So Scale It’s Ridiculous! FMS Suzuki Jimny 4WD RC Car Review | RC Driver

[@BlackSeaRC]

It looks absolutely amazing and I think we will start to see a lot more products like this. Really, RC cars have been around a good 40+ years now and it has taken a while to go full circle back to the "scale model kit" on a RC chassis (like the original Tamiya RC cars). It is funny that some manufacturers talk about scale realism, yet still give us protruding body posts, visible body clips and stickers for headlights/tail-lights. This Jimny does it properly and I look forward to seeing what body styles they bring out next.

[@me-rn7jx]

so glad to be alive in the time wherr you can buy rc cars that look more real than the real thing😂

[@tony64t]

Just bought mine's yesterday. I do believe that the steering wheel turns as you maneuver it from left to right. Now, if only Suzuki trucks would return to the USA Market with this model, they'd make a killing! The real ones are on back order in most countries.

[@digitrc]

Great review. I actually ordered one today because of the scale features like the opening doors etc. I stumbled on to your review and it made me even more excited about getting this thing.

[@carlm8821]

A couple of years late here, but just recently discovered this rig and immediately ordered it. 35 days later, it arrived and not only can I NOT stop looking at it….and checking out all the cool features and details, I also couldn’t wait to run it! Had to raid a couple of remotes for the AAA batteries, but ordered rechargeable ones because I plan on having lots of fun with this Jimny. Been enjoying the Xiaomi 16 scale Jimny since late 2020 with good chassis mods, better tire/wheel combo,and a lift to make it a capable little crawler, but this thing makes that seems like a kids toy in comparison! Your review shows off all the key features and elements that makes this awesome in every way and the capabilities outweigh the limitations big time. It’s definitely more trail rig than crawler, but it will be fun putting it through the paces. It’s so perfect and shiny and I want to just run it indoors for fear of scuffing and scratching it all up, but luckily FMS literally has every spare/replacement part needed to keep this thing going and looking great for years to come! Thanks again for a great review on this Jimny!

[@venomousrc1772]

You really did an outstanding review and walk around.. im in aww over this rig. And its 100% your fault lol. Definitely getting this next. Thank you for your time and skills. I appreciate it as many others do. 🍻

Greg: Scratches frame to see if it's made out of metal. Magnet: Am I a joke to you?

[@GoGogleUser]

Is aluminium magnetic?

[@timbuktu7753]

Great scale details but just wish it had real dampening shocks because its so bouncy like. Great review!

[@rcdriver]

Thanks! Yea, lack of oil shocks is the only downside to these FMS RC’s. But worth looking into making something fit.

[@timbuktu7753]

@@rcdriver Yes exactly! Then it would be amazing in every way!

[@geoffreywilliamson722]

Some really good upgrades guys well done. A very good video clear and precise instructions without sounding condescending as some presenter's do thank you 👏👏👏

[@michaelramsey82]

So freaking cool! I wish there was a bigger market for super-scale stuff like this. I would buy one if I didn't absolutely hate that neon green color, lol.

[@rmp5s]

This. All of it. LOVE detailed stuff but hate that color.

[@rcdriver]

On the “bright side” you wouldn’t lose it. 🤣

[@rmp5s]

@@rcdriver Not even when driving from space!! 😆

[@adrianbernardo202]

My uncle has a dark grey one, I mean the real one

[@BlackSeaRC]

I should imagine there will be other colour choices in the future (as they have done with the Katana).

[@beesod6412]

And it shall be named, Jimny Cricket! :P The scale on this is absolutely lovely, Thank you so much for sharing a beautiful rig!

[@pinkze]

pinkze he say " I am one of your many well earned subscribers for good reason, yet another excellent review and top trail run, really nice shots "

[@robertmurphy4573]

Excellent video on an excellent RC vehicle! Thank you for reviewing that one! I bought a Traxxas C8 Corvette at one hobby shop and then I went and visited another hobby shop to see about getting the battery and charger. The guy there did not ask me if I was a beginner or advanced and he wanted to sell me a Lipo battery and charger unit combo at full retail price. I was like okay, this does not sound right at all. I'm Not ready for a Lipo battery yet and I'm not wanting to pay full price. So I said no and I did the longer (and more scenic) drive up to my original hobby shop and they set me up with a Traxxas NiMH battery and ID charger unit and they had saved me $45 dollars too as well. With this challenging and fun hobby of RC vehicles, you got to do your research and go visit various hobby shops and compare prices.

[@caseyjonessnr1200]

Excellent video. I also like the no nonsense review. Thank you.

[@TheSkullReviews]

I just got the FMS 1/6 1970 Suzuki Jimny, its a beautiful light Jeep, period correct metal leaf spring suspension, rubber seats, and so on, and at 310.00 for a 1/6 its a deal.

[@beyond1957]

RC manufacturers out there, this manufacturer has raiised the bar, the future of RC now.

[@abhirupsaha1]

Such a detailed review! Excellent. Do you reckon it can house 1/12 scale action figures or Gi joe classified (6 in figures)

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

👋😂👍I put inside mine the perfect action figure! The Mezco one:12 vapor! And he fitted perfectly in it! Great review!

[@adrianbernardo202]

I driven of of these, but the real Suzuki Jimny, the vehicle was created for people whom love off roading with a comfortability of a Sedan, but if you are a 6+ in height, you have to adjust the seat,☺️ here in the Philippines, it was a popular vehicle, it even had a Jimny Club, they gonna love this RC version

[@kingarthursims]

I almost bought one, The color is killing me. I hope they make it available in a second color. We will see. Aside from that it looks great and performs as expected.

[@OutOfTheTopProductions]

So what does that mean ? Can I take the body off and switch it out with a different one? Does it require custom parts ? Are any of the parts interchangeable like the tires on this Rock Crawler?

[@Mike-zi2tf]

Excellent video. I have about 2 hrs before I receive it from amazon. Fms is selling it for 250 but amazon is selling it for 168. There is 1 left. Thank you.

[@fernandomartin624]

I was playing with this little. Thing at the beach this past Saturday and it looks so realistic how it goes. On the sand a thing of beauty. I want fms to do a 1/12 gladiator with 35s that is as realistic as this one.

[@TheRyaninspokane]

Mine was just delivered. There is a hood prop!

[@stacygardner7959]

nice details, might make a conversation piece for your coffee table

[@newheartdanno]

Awesome camera work!

[@alulatadesse1646]

Tjis is the best detailed factory rc i have ever seen.

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

I haven’t been able to get one that lasted more than a few hours before something failed…. I’m currently waiting on a fourth replacement unit…

[@ricardohernanpalomboguevar7113]

I think something happened to my unit too. It seems like the battery is dead or the On/Off switch is not working anymore... after 2 times I used it (No water, no dust). Did they solve your problem? Who you contacted?

[@owenisaacson724]

I hope they come out with a 1/6th scale version of it!

[@taevue]

FMS really nailed this model. 🙏

[@АлексейБезфлагов]

Great job and operator skill

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Similar to the full size Samurai years ago. Always did like those.

It’s THE day. 😆

[@BlueDually4x4]

It is a cool little rig with a lot of detail for the scale.

[@malekrcgaming2432]

Hi Greg great video i'm getting mine today, Is the motor pinion metal with setscrew? The motor seems like the same one i have in my FMS Atlas when i looked at your breakdown this motor gets extremely hot to..

[@KennethMamaril]

Do you put your lipo in storage mode to that jimny battery? I just bought mine and only have a usb charger.

[@HDeemand]

How long do the battery last from full charge?

[@thisIsRC]

Great video! You have a typo on the price on the video description.

[@rcdriver]

Doh! Thanks! Fixed

[@djraider]

I just gone one today. How do I change the suspension? The Jimny is stilting downwards right out of the box.

[@islandrc-duke1972]

cool rc and great review

[@CasperRc81]

I view one today and they have a strut aside from the coil over. Wonder if it’s fillable.

Can the Wheels be changed?

[@Stafernisy]

Its supposed to be 469?? Says 270 on horizon should I jump on it before it goes up?

[@rcdriver]

It’s $270. Forgot to change my Template. The description has been updated.

[@Stafernisy]

@@rcdriver picked it up $240 on amazon! Chose this over rc4wd 1/18 gelande I hope it was the right choice for a scale trailer.

All it needs is a drop of water added to it.

I have the real one 👍

[@rcdriver]

Lucky!

[@rcpete7055]

Does not stack up against other 1/10 scale trail trucks!! Good review but not worth the price..

[@samhulme]

What do you expect with it being a 1/12th 🤔

[@rcdriver]

Well it’s really in its own class as a 1/12-scale. It wasn’t built to stack up against a 1/10th.
