustyblack1855]

This makes me think of the original 1983 Playskool Bigfoot I had when I was a kid. Would set up dirt tracks for it, and watch it roll through over and over. Who else had one?

[@joshuabaggett91]

I bought my son an Scx24 and he calls it a monster truck. Then proceeds to get mad at me when it doesn’t do monster truck things. Winning this would get little man off my back for a few days. Love the content as always! ❤

[@rccat6059]

FMS is really stepping up their game on scale crawlers these look like awesome 24th scale monster trucks

[@sonorangaming449]

FMS is definitely doing a good job at giving Axial a run for their money. The aftermarket is really starting to jump for FMS as well.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

The portals are very similar to the planetary system that real monster trucks use.. the body is truly 1/24 scale.. these are such awesome trucks, I’m glad FMS is doing this, and have the game at mini monster trucks

[@batman785]

This rig looks way more scale than some.old school look and lights are making my childhood come back. Love the vids.ty

[@QuinnsRC]

FMS has done a bang up job entering the 1/24ish scale world. They put out a great product with the Power Wagon (I know, you didn't like it...but I did!), made improvements to the platform based on consumer feedback, then released the monster truck, something that its customers were asking for! Then they sent out a gazillion to creators and now almost everyone is hyping it! Hope I win that USA-1, I just got a Losi Super Rock Rey, and that burns up quite a bit household RC goodwill.

[@ColeThrun]

Looks like a neat little truck! FMS is really stepping up their game and offering some serious competition to some of the big brands. These would be a ton of fun to rip around the basement during the winter! Keep up the great content Matt!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Couldn't agree more!

[@fishnrc294]

The more I see it the more I like it. It always brings a smile to your face that’s for sure.

[@lanniedyer965]

I love it, also it's nice that they in included o rings for the shocks, to turn them into oil filled shocks.

[@mattgriffith6704]

The headlight color really ties the look together on these!

[@Burb1996]

Oh man. My son and I are really looking forward to this truck! Good luck to everyone! Great video as always.

[@GreenLantern814]

Oh my gosh, I've still got a die cast monster truck made up like USA1 from when I was a kid in the '80s! Didn't even realize what that truck was named until you said it. That's super cool, it'd be awesome to have either version of that truck!

[@im2tall1]

I love seeing you with fat tires from time to time ,me being a monster truck lover ! I know the crawler guys don't like them,but they're fun and a breath of fresh air !!!

[@johnkania1655]

Nice to see this exists. Time for indoor Monster Jam this winter.

[@jannisbeuttenmuller9973]

Just the right Toy for some cold winter days with some bashing in the House. Imagine Building a few small Jumps and racing this Indoor when you can’t bash outside. ❤

[@scalebuildersguild]

That would be cool!

[@victorvazquez8704]

This is great I remember my dad watching that blue truck on TV and how amazing it was !!! Very cool little rig !!!

[@bgredjeep]

I agree on the looks. These are way better than the initial release.

[@benhartley7122]

Wow, my brother would be absolutely blown away with one of these little old school monster trucks. Super cool

[@ukistudmuffin]

Apparently they will have tracks for these as well! Good for that winter bashing

[@psman74]

Man this brings me back to my childhood memories of monster truck shows in Virginia. Awesome video

[@Snowsurfer57]

I think FMS is leading the market in new models and innovations lately. The detail they come with is amazing. I am very happy that this is a hardbody, I think It’s going to be the biggest seller for them yet.

[@scalebuildersguild]

It's already sold out, so hopefully they get more soon!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Actually, they're back in stock already!

[@Rockatha]

This is Awesome. So pleased someone finally produced a 1/24 monster truck. Can't wait to get some of those wheels to get for my custom 1/24 trucks.

[@MrSpocksSox]

My GF and I were watching and I said "Ooh it would be easy to find cars to smash at that scale" and you immediately obliged. Then we wondered aloud about wheelies which you performed as if on cue. Then she says, "I wanna see backflips!" just as you decided to try some. Maybe we are just getting used to the rhythm of your videos, but this one felt almost interactive.

[@scalebuildersguild]

That's awesome! Glad you didn't tell me to jump off a bridge! 😂

[@WickedRC]

Awesome little monster truck. So glad it’s a 2 speed, that extra speed will help out a lot and keep the kids entertained lol. They get bored with the “slow” crawlers.

[@TheDeLeonGarageCollection]

I really like what FMS is doing. I have the bug and Bigfoot has always been my favorite truck since my late father took us to see "Take this job and shove it"

[@chuckstogdill1938]

Kids got into the 24th scale this year. Those little trucks can be a blast too

[@chrismooneyham5279]

I have been wanting a 1/24 scale but times are a little hard as far as money goes. I can't complain though since life isn't going to horribly. I will cross my fingers and keep hope alive that I am chosen for the give away. I hope the best for you and yours. Be Blessed and have a great day.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@brandonpruitt5893]

This is one of the cooler 24th scale trucks I’ve seen in a minute! I hope more companies release something similar to this

[@outcastrc8052]

Well done Matt! Great to see FMS stepping foot so boldly into the micro aspect of our hobby. Excellent review and first run!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Many thanks!

[@Ayrton_Groesbeck]

I love that the market for micro-scale RCs is expanding. they are really fun, and I find it so much easier to find fun terrain for the little guys.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Especially if you get snow like we do... it's fun to create an indoor course!

[@bobbyc167]

Those things are pretty sweet looking, and so much fun to be had. I agree totally with the choice in lighting being a little more vintage look to match the styling.

finally a 1/24 monster truck , looks great , great wheelies

[@georgestuckey8529]

I really dig what FMS is doing these days. Great addition to the mini monster truck game.

[@twisterzman]

I was more skeptical about this than you were about the first trx4.. But... saner heads prevailed. I like this little guy. Never owned once of their products, but might be worth a hard look now

[@grantwitt4962]

Crazy how fast the 24th scale took off. Cool to see it still going

[@normandedgerly8445]

I love the fact that it looks like an official Ford body! Been looking at the plastic model bodies for a Ford that will fit on an scx24 chassis. With this, I can take my time on starting that project. I always appreciate your videos too, thanks!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you enjoy them, thanks for watching!

Good looking small scale truck. Perfect for indoor bashing cause I don't want my neighbors to question my life choices.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Hahaha! If I cared, my neighbours probably think I'm a big nerd!

[@leonhurney4369]

This is an awesome idea. I’ve made other 1/24s into monster trucks but none that will be able to perform this way. I want one!!

This truck is amazing! I asked my hubby for one for Christmas, add this to my growing collection! Love your reviews!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@markwinter2111]

I was on the fence about getting one of these but after seeing you popping those wheelies all over the place I’m sold. Guess I better order one now.

The oil shock upgrade is in the kit.check the little plastic bag with the O rings. I used them on my fmx 24 and the shock work pretty good

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yes! I missed the o-rings when I opened the box the first time.

[@rseficomalta]

looks awesome for a 1/24. IF Oil shocks can be fitted, maybe wheel weights and foams in the tyres i think should make it jam better.

[@MiniMightyMike]

So cool to see FMS launching new models so often. some other brands like one I know with many X, could learn from them, instead of living out of remakes, and suing other companies.

[@donhoskins7035]

Thanks for the review. Trying to choose between Axial and FMC is difficult. This might be one to add to the collection!

[@stabbyjosh7931]

This is perfect for the "Take this Job and Shove It" home game!

I don't know that game!

[@stabbyjosh7931]

@@scalebuildersguild there is no game. "Take this job and shove it" besides being a song, was the movie in which the truck "Bigfoot" was introduced to the world. The movie was based on the real life Star Brewing company in Dubuque Iowa.

Its nice to see another option for a micro monster truck. Im a ford guy n remember watchin the REAL monster trucks as a kid. Granted, USA-1 was a chevy, but it looks even better as a ford lol. Itd b awesome to a few of these to play with my kids with. My youngest loves monster trucks, his fav is Gravedigger, go figure lol

You have to be careful reversing and then hitting forward to wheel-stand it because you can strip the cog coming out of your motor. I learned my lesson the hard way.
