What an epic overland and climbs, great video. I just got the blazer and man I can’t wait until I can get the truck. I want all the accessories too.

[@lesabre1972]

I love following a 1/18 and the k5 blazer 24

[@RCplamodel]

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

[@TheChadSmithPodcast]

I love those little trucks man! Great first run!

[@ezboyrc553]

Thanks 👍 They are fun but different. Lol

[@BerkshireRC]

Great little rigs seem very capable....

[@kg5nja693]

Love it. I like how you made this video. Showing off both trucks with the same line taken. How about an underbody of what they come with. I really do hope I end up winning your GAW. Make more videos of these 2. Thanks for all that you do for this hobby. Scott

[@ezboyrc553]

I will look under the body in a video soon.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Love my FCX 24 blazers, I use green slime a little on the end of a toothpick and I coat the inside of the shock cylinder big difference

[@Dbxrc]

Not bad showing off both your doing good

[@Casitascrawlers]

The Blazer looks so good can’t wait till ya upgrade it.

[@BlackSwarm]

I have a SCX24 k5 blazer, I love it. Probably going to get the big one. Great video I’m happy for you to get FMS to rep you.

[@Casitascrawlers]

I have the Blazer & 1:18 Land cruiser I believe the blazer comes with stuff to make the shocks dampened but I just replaced mine with Injora dampened shocks mine has a bunch of upgrades & is pretty heavy I’ve got brass in the front that really helps it my 1:18 is pretty stock except wheels n tires & it’s an incredible little crawler but after some changes the Blazer is just to much fun. Someone had said that the mini crawlers are like Gremlins because once ya get a few they just keep multiplying. I’m mostly a 1:10 scale enthusiast but my mini collection is growing by the way ran my FMS 1:10 Orange Blazer with the new Injora driveshafts & wheels n tires with blue inserts those drive shafts are butter smooth ya gotta get um. 👍

[@JamesDirtRC]

i love those rigs.

[@ezboyrc553]

They are definitely fun for indoors also. Lol

[@richardbalzarinijr2676]

Awesome video. I have the k10 as well. On the controller if u look at it u have 1234 move 1 up and u have forward reverse no brake. Move 1 down and u have forward brake reverse. 2 is to switch between nickcahd batteries to lipo. Its already in lipo. Now 3 and 4 allows u to control drag brake i usually do 75 percent wich is 3 up and 4 down 3 and 4 up 100 percent drag brake. Alot more into this rig than a stock trx4m

[@ezboyrc553]

Thanks for the tip. I figured out what most of the buttons do on the K10, but the K5 controller don't have them. And I don't know how to make it go straight to forward & reverse.

[@JP-qq2kn]

​@ezboyrc553 it's done with the buttons on the controller. There are a few KZbin videos that show how to do it.

@@ezboyrc553 If you have a G3V1 transmitter then unfortunately you do not have the F/Rev function and only the F/B/Rev. Here is an answer fro FMS when I had the same problem with my power wagon: "If you don't find a sticker in the area I mentioned, then this remote and receiver is a V1 set. G3V1 remote doesn't come with drage brake and F/B/Rev to F/Rev. Both the MG41 and G3V2 have this function if you want to change the remote and receiver."

[@Kernsy71]

Great video! I like them both!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah the black and red one is the one I want. Yeah I’m here watching 2:25 PM Sunday awesome dude 👍👍😎

[@ezboyrc553]

Yeah, that will be my next color if I get another unless they send me a free one. That's the other color. Then it will be my next one. Lol

[@greggrube2948]

Love the little rigs, the p/u is cool. I just got the redcat ascent 18 and its awesome right out of the box 😊 but my ❤ is still with the 1/10 scale rigs. Awesome video brother , keep um coming 😄

[@ezboyrc553]

Right on, thanks, buddy

[@CowboyRc743]

I've got 2 fcx24 Blazers, the new fcx18 K10, and an fcx10 Blazer. I love them all!

[@ezboyrc553]

I agree. They are all three awesome.

[@andrewrichey7374]

You got it, that was a good Climb 👍👍😎

[@echeath78]

Good to see you enjoying these trucks. I’m surprised on your blazer throttle. Both of mine came with the better setting right away. FMS did a video to show programming. They used the smasher, but it’s the same process. All that bounce will be fixed when you take care of the shocks. Even the K10 will be better when you replace the tires.

[@ezboyrc553]

Thanks I appreciate it. I think the blazer's pretty smooth. Once I set it to go forward to reverse without the break, I'll be happy. Not sure how many other settings there are?

[@anthonyanderson8424]

When you put the O-rings in the shocks there's no reason to replace them. they work great.

[@ezboyrc553]

Thanks, I appreciate the tip. Actually. I just put them in last night. I'm uploading a video About that when I get off work.

[@jpak1130]

Double tap the REV button, the green LED should start blinking. your in programming mode, then click the BIND button to cycle through the drive modes until you get the fwd/rev mode. then double click the REV button to exit the programming mode.

[@jpak1130]

Also when you are in programming mode, you can adjust the drag brake percentage by clicking the ST trim +/- and the TH trim +/-

[@ezboyrc553]

Thanks for the tip. If I appreciate it.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Or put Cheech and Chong as drivers in the blazer they would love the bouncy around 😁😁

[@Casitascrawlers]

The FMS’s will blow the doors off any TRX4M I have one that has a bunch of upgrades & the stock Blazer blew it away perfectly & look wise & that’s stock.

[@jimpalazzolo6013]

👍👍👍👍

[@richardbalzarinijr2676]

Im right there with you i love long beds. Fms needs to make my dreams a reality and make the same thing just a 79 or 74 ford f150

[@ezboyrc553]

Hell yeah, that'd be cool. I would like to see a 69 Ford

[@richardbalzarinijr2676]

I can get on board with a 69 f100 bump. My favorite year for bumps is 71

[@carltruva8872]

I'd be all seasick if I was riding in the little blazer... Cool little trucks.

[@ezboyrc553]

I know, right. It reminds me of ace ventura where he's riding in the truck singing chitty chitty bang bang. Lol

[@JP-qq2kn]

I'm pretty sure you push the REV button twice fast, the green light will blink, and then press the bind button to cycle through the brake settings. Press once for forward-reverse press twice for forward-brake-reverse.

[@ezboyrc553]

Thanks for the tip. I will try this before I go watching all the other videos. Lol

[@dustinblakley4825]

Got one a while back bashed it for a while where the roll cages started to collapse the body I put a piece of thicker lexan for a tonneau cover and it's stiffened everything up and work great I've got a brushless system sitting here I just haven't put it in yet that's definitely what it needs. I thought there was talk of them coming out with a brushless? Great video love the content thank you for the time you put in

[@ezboyrc553]

Thank you for watching in the kind words. Appreciate the tips.

[@zachcostanza1990]

Add the o ring and oil to the blazer and it works great that's all I've done to mine other than wheels

[@ezboyrc553]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ctpreddog1411]

I’m really starting to enjoy the FMS vehicles as I am starting to collect some Five of them so far, I got my eye on the new K-10 for this summer as I have the original one along with the K5 blazer that recently came out the smasher which is my favorite mini truck now since it has the speed motor and of course the brand new 1/10th scale blazer that will run along with my TRX4 classic 1979 bronco. I’m a person that has a complete mixed bag of RC cars from newer to vintage and re-release from small to fairly large from electric to nitro from on road to off-road and bashing, trail crawling to racing.

[@ezboyrc553]

That's awesome. I have been enjoying adding these to my collection. I have the 79 Bronco. As well, but we turned it into a slug bug for my wife, but I have the blazer. And the k10 high trail and the TRX6 hauler, and they have always been my favorite trucks and for this FMS 1/10 blazer to take over that 3rd spot from all of those & my other trucks. My high trail in my hauler are still top at my list. But the FMS Has outperformed my SCX10.3 CJ7

[@ctpreddog1411]

@@ezboyrc553 having bashers along with the old-school classic Tamaya and Kyosho was my thing but now I’ve started getting into the racing scene, both on road and off-road, electric and nitro but due to my dexterity issue, I have trouble trying to steer my vehicles correctly that’s why I like driving out in the open. I have more electrics, but I am a huge fan of Nitros with being successful in maintain, tune and making ease of starting them which makes it more enjoyable to play with them and recently acquired some vintage nitros including the very first 1999 Traxxas T-maxx the red and white box art model inbox that actually came unpainted.

[@PtsdRC]

I just spent my money on the red cat ascent 18 though, I had to pick one of those for the 100 bucks while it lasted though. Lol, again I'm glad FMS is working with you and I noticed that they are working with wingnuts RC too. They are are probably the best company, them and wpl at working with small channels

[@ezboyrc553]

I was gonna get one of those redcats. While, they're 99 bucks. Also, but then I bought me some small 1.9 tires last night. And now I'm not allowed to get it.LOL I gotta wait.

[@PtsdRC]

@@ezboyrc553 I understand that completely

[@PtsdRC]

Man that little black one would be slick murdered out. It's cool as hell they are two speed. I'm going to try to save up for a 10th size one. U think those are just the best thing since sliced bread. The little ones are cool but the bigger is more realistic than the tiny boys, they are all awesome looking

[@ezboyrc553]

I definitely like the bigger ones better. That's why it's been hard for me to jump back on to the little ones. I used to enjoy them until I got addicted to the larger scale. But now that they're looking like this. K10 does, and the K5. It's so much better than it used to be. I really do enjoy them now.

[@Dropddime74]

Wow I’m amazed at how these trucks are handling or you’re just really good at driving lol . I’ve been messing with the scx24s and looks like im gonna have to try one of these out .

[@ezboyrc553]

Thanks 👍 they are awesome

[@yourtubisfilled7164]

Really nice. I think there is a separate interior insert from FMS and some more realistic glass insert. Not sure if it fits both models but that''s the thing I would replace on the FCX18. The dark glass looks less realistic. The 24 needs better springs too imo as the body is so wobbly.

[@ezboyrc553]

Yeah, that bouncing had to go. Luckily, all I did was add the rings that come in the kit. And put some oil and it changed them, made them great. It rides like a dream now. Lol

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah shoot it all over again, I’ll sit here and watch 😁👍👍 yeah that 1080 would be awesome. Well as always love your videos I’ll I’ll be here watching for until then peace and chicken grease 😁😁👍👍😎

[@EricsRC]

With the blazer being so bouncy, I hit playback speed down to .5, and it gives it that real suspension look lol

[@ezboyrc553]

We're just gonna change the shocks. They come with tiny little o. Rings. I don't know if I feel like messing with it though.

[@EricsRC]
