mat I'm a landy nut I'm going to get the four of them I've all ready pre ordered 2 without even seeing them just cause they were fms and landrovers after watching this got to get all 4 there awesome thanks for the vid should hit Australia any day now

[@rcplaytime]

ordered all 4 also ,very excited 👍👍😀

[@JP-qq2kn]

We need to talk FMS into making a 1/24 or 1/18 scale trophy truck like a mini udr.

[@caelinator101]

Fms is killing it with this drop

[@arronharms9591]

Yeah, I’m sold! These are sick!

[@808rcguy]

Awesome video Matt! Always look forward to your reviews when new stuff hits the market. Super stoked on these as I have also been enjoying the more scale side of things lately as well. Can’t wait to get one, now it’s just a matter of picking which one to get lol thanks again for the video, have a good one man 🤘🏽

[@MrsRabbit8]

I NEED this transmission! That fact that it will work on an scx24 makes it perfect. Looks like they need to do some work to get this thing perfect, but overall good! Thank you for the review!

[@MrChip2806]

Great review as always 😍😍

[@24crawlin]

Great review as always 👍

[@DesignedRhyme]

Very, very nice review, mate. I appreciate all the taking apart stuff & going into detail the way you have here

[@2fmrc]

Really appreciate that!

[@MysticRiverRC]

Great video Matt! I'm so happy we've moved in this direction. But it is crazy that now I want to buy four more rigs. I need a second job!

[@andyrichey1192]

Wow, that is pretty cool Matt. I’m here watching Monday, June 17.👍👍😎

[@hbrc3867]

As usual best review out there Thanks 👍

[@2fmrc]

I appreciate that more than you can even imagine! It’s what I shoot for with every review 🙏

[@SivartCustomRCs]

I feel they are about to put Axial on its heels if not out of the game with this

[@2fmrc]

Yeah I hear axial has something new in the works but we will have to see!

[@rcplaytime]

ordered all 4, cant wait to get them 😀👍👍

[@HillbillyHermitRC]

Well damn... Here i was thinking it was another body swapped FCX24 with straight axles. Pleasantly surprised on the counter-rotating driveshafts, easily swapped transmission (due to mounting locations), as well as the body hinge setup. Well done FMS. As always, I dig your unbiased opinions on these micros.

[@2fmrc]

lol they after all our money!

[@stefan-norge]

Great review, on point with the information one needs 👍🏻

[@2fmrc]

Really appreciate that! Glad to hear it!

[@OkieDokieBoi]

Right after they released their advertisement video by less than a minute, lol! Great stuff. These are a must-have for sure. I'll have to get back to this tonight! Good work, brotha. 👌🤘

[@TrokaRC]

Interesting, 1/24 sick!

[@thomasblair7996]

seems to be nice rigs,and being able to use older parts also is a winner

[@canuckchuck8836]

Nice! It is not a Jeep or a PowerWagon! I am with you 100% I much prefer a less capable, more scale crawler these days. So much more rewarding and fun to watch.

[@2fmrc]

Yeah I’ve been bit by the scale bug badly!

[@basc5026]

Pumped about this new 24! Just bought the Range Rover and the injora Fcx24/fcx18 20% overdrive gear. That Discovery body looks so nice too. Excited to see you explore this new format with scx24 chassis

[@basc5026]

Just realised the overdrive gear won’t work for these axles haha oh well…

[@mattabe86]

Ugh, just when I thought I could stop buying RCs. Owned all of these in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a> and loved watching Camel Trophy as a kid. Ordered the Disco. Thanks for the review!

[@REACTIVETERRAINRC]

Can't wait to get hold of the disco

[@lemmontree1]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="0">0:00</a> That wall of joy back there is perfect for size comparison.

[@JacobScherer]

I'm actually shocked. When I saw the teasers I assumed it was just another FCX24 with a body plopped on and wrote it off. Wow! Glad to be wrong!

[@2fmrc]

Same! So glad they reworked these into a true 1/24

[@Elisplushies360woodierc]

I love it

[@johnnyhotshoe1292]

I had to make a little list of current rtr's I am considering and make a pro & con list to see what I want to get. I already have so many crawlers that I am thinking about the Arrma Mojave grom first. Now gotta figure out which 1 of these 4 rovers I like best. Last year around this time, I got my first brushless RC boat, and had a blast with it every time I took my kids swimming. I think that arrma mojave will be fun for a change for me like the boat was! Good day everyone!

[@charlieshankles]

Great vid. Im glad they are finallly coming out. Im curious how short the short wheel base is compared to both the ones you have

[@2fmrc]

Yeah I tried to order one of the shorter wheel base trucks myself. Just haven’t got it yet.

[@jonathanmcdonald5411]

Awesome vid bro!! I really liked the deep dive of the new rigs. Nice to know they stopped using those crappy plastic gears. Cool little rigs from FMS. They just keep making me wanna spend money😅

[@2fmrc]

Yeah I’m glad to see all metal gears in this one!

[@benbrown565]

i’m glad to see the 050 motor is holding up. that was my main concern. their old motors that came in the hilux and fj were awful

[@crashandcynder]

I'm really hoping aftermarket axels for the scx24 will work on this. How cool would it be to put the meus axels on this?

[@ricorico5638]

Finally 😂

[@MrsRabbit8]

I just want the body and transmission. I've got built rigs that would fit the body perfect, and that are super capable. One issue is that i was hoping that it would be a 180 motor because i want this transmission for a tow rig, but you're right.. the 050 has the power and this transmission is more compact and good for a transplant into an scx24. Probably could make it work. The website has this transmission for sale, I THINK, looks like it, but I'm not sure.

[@HumlsHobbies]

Watch out Axial! A new contender in town!!! Which one is your favorite Matt?

[@2fmrc]

The discovery for sure!

[@nedreck]

I'm really interested in the 2-speed, especially with the metal gears already in there. I really would like a brushless motor though; do you think a Cedar would fit onto that transmission case?

[@2fmrc]

Yeah I feel like it would. I’ll probably try it when I get a chance!

[@JT-6s]

Speaking of driveshafts, don’t these counter rotate?

[@2fmrc]

Yes!

[@carloshnunez]

Very good review, too bad they are not 1/18 scale 🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵

[@2fmrc]

Thanks! I’m so glad they aren’t 1/18! We have plenty 1/18s lol. Glad to see an actual 1/24 again

[@carloshnunez]

@@2fmrc Good for you, my collection is only 1/18 scale

[@petermaidment1175]

Doesn't that weird gear box design provide contrarotating drive shafts?

[@2fmrc]

Yes

[@scaleaddicted]

I don`t know, why most guys, buys trail scalers and want that they should drive like a comp crawler?! This will NEVER function!!! Drive this rig like the REAL one. This means "SCALE". And second..., most buys RTR`s and than there comes the mods! Makes no sense. If you put the same amount of money in to it, what the vehicle did cost, or even more, buy better a kit. Informativ video although. Ordered the Disco, best lookin in terms of proportions and look. Happy trails...

[@2fmrc]

Yep! These things trail great. I have a hard time taking the easy lines most of the time but I’m starting to enjoy it more and more lol

[@jasoncaisley5071]

devo they have band them in Australia before they even arrived because of the name camel 🐪 they r trying to say that it is advertisement for the old smoke brand camel what a load of crap whats wrong with Aussie laws no hobbyshop is aloud to stock them spewing

[@GSG-lc5zm]

I think these guys are jerks... Every time I think I don't NEED ANYTHING ELSE! here they go and put more cool stuff out that I've gotta have... These greedy companies pushing their RC on us poor helpless addicts. The shame of it! Lmao 🤣😂🤣😂

[@Sidecharacter1912]

I know! That Mojave grom is a need for me!

[@shockman8014]

Fathers day and FMS. Irks the hell out of me. If I was president FMS would not be allowed any business in the US. If I was governor FMS would no be allowed to even advertise in that state let alone sale.

[@TrokaRC]
