Discount code: TomleyRC Check it out here:www.fmshobby.com/products/fms-1-24-fcx24-max-smasher-rtr?ref=TRC A note about the decals… they are only $2.99 for a sheet 👌

[@NnaRC]

I was gonna order one but It says your discount code is invalid :

[@TomleyRC]

@NnA RC don’t put a full stop? Just tried it and it works fine

[@NnaRC]

@@TomleyRC I tried it in several ways with and without the stop, capital and lowercase and every time it told me it was an invalid code. I'll give it another shot.

[@NnaRC]

@@TomleyRC Got it 🤙

[@FarmerFpv]

This should be the FMS advertisement for these little beasts. This is the best review and running video I have seen of the FCX24 Mad Smashers. Excellent job Phil, I'm sold! Get the highspeed motor for them. I bet they will scream!

[@Belihah]

For waterslides, hold them with tweezers after you wet them and use q tips to slide them on to the surface. Micro sol and Tamiya have products that make it easier to manipulate waterslides when they're transferred to the surface. With these hard bodies it might even be worth it to put a topcoat on it.

[@dannyseville2543]

I was just going to say a coat of clearcoat is probably needed here

[@making_randoms]

Also clean the surface first with an alcohol wipe.

[@FarmerFpv]

@@making_randoms Some Alcohol wipes have moisturizer in them. Best to just use the alcohol out of the bottle. Dawn dish soap works best.

[@mickmuzzmkmz1628]

Care should be taken before clear coating water slides. If decal fixing solution isn't used before clear coating, it can cause the decal to contract, leaving a crinkled mess. I found out the hard way!😄

[@vlogress11c81]

Micro sol is awesome after you put water slides on. Make sure you don’t touch them though after because it basically melts them on to the plastic. Makes them look way more realistic and if there’s contours it has to form to it’ll do it way easier.

[@bengammell9305]

2fmrc has already put the high speed motor in and it's amazing. You definitely need it and it's only $13

[@BlueDually4x4]

FMS is really knocking out a lot of rigs this year. Solid review and pretty impressive moon walks.

[@jdsrcs8061]

The oil shock mod on the FCX24 made a big difference on my rig. Crawls much better and does not bounce anymore. I just ordered a USA-1. It's cool that they use water decals, takes me back to my modeling days as a kid.

[@muskokamike127]

You can buy waterslide paper for your printer now so you can make your own decals. How cool is that? I made hundreds of models as a kid and put on more decals than I can remember. After a few years though they dry out and flake off. Then I discovered putting clear lacquer on top, locks them in. there's also a conditioner you put in the water too.

[@TomleyRC]

Waterslide printed decals… now we are talking!

[@goldenmanuever1176]

What shock oil or weight did you use? I have tons of Tamiya oil in various viscosities laying around.

[@jdsrcs8061]

@@goldenmanuever1176 I uses 27.5. It was thick enough to dampen the shocks and didn't leak.

[@goldenmanuever1176]

@@jdsrcs8061 Thanks for the advice. The 27.5 is around 300cst which is 1/2 between Tamiya soft and medium. I could mix them 50/50.

[@FarmerFpv]

The box reminds me of old Tamiya box art. That is so cool!

[@aljensen7779]

Phil, I built Aurora model airplane kits in the 70s, when I was 12-ish. The decals would be soaked in lukewarm water for about 30 sec or longer. After being applied, they'd be given 24hrs before touching them. Make sure the plastic is clean and handle the rear of the decal as little as possible. They look great because they can follow the smallest contours, looking just like paint. Yours shouldn't have come off so easily unless you didn't give them long enough to dry, or else the thickness of the decal is probably even less, nowadays, making them even easier to tear.

[@thisnthat4318]

Prob the most realistic handling rc monster trucks I’ve seen of any scale 👌🏼🙌🏼

[@BlackSeaRC]

I'm amazed it has taken someone so long to make a decent mini monster truck.

[@TheRCScotsman]

Impressive little thing. I have to say, though... my favourite thing is probably the body-mounting system. Very neat and clever! It is time that serious 1/10 scale/trail trucks start ditching body pins.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, clipless bodies should be the norm

[@benbekemeier5545]

These are just too cool! I've been holding off on getting a mini, but this might be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

[@LeeHobbies]

Waterslides - Buy Micro Sol and Micro Set - one goes on before the decal, the other seals it afterwards. Alternatively, paint on a little gloss varnish before you do the slide (let it dry before applying slide), then after it's dry, paint on some matt varnish (or more gloss if you want a shine). Cheers as always Tomley!

[@ramblingimbecile2295]

Ah it's the blue one for me, love the colour and all the tricks

[@FullTimeRCer]

Spray clear coat once they are dry. I do this often to help protect RC body stickers. Not sure if it's the best practice but it works for me.

[@kevingilroy]

This is the one I've been waiting for. I've ignored every other video out there. Waiting on our dude's video.

[@TomleyRC]

Appreciate your loyalty Kevin 🙏

[@dskofich]

THANKS TOMLEY

[@TomleyRC]

Welcome Dan

[@WCPRCModelsCraft]

The blue one wins the freestyle event for me hahahaha They are cool little monster trucks, wicked fun

[@oohahitsanrccar1913]

Wasn't sure about this one but seeing the wheel speed and options it's jumped onto my list 👍

[@nicksantitoro]

You can seal the water slide decals with a little white glue mixed with water and brush it over top. They will stick really good after that. Don’t use too much glue mixture or they lift off the model again 😂. Or they sell a product called microset which is a water slide decal sealer which leaves more of a matte finish.

[@TheDeLeonGarageCollection]

Waterslides really need to be cleared over to add a protective coating. I also use tamiya fit strong to aid in adhesion especially to complex corners. They should also include a set of vinyl based ink printed decals. Waterslides are for static models.

[@rcicons4915]

Gems is really making a statement in the small scale market. Their trucks are epic and a great price point.

[@rcicons4915]

Spell check! FMS

[@Mr.NiceGuy80]

The original USA-1 monster truck was a Chevy Silverado. Not sure why they made it a 73-79 Ford ranger, but that's cool.

[@TomleyRC]

🤷🏼‍♂️😅

[@mickmuzzmkmz1628]

Maybe you could even modify it with rear steering eventually, for even more monster truck shenanigans. Cool truck, and video!👍

[@AlidArido]

Kevin Talbot would love this!

[@3Y3ECE]

Thats what ive been waiting for to get into 24th scale!! Portals, monster trucks,.loads of aftermarket parts... sold!! Great vid, as always!!

[@Luke-en2tk]

Love the retro Tamiya esk box art, I think this will stand out well on a shop shelf

[@truenopanda86]

Tomley, my apologies for not commenting more often. But I am put of this world excited for these little Max Smasher’s to be at my door! Thank you for sharing a discount code. I am hoping to get a set for my sons this coming year. We will see how they take to the one I ordered.

[@TomleyRC]

You'll have fun I am sure. And even more if you manage to get your boys some! :)

[@js32257]

Caurion! That motor gets hot.

[@kashmurray1199]

Those are cool. Neat rainy day trucks.

[@VS666]

i wasn't keen on these initially, but these things are pretty damn cool. its pretty sick how many tricks and stuff you can do with them. i think as long as you play with them indoors and dont jump anything huge they should be pretty durable

[@RCBirds]

I want one🤩. This is so much fun. Maybe FMS'll bring out buggies next🤔

[@paulmcnamara16]

Wasn't interested until I saw this now I want one! Damn you Phil! 🤣🤣🤣

[@carlbModels]

Got to be said of ALL the channels I subscribe to, yours has convinced me to buy more goodies than any other, by a big margin. The HG's, the Kanyon and the Tracer/hbx. I just like the style and information content more than most 👍🍺🇬🇧

[@andrewrichey7374]

Back watching again, I have both of them on the way now I did go ahead and order the blue one too can’t wait

[@Daytonafox1]

BAD Tomley!! Making me spend money i want both of these.

[@andyb9994]

They look pretty cool....I think me and the kid will have some fun with a couple of those.....

[@richwrag3308]

I'd clearcoat the decals as you would on the static models by airfix and tamiya etc

[@LennonZFPV]

Thanks for the review - Mima got this for my 4 year old and it’s an amazing little crawler.

[@chrisreibold1634]

Blue one is nice, just need some scale bigfoot decals, white one looks nice too but USA-1 is a Chevy!

[@user-nl9pn9su6m]

Great video. These do what there real trucks do. I have to have one. Wash the body with dish washing liquid before putting on the decals. It may not help depending on how much oil is impregnated the plastic.

[@grrfy]

overspray with krylon clear for added protection ,probably a bit of grease and oil on the chassis rails as well ,wouldnt of helped them adhere.

[@dexterbeattie7884]

Awesome Truck's! FMS is really Killin it!

[@QuinnsRC]

Can't wait to get one of these. I have ramps waiting! I might have to just put a speed motor and open diffs in an FCX24 I already own. Thanks for the review!

[@Sparroh]

I’d there was some dirt in this, this could have been there marketing video. Great video! These are gangsta, not as gangsta as your Ganstaa Chevy but still. Awesome.

[@arronjones6985]

Clear coat over water slides for longevity 👌

[@tylerseabook9423]

Thank you tomley. You’re the first person to put a video of these since released

[@mickeyhavoc939]

Shipping takes FOREVER!! It will probably be three weeks until I see mine >.< super exited, looks like a blast!

[@wordreet]

These beasties could be the most popular RC trucks this xmas. But I just received my second Sand Scorcher!!!!!!!!!

[@evtoytv]

USA 1 looks very cool 🤩

[@rc-dom-uk]

Sold!!!!! I want both😂 great video mate. Shame about the decals. I love the power wagon. Fms are knocking it out the park.

[@speedgears1236]

That is an amazing little truck. I was surprised it could climb the steep ramp. It will be a blast indoors on bad weather day. Im going to get one. Thank you for sharing.

[@RCvapor]

Awesome for indoor fun in the winter 👍

[@shadowx5648]

Amazing tiny trucks!

[@mattiasrc]

Holy moly FMS is really on to it, these mini monster trucks are awesome.

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

Have been waiting for this..... Yes... Just yes.... That Blue one needs to be in my life, on the alternate wheels, with locked diffs.....

[@disciplinerc]

Aaaaand purchased 🤣

[@NnaRC]

This thing looks like a beast!

[@RCscale101]

"Caurion hot" :) Looking good!

[@ChrisGorman87]

This one is my favorite truck they made yet! It just makes sense to me! Haha. Can I come over and play?! LoL

[@michaelgallucci1784]

Awesome little trucks

[@roblowrie1969]

These looks amazing!! I thought the scale was slightly off with the Power Wagon crawler, but they've nailed it with these. They both look awesome, but I agree, the USA-1 looks the nuts!! I remember waterslide decals always being a bit flaky when they were scraped. Other than clear coat, I don't know of another way of making them more long lasting?! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@softsayocean875]

So after first seeing your video when I first woke up and ordering one(haha), I went and watched a couple of other videos by other people and you definitely provided the most info in a very nice way so thank you for being knowledgeable and doing your homework on the things you cover! Love your channel!

[@patricklavoie8719]

Looked like a blast to drive!

[@slowchevy]

I stumbled on your channel a while ago and watch almost every release. Before I was even through this video I sent some pics of the trucks to my brother. We ordered two of them and can't wait. Solid content.

[@TomleyRC]

Awesome, your gonna have lots of fun 👌

[@jezzamatic]

Seal the decals with gloss varnish, a few coats do wonders.

[@Darren-RC-videos]

They look really good, you can get decal set to help keep them on or clear coat over them once dry will help too, great vid.

[@Xofroggy]

Ok next mini crawler is one of these, thats so sick

[@MRMechanicRC]

Sick car dude! I need to get one… and maybe some more space in my garage 😂 also, your SOOO close to 100k! Anyone reading this needs to hit the read button!

[@alantaylor353]

That slo-mo looks awesome.! I have an idea for something a bit different... WORLDS FASTEST 1:24 MONSTER TRUCK.!!!

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Alan. Worlds fastest mini crawler, now that’s a challenge!

[@danielvannatter5782]

Those are pretty awesome !!!!

[@harrypoon2438]

For me water-slide decals stick on better if you spray clear coat over (*not under*) the decal after the water dried Also, clear coat is usually very durable so it also protects the decals from breaking

[@markmerrin1606]

Well done for getting their first Tomley... Talbots is going to be all over that iam sure.. you did nothing wrong with the water decals... All you can do to protect them is lacquer over the top.. keep posting mate..👍🇬🇧😎

[@jondoe6618]

Well dang. Now I want one!!

[@MangoJim90]

This truck is so cool!! My little light all-round basher) higher rpm motor inside and silicone ear plugs in rear diff (optional) and it goes everywhere 🥰

[@TomleyRC]

Nice!

[@semperatis]

It's always a good idea to cover the decals with a satin varnish after applying them Phil. That helps to protect them and stops them from getting damaged.

[@chrisprice6405]

1.35 .... Phil to his associated car after Talbot race result ! 😁

[@andygrant5275]

Certainly looks like a fun truck to have, can’t say I’ve ever seen one that roll’s on its front wheels only.
