FMS FXC10 LC80 Is The BEST Budget Trail Basher! Let's FPV IT!

[@JacobScherer]

This was really neat! I FPV'd my Xmaxx and cruise around the yard with my kids on their power wheels. That gimbal looks so good!

[@DoRC]

The gimbal makes a huge difference

[@topqualityfi8216]

That shock setup works so perfect on trailing

[@DoRC]

I agree. This is pretty close to the perfect trail truck. It doesn't have as many features as the full fat FCX-10 but most of them you don't really need

[@1980VINZ]

4:01 WOW…… This gearbox looks VERY good !! Wasn’t expecting that. This is amazing… This RC category continues to progress quite quickly, what a wonderful time.

[@DoRC]

Yeah crawlers have come a long way

[@peteroman4297]

I do this on a regular to all my RC’s. I started doing it to my FPV race quads (drones) and then I began doing it to everything “RC” including my RC heli’s, my RC motorcycles, my RC trucks,cars,planes, jets, etc etc and it just gives me an additional challenge and experience. I love it.👍👍💯💯

[@DoRC]

Have you tried this new gimbal? It's a game changer.

[@peteroman4297]

@ I have not tried using that specific gimbal (by the way that gimbal is NICE) and honestly I haven’t tried “Headtracking” either but those are definitely the next steps for me. Great video, thanks for sharing your videos with the world brother.👍💯🙂🫵❤️

[@turboomni848]

I just received that gimbal for an install on my Fms FJ40. My plan is to hang the gimbal assembly from the ceiling over the drivers seat. Nice video and thanks for posting.

[@DoRC]

Sounds like a pretty sweet idea. I do wonder how the gimbal will work upside down. I guess it'll be fine.. let me know how it goes!

[@turboomni848]

@@DoRC I did some research and found out it will work well either direction. With the great interior detail of the FJ40 I thought it would be cool to have the camera gimbal in the same place as the driver’s head would be to look around. Nice to find your channel as there really isn’t much out there for 3 axis gimbals in a RC crawler. Hard mounted 0 or 1 axis bashers sure. I’ll let you know how it goes upside down. Or is it right side up???Nice job again!

[@DoRC]

@turboomni848 sweet!

[@VS666]

Really bad ass video dude! I knew FPV was pretty easy now but you made it look even easier. I had a feeling your transmitter would cut out before the FPV did 😅

[@DoRC]

Yeah the initial setup can feel a little daunting and there are some things that can trip you up such as needing to get firmware updated but it's really not that bad and each individual step is very straightforward if you have a little bit of experience with electronics computers etc

[@just.jose.youtube]

What a fun set-up! :) Great release from FMS also!

[@DoRC]

Definitely!

[@lyricofwise6894]

Like it when you showcase the fpv!

[@DoRC]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.

[@JIPPERR_1]

Awesome build! That LC80 looks like a great choice of rc for fpv for sure. I have a similar thing with a tamiya cc02, runs in all weather and day or night with a lightbar. Double sided mounting tape is really super strong. The thick transparent stuff by 3m or gorilla is what I've tried, both are easy to find. Appreciate the run without those squishy damping ball things. For $100 the radiolink rc6gs will give you massive range.

[@DoRC]

Yeah there are definitely better options for range than what I'm using :-)

[@Vince-ly5fb]

Looks like I found a christmas gift for myself 😄

[@DoRC]

Nice!

[@meirdeaph]

I remember your other fpv video 📹 it was awesome too💯👍

[@DoRC]

Yeah people had a lot of questions from that video so I thought I would do an update. Turns out nobody wants to watch this one :-)

[@deezrcz]

That’s so awesome! I’m so tempted to get this setup! Can you look behind you with that gimbal?

[@DoRC]

Yes you can :-)

[@CrossfireX7]

Would love to see this on the FMS FJ40. It's got an upholstered interior and the steering wheel turns when you turn the vehicle. No driver but if you put the gimbal in the driver's seat on top of a pair of legs and glue some action figure hands on the wheel...

[@DoRC]

Do it!

[@gordousmaximus]

This vid made me get a crawler lol😅and that light bar? Pretty impressive

[@DoRC]

For sure! I think it was like $13 on Amazon. I remember not too long ago pretty much any lights you bought on Amazon were going to be junk but this thing impresses!

[@johanneswicklein4975]

Hey Do Rc, These videos of yours are the reason I halted all rc car purchases until I get the Fpv stuff😂. I will sacrifice one body to make it work, but I havent decided on a platform yet. These videos are a huge inspiration for me and I will go with a caddx setup as well. Do you think three axis gimbal is necessary for stabilization? The huge thing the 2 axis gimbal has going for it is the compactness factor. What do you think? Really love your channel

[@DoRC]

I'm not sure. I would have to try It and find out. Honestly I'd go with the three axis

[@jammer2150]

I orderd the FMS LC80 looking at some of the review videos it looks like the front quick release body mount system they went with will completely block the ability to install a servo winch, and also looks like there is not enuff room on the front bumper for the standard bumper mount winch?? 2nd I have not heard anyone state if the esc and/rx is an all in one system or seperate, if all in one system it will make installing a brushless motor such as the 2-in-1 fusion an expensive option because you will have to swap out the radio t/x r/x. awesome video I just fell in love with the fpv system here

[@DoRC]

Yes it has a 2 in 1 System. I'm not sure about the winch. I've never really messed with them

[@Slow_PEV]

This is sick. I want the whole setup. Sell to me now! 😂

[@DoRC]

If you're serious shoot me an email :-)

[@chaoticadventure]

How much for the whole setup?​@DoRC

[@Hutch_Davenport]

Cool crawler and the FPV is amazing.

[@DoRC]

Definitely!

[@sebastienburdin5390]

Nice fpv upgrade! Do you think the caddx gimbal camera can fit in the Arrma mojave grom ?

[@DoRC]

Unfortunately probably not. You might be able to get away with one of the ones with fewer axes but even that would be pretty tight

[@BellaT-nu4vv]

Very cool! Still I wish that there is a way of setting the gimbal only two axis too though, because in this way it would be more realistical. However, the version you use in the video has the advantage of making driving easier surely Btw, by sticking an airtag or a smarttag to the rig it can be tracked on map hence getting disoriented won't be a problem anymore

[@DoRC]

You can get a two-axis gimbal of the same type. I think in the configuration software you can disable axes on this as well.

[@meirdeaph]

I have analog skyzone goggles for my drones but haven't used in a rc cause it wasnt smooth enough without a gimbal 👍

[@DoRC]

Yeah cameras have been put in RC cars a bunch of times and the problem is always how rough the ride is. This gimbal is the first really practical solution I've seen to that problem

[@meirdeaph]

Definitely awesome 🙌​@@DoRC

[@AlbertPerry-f9h]

That fpv set up is super cool. I now want one of those Having plenty of crawlers to attach that to I don’t really need the knock off traxxas rig ( and when I say knock off there’s many similarities in this trans set up motor mounting system that’s nearly identical) Cool truck for a budget as you get a good bit of truck for less then the traxxas sport cost which is their base entry level truck However that fpv I’ve never seen one aside some videos and for that price if it’s a decent system that’s not terrible (tbh I’ve got 5th scale wheels I paid that much for without tires ) maybe Santa will bring me one lol

[@DoRC]

For sure. For me a two-speed transmission is required. I don't really do hardcore rock crawling so being able to go faster down the trail is important. For 300 bucks this definitely gives you a lot.

[@AlbertPerry-f9h]

@ Yeah I do crawl that way but also trail run and this would be super cool either way imo

[@DoRC]

FMS definitely makes one of the best crawler/trail rigs you can get.

[@druseph38]

Yes! New toys to end up skint with🤣🤣🤣

[@DoRC]

Definitely not cheap but in my opinion worth it

[@Baker_7498]

looking at the exploded parts diagrams it shows the LC80 transmission still has the 2wd/dig gears inside, just need the servo and linkage to use it

[@DoRC]

Hmm. Entirely possible. I saw that there was one extra shaft sticking out but it didn't have any movement on it. It might just need something removed inside though.

[@krish3033]

Hopefully someone comes out with a bind and drive version of this with everything pre-assembled. I’d buy a couple. Would be sweet to try it on a race buggy or off road basher, too.

[@DoRC]

Someone made a comment on The previous video and they are doing exactly that. I can't remember who it was though unfortunately

[@Loolapaloglambuf]

Hey, I hope you’re well. I have the same setup and I’m having some issue with the wiring and power supply. Could you explain a bit more what you did around the 8 minute mark? Which wires did you connect where and how did you get them to the same power supply? Thanks!

[@DoRC]

The gimbal and VTX both have cables that plug into them which have a black and red wire. Those black and red wires are the wires that power them. All you need to do is combine both black wires and both red wires and then somehow get power to them from any 2 to 6s battery. I soldered them to a 2S balance lead extension. You can get the balance lead extension pin outs with a Google search just be really careful that you actually wire them correctly because you might damage the systems if you wire them backwards.

[@Loolapaloglambuf]

@ so in theory, I take the connect the 4 cable connector from the gimbal to the VTX (white and gray), I take the red and black from the same connector and connect them to the red and black of the VTX power supply, I could crimp all 4 and connect them to a JTC XH connector right?

[@Loolapaloglambuf]

@ got it mate, thanks a lot!

[@K1ngC0ur7n3y]

If it wasn't a 2-1 esc/receiver, I'd love to see you add an ELRS and see how far you could take it on WalkSnail.

[@DoRC]

I suspect it would be a very long way. I hadn't even seen the first glitch on that range test before The stock radio ran out.

[@TheSpeedrunRookie]

That’s awesome

[@DoRC]

Definitely!

[@JIPPERR_1]

One more comment looks like headtracking signal is transmitted via the goggles? Is that correct. Pretty awesome if it is as that really simplifies the whole setup

[@DoRC]

Yep. Head tracking is done in the goggles transmitted via the goggles straight to the VTX and then the VTX controls the gimbal. It is definitely the most simple head tracking FPV setup you can get

[@alantaylor353]

SWEET.!! 👍 👍 👍

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's an experience like no other and this crawler makes it really easy.

[@gazzap6664]

Got to be the way to go with trail trucks, outside of this i find them a little boring compared to bashing faster cars, this however looks great fun.

[@DoRC]

It really is a different kind of experience!

[@judybain9356]

Yo that’s really cool I want one of those lol

[@DoRC]

It's a pretty sweet setup!

[@heclanet]

Someday I will have an FPV KIT for the cars to control!

[@DoRC]

It's an awesome setup!

[@garrettenglish6094]

How easy would an ELRS receiver swap be with this setup?

[@DoRC]

Other than the lights it would be very easy. It's only three channels and I think the ELRS receiver is four channels. Unfortunately the light signal comes out of like a custom channel on the receiver and so unless you got to receiver that had enough channels for all of the lights and then program them into HTX to work properly You're only other option would just be to power them directly and have them on all the time which wouldn't be too bad either.

[@garrettenglish6094]

@ I wouldn’t care if the lights were always ON. I guess the original setup could be left in place and ELRS added with option to swap back to original Tx/Rx? Hoping to get this set up for some long range with DJI O3

[@L.U.C.K.Y333]

Is this good quality?parts availability etc?I never owned an Fms and scared to pull the trigger but I really like this rig

[@DoRC]

Yes. FMS stuff is very good quality.

[@L.U.C.K.Y333]

@ thanks for the reply I’m going to pull the trigger

[@AsurasWrath164]

2nd watch for the algorithm 🙂

[@DoRC]

Thanks!

[@CHICO-bw8hs]

what is the camera and car range?

[@DoRC]

Tested in the video

[@L.U.C.K.Y333]

Do you have part numbers on all three fpv parts?thanks

[@DoRC]

Not sure what the part numbers are but I do detail out exactly what you need in the video

[@L.U.C.K.Y333]

@ ok I’ll watch it again lol

[@JIPPERR_1]

Is it possible to toggle between horizon lock and not horizon lock from the transmitter? Ie sometimes I want the gimbal to hold a level horizon and sometimes I want it to stay level relative to the chassis.

[@DoRC]

As far as I know with this particular setup no it's not.

[@RcAddict0418]

Would this be good on my 8s infraction?

[@DoRC]

I think it would be fun in any RC car. You would have to modify the body to get the camera inside. You could mount it outside but I don't think the gimbal would survive a smack into concrete.

[@emmanuelcheveau4891]

Hi this product isn't gimbals ?? Is it good for stabilisation ?? I'm looking for a good stabilisation system to run RC car but I don't want to invest in a whole DJI or Walksnail gimbals system. Walksnail/DJI gimbals are really good but you have to buy the Walksnail/DJI vtx and goggles, this solution is really expensive. I want to install analog camera. Storm32 seems not to be an easy solution sometimes it works sometimes not. Do you have a product to suggest for analog gimbals ?

[@DoRC]

Unfortunately I don't. I've tried several different analog gimbal solutions over the years and none of them are really very good. Unfortunately analog development isn't really happening anymore so I wouldn't expect to see anything like this for analog come out anytime soon. That being said whereas this gimbal is expensive the rest of the hardware really isn't that bad. Yeah you're going to spend a little bit more for the VTX and camera but the goggles are only a couple hundred bucks. If you haven't really had much experience with digital I'd recommend giving it a try because it is absolutely worth the money

[@emmanuelcheveau4891]

@@DoRC I have HDzero system !! You save me a lot of time of research !! I don't have the choice Walksnail Vrx :)

[@DoRC]

@@emmanuelcheveau4891 ah ok. Yeah at this time there isn't an option for the HD 0 system. The gimbal will work standalone and I believe you can reset its zero position through a PWM signal So you technically could do it with your RC transmitter and then figure out how to adapt an HD zero camera onto it. It probably wouldn't be that hard though I don't think anybody's done it before

[@emmanuelcheveau4891]

@@DoRC Buy the goggles L with corrective lens will be my best option

[@DoRC]

@@emmanuelcheveau4891 Yeah they're pretty good. They're definitely a budget option but I like them. I have always been a fan of box goggles

[@ArmandoIzquierdo-AIRvision]

Thanks! Excellent video and review. I'll be trying the CaddxFPV Walksnail system soon in my TRX4 Truck. The FPV system that I have already mounted is an anlage one (just monitor not goggles). I just performed a range test with two different VTXs and I was able to reach a little bit more of 200m (256ft). I think I could have gone further but the bush obstructions caused transmission interference. Here the range test: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKesd62oedGnY6M

Awesome I'll check it out!

[@jacobholwerda7151]

[@johanchotoo5208]

The VTX is going to overheat

[@DoRC]

That hasn't been my experience. I've run it quite a bit with that fan on it and I've never seen it overheat or even come close.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Normalize magnetic light connectors and clipless bodies please. No more clips in 2025 how about ? Too much to ask ?

[@boduke9428]

Do you have a Xmaxx? I'm guessing not. I hated clipless bodies because of mine. I nearly hate the Xmaxx because of it. If it holds the body on as well as body clips I'm OK with it. My Mojave Grom for example. The self removing clipless bodies like my Xmaxx are horrible and putting in 4 body clips would be much faster and easier than stopping dozens of times while bashing to chase the truck down and put the body back on. On slow tame vehicles clipless is great. I just want the system that that keeps the body on till I take it off.

[@DoRC]

Definitely don't judge clipless on the X-Max. That was basically the first try at clipless and it wasn't very good. Manufacturers have gotten a lot better at it since then

[@DoRC]

Some people still like the clips :-)
