FMS Toyota Hilux 1983 rc car review

[@locorc5919]

FMS is kicking a** and taking names! Love the rig! Great video as always

[@RCReviewChannel]

Thanks 👍. Taking names for sure.

[@osho5996]

Kick names take ass

[@fishnrc294]

I like it the features equal performance. Mini RC’s have come along way. That smile says it all. Sometimes it’s not about how fast or how good it climbs it’s about having fun & enjoying all aspects of RC’s.

[@phillipflores8353]

I love how much joy it brings him 😂 planing on getting one

[@jonlaird5082]

FMS is really stepping up the scale scene. I have the lime green jimny and love that thing. I'll definitely will be buying this as well as a few of there other vehicles. Keep up the great work and continue being honest as it helps us alot when choosing to buy rc's 😎👍. Enjoy your new and have a happy and healthy new years

[@RCReviewChannel]

It's staggering to witness their progress in a year.

@@RCReviewChannel what about the parts support? Francis,do you have an idea where to buy,a stripped gear on the transfer box,from? Best regards and keep up the very nice content

[@daviddyer2644]

Happy New Year and thank you for being there for us.

[@RCReviewChannel]

for sure. My mission is to play rc's for the people. :)

[@mikeupton5406]

Great first review for 2022. Always appreciate your reviews. Your review content is always a factor in any purchasing decision on R/C crawler stuff.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Glad to help. That's truly my goal. Make folks aware and guide them to the right purchase for max fun!

[@creekcreeperrc7972]

I love it. I think Fms really knocked it outta the park with this one.

[@Raguvian]

Woah! This will have to be a definite pick up. Looks amazing.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@KibsRC]

Oh man that’s freak’n awesome! I just got the LC80 and can’t wait to take it out tomorrow!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Enjoy it

[@KibsRC]

@@RCReviewChannel Thank you so much! Enjoy yours too! I can’t wait to see your running videos with it!

[@fucheduck]

I like the vivid yellow. The new trucks are off yellow. I didn't know this older FMS had two speed. this is much like the new version from Hylukon.(and other brands). I have the Chevy blazer colored like the Old 1970s truck the orange/red with white dual tone. Can be converted to a pick up(which I did). mine does not have a rear window. Nor does it have an interior.-you have to buy it separate! I also bought mud guards(fenderwells front/back) so I could go in the mud.

[@sitlos.]

Nice little truck. Wish u woulda taken body off so we could of seen motor and electronics and some more details. Like and appreciate ur thorough reviews Francis as always😁. Happy new year and god bless buddy.

[@ChrisGorman87]

Any furitek esc would be a great match for the 1:18 fms crawlers. I have had great great results with the furitek liko pro esc and highly recommend that you look into them as an upgrade. Even with a stock motor a furitek esc is awesome!

[@Elisplushies360woodierc]

Oh wow. I just bought the Fms fj cruiser.I saw that climb button and pressed it but didn’t notice anything. I’ll do what you did and see what happens.

[@jmo2752]

I think this is their most scale-realistic body so far - I love the realistic stance rather than jacking it sky high.

[@RCReviewChannel]

True, true. Work vehicle.

[@jmo2752]

@@RCReviewChannel huge potential for customisation - I can see this all rusty and with a full-length roof-rack!

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Great truck and even better positivity!

[@RCReviewChannel]

We agree! And my resolution for the year is to be more positive.

[@randall4411]

I'm feeling you on that one ... An American will be adding a Toyota to his collection . Thank you for all your videos !

[@RCReviewChannel]

You bet. Happy New Year.

[@fernsolo]

Oh man, I don't need another RC but this one has the looks, I must have it 👍

[@RCReviewChannel]

Mines!!

[@davidsrcshow]

Happy new year Francis! That Toyota looks fantastic, thanks for another great review! Always love seeing your enthusiasm on this hobby, wishing you all the best. :)

[@bry0ung]

Hear me out: Do you take the body off of these 1/18 trucks, and show us what is underneath? I have an scx24; I would enjoy putting one of these bodies on my smaller Axial but I have no idea the layout of electronics/motor/servo. Could you point me to a video where you review these 1/18 trucks "below the body?" Thank you! Your videos are great quality, and have offered me endless enjoyment. Cheers.

[@brcoutlook4224]

Great review 😁 fms really have outdone themselves with that little hilux ...I too have a fascination for thee Toyota's too and will probably start collecting them too haha thanks again mate 👍 hope the new year brings you happiness as I know the new stuff you bring to show us in 2022 will make us happy...stay safe mate

[@RCReviewChannel]

Totally agree. Here's to a great 2022

[@RRTS]

Is there any led for the tail and reverse light?

[@Elisplushies360woodierc]

Wife thinks I’m off playing with these.She said how would I like if I saw her playing with Barbie’s and video taping them. Lol

[@SierraCrawler530]

I can dig it! Love the yotas ive been contemplating getting an fms

[@slickrick882006]

Would the Hilux be safe to use on pavement or just dirt & off road? I'm seriously considering purchasing one but don't have much actual dirt or anything like that around where I live & would be mostly using it.

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

Lol this thing can be used absolutely anywhere. I am blown away at how durable this thing is.

[@scottbraithwaite3143]

Awesome video! I was waiting for a peek at the electronics and chasis!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Glad you liked it! The electronics and transmitter is identical FMS so I don't spend time on it anymore.

[@scottbraithwaite3143]

@@RCReviewChannel Ah. Makes sense! You mentioned in a previous video you were in the bike industry. I started working in shops in the mid nineties. Care to share what you do?

[@zonegamma8197]

very cool truck and a good size if you don't have a lot of space. thanks for the review

[@RCReviewChannel]

Space on the shelf and playing area too.

[@bcochener]

Looks really nice and some big new features as well! Not a fan of the color or stripes… but that can be changed easily. Great review as usual!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Agreed! Not perfect but some potential here.

[@Antonio-RC]

I am here for the openable hood 😁😁😁 In all seriousness, I like it so far but, I think the bed is a tad too long.

[@RCReviewChannel]

It is so long for any real crawling. Maybe bob the bed!

[@loranger6447]

Is the stock battery safe or are there safer aftermarket ones?

[@zz-tama]

That Hilux is looks really good. I want that😍

[@hikingandrcs1728]

Great review 👍 I agree with the color mismatch.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Cool, thanks. Yeah, it's worse in some light than others.

[@andyb9994]

I told myself I didn't need anymore models for a while, damn you had to review this awesome Toyota....my local favorite hobby shop has a bunch of FMS I'm sure they will have one soon. It just looks so cool, takes me back...great review again 👍👍

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yup, they pushing out the hits. And there are a lot more coming!!!

[@chaddavis513RC]

Great review! I really dig it but to me it looks like an 84-86 front end and grill I'm in the us so mabye in other country's this is an 83? I don't know can someone please educate me? haha regardless i still want it becouse i love yota's! Happy new year to everyone!

[@clyde19770]

This is definitely not an 83’ body

[@brandonreid4511]

Yeah I agree! I believe the grill should have vertical openings not the narrow horizontal grill style?

[@fcukeround]

Absolutely right. I also had a 83 4x4. Fender flares are more like the 87-89.

[@moneymanjoe9639]

Its a toy RC

[@brandonreid4511]

@@moneymanjoe9639 yes we know that.....? But it's specifically says 1983 Hilux that's what we are talking about 👍

[@ekpauly]

I wish they would step it up and make these actual 1/9-1/10th scale. Then at least we could use the bodies for real trucks.

[@RCReviewChannel]

I can't wait. I need damped shocks for sure and companies need bigger shocks so it holds oil

[@oldironsfury]

Awesome video (the usual!) One thing I’d like to ask, looking through your videos have you ever done a review on the MST MTX-1 200$ little monster truck (like a smaller version of the Losi LMT but pretty neat straight axle 4x4 ground thumper ! Anyway you take care Have a good new year !

[@RCReviewChannel]

Well said

[@jdsrcs8061]

The slight paint variation is easy to explain. It's scale repainted bed. Repainted body panels hardly ever match. The bed got destroyed hauling motors and generators so it got replaced and painted to match!!!!🤣🤣🤣

That’s 85 body style not 83 though

Did you synchronize video releases with the company or what? Seconds apart from each other.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yeah, they embargo'ed it fo this time. Companies tend to set a time when content can be released when they send out a product weeks in advance.

[@maverikwartj0184]

hello, why are these models so expensive? thank you!

[@jmo2752]

Hardbody with multiple pieces, and official [Toyota] licensing all cost more money than a generic vacuum-formed body.

[@RCReviewChannel]

I think there's little competition so they're pricing it for what they can get. Their EazyRC models are very very similar but much cheaper.

[@yavorkaloyanov4483]

Does the quality of the materials come close to a Kyosho ?

[@RCReviewChannel]

I would say, yes.

Does it have the crappy 180 motor? FMS needs to get into the 380 size. 180 is such a let down. All this work and put in a crappy motor 🤷‍♂️.

they need better motors and suspension now.

too small for me, looks like a little toy car when it goes over a small stone with the pogo shocks, 1:10th or nothing and especially when they are selling them at 1:10 prices 😀

It's way out of scale ...lol

[@Wurstkommission]

No idea where you get your information from. But I would have rather compared the FMS Chevy K10 to the EazyRC Glacier. What role does the Toyota model play... I have no idea! Instead of talking a lot about nothing, you could have mentioned that the FMS model has more controllable electronics. So if you claim that your posts are reviews, then I can only say that you are glad to know more competent channels. Anyone who talks about the cars, which they apparently just get sent to them, should have driven them beforehand so that they know what they are talking about!
