FMS MASHIGAN - Full Teardown (You will want to watch this)

In this video i take apart everything to check and see how things look. Just watch to see if the gears have grease in them from the factory.

For a crawler with all a full interior, lights and a hard body with removable top for $329 , I will grease my own axles. The big companies could take note.

Thank you for this. I got their Fj40 and it’s bone dry. None of the “influencer” reviewers don’t talk about this sort of stuff, especially for this model. Much appreciated.

Hello.

[@michaeltrilck5680]

Thanks for your explanation and the look in the drivetrain!!! I remeber mine FMS 1/6 Willys MB 3 year ago… the drivetrain of the 1/6 Willys was well greased(i change it to Bel RAY)It is newer wrong to get to the bottom of things. You get to know your RC car and know what‘s going on with it. By the way: i use BEL RAY WATER GREASE for Outborder, it does not absorb water and also protects against corrosion in/with salt water… Have fun with your FMS 1/10 Jeep YJ and have a nice day!!! 👍😀

Just ordered some shafts from you, thanks for the info. Subbed!

Cool video and teardown

[@oldmanjeepingandbiking9621]

With the configuration it has it seems that you will likely end up with grease on the slipper clutch surface after some driving. Just seems like an engineering oversight to me. Every reviewer I've watched that has gone into the gear boxes and axles has the same lack of grease situation you had. As a YJ owner i purchased this vehicle and have plans to do a complete teardown and rebuild before I apply power for the first time.

Them shaving their pins down ain’t a bad idea .smaller hole ..SSD use stock pins and I’ve sheared no end of their pinion gears on the axles ..even new gears have broken on their first run .

Nice sharing . New subbed from me

[@markuspfeil841]

Thx for upload 🔧🔩🛠✌

[@jonthomas8487]

While I prefer kits it seems like most people buy RTR’s. For RTR folks who buy FMS I think most folks don’t plan to maintain them. No grease makes me think there’s other things they cut corners on maybe quality of metal half shafts, cvd’s, etc.

Hope someone make a more scale chassis for the body 😂

[@SimplyMustGo]

What's the difference in using a diff oil vs grease in the axle?

[@wrchobby1451]

What program do you use to edit your videos?

[@wadecombs1098]

How’s the hard top come off? Don’t want to break it lol

[@WIZARDDETECTIVE]

What kind of power screw driver is that

[@alfonxoduff]

Why you need the grease? all 1/8 bashing/racig cars, dont use grase on the pinion/spur gear

[@fishnrc294]

While you are a lucky one the rest of us will never get to buy one unfortunately they have removed all there Crawlers that look like Jeeps. Jeep has sent them notice to remove them including the new Jeep you have. The value just went way up. It was high on my list to buy.

[@metomwhou]

So, did you end up putting a fusion in it and if so, which one and where is the video?? 🤣

[@trevorcourt1403]

That’s really poor quality control surely a bit of token grease wouldn’t hurt
