Nice review, and I like that FMS is putting oil filled shocks on now. The best part of the review is your son's great laughter 😃 at the end!

[@MitchellBolognaniRC]

I love my FMS K5, and this one is the best release on the Fcx24 platform yet. FairRc has something cool in the works no doubt.

[@gatorrcgames]

I was thinking the same thing about fair rc. I will get one once they put their touch on it.

[@grandehombre09]

Going to need an epic video of this thing tearing up some mud with some injora swamp claws.

[@durangatangrc]

I’m getting one, it looks so good on camera!!

[@ka4172]

Wow the most realistic and best performing mini Mog i think! I hope for a longer wheelbase and maybe a 1:10 scale in the future too ! Very nice Review!

[@BasicRC123]

Found your review really informative. I've been looking at this unimog for a while now & all the reviews seem to be good. Think it's buy time 👍

[@smokinquack89]

Really enjoy your videos and your budget $100 series. I recently picked up the Austar AX 8560 shipped for around $60 for me an my son to tinker with. I have watched multiple videos on this and it seems to be the new budget king. Would love to see how this stacks up against your other builds on your course at roughly half the cost as some of these others SCX24 and TRX. Thanks!

[@CapeCrawlers]

That little austar looks great, especially for the price!

[@johnnyhotshoe1292]

This could be a good start for a mud bogger build

[@alexcharles8541]

It’s literally already a bogger right out of the box. Threw some brass copies of the wheels on mine, and now she can run through any amount of water or mud.

[@Jerven88]

Looks great in grey, have to get one of those. Thanks for yet another great video ;-)

[@kennethrobinson9008]

Scale model RC! The stock form works nicely.

[@greggrube2948]

Awesome video Adam 👍😁

Had a 1963 Swiss Army 404S ,this will B Fun 2 💯😜👊👍✌️🦅🇺🇸🦼

[@gatorrcgames]

I want this one, but I kinda want to wait and see what Fair rc does with it before getting one.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I bet they’ll do some awesome mods for it

[@tonsoffun49]

I wonder if there are any current upgrade parts that will work with it?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Anything for the fcx24 will fit

[@tonsoffun49]

@@CapeCrawlers Awesome. Thanks for the reply.

[@skischool92]

I had the same question and just thought I’d reply on this thread in case tonsoffun49 had the same idea, but if I bought this, I would want to quickly get rid of the motor and ESC and receiver. Did that on my FCX24 PW and still have tons of trouble fitting the Furitek lizard pro, receiver, and Komodo motor in the power wagon. There’s just no room. I want to buy this Unimog in the green especially and want to do the same Furitek upgrades. Do you think it will all fit in the chassis, under the cab, and under the hood?

[@hobbyzonemodelismo]

Got prettry much all the FMS 1/12, 1/18 and 1/24 models and I am very disapointed on this drivetrain performance. While it is strong it is too much sloopy, the car moves itself 3-4cm to front/back while stationary. When going up/down obstacles this makes the car feel strange and not stable. I noticed most of this is related to the portal axle, but also from the plastic driveshaft and some portion from the 2 speed tranny as expected. The shocks also feel too stiff. Did you noticed these?

[@treytenedwards2215]

Hey i been watching a lot of you lr videos recently and ive adjusted my trx4m broncos suspension setup immensely, but im having issues with the tourqe twist preventing me from uphilling im on stock gears and motor does replacing those help.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Have you done the bearing conversion? That helps along with stiffening up the rear shocks

[@langer532]

Best 👍😃FMS

[@AlexHT100]

Would the high speed motor and wheels from the Smasher go on this u think? I’d love to make a monster truck Unimog

[@CapeCrawlers]

The motor will fit for sure. Tires might rub though

[@AlexHT100]

@@CapeCrawlersThanks dude! Best wishes from across the pond

[@AndyT0918]

I see you lost both your spotlights already. I almost lost one, it broke off inside yesterday being a little rough on it. Lucky me my 2 year old brought it to me when he found it on the floor. Glued it back on. Love this truck, best scale body they have put out

[@AndyT0918]

Also quick tip, LGRP grippers fit perfect and clear at all angles.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yep, they were gone minutes after Axel got his hands on it!

[@gaugemalchow9662]

Awesome

[@Hockey610]

Hey I love your vids I’m new and I want a scx24 is there one that is better than the other besides price thx

[@CapeCrawlers]

For performance I think the deadbolt is the best.

[@chaosholiday2525]

Fairrc released a rear topper/camper for this thing, maybe check ut out?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Ordered it yesterday!

[@chaosholiday2525]

@@CapeCrawlers sweet! Which one did you get? Painted or unpainted?

[@chrisfisherwild]

Do you ever sell crawlers after there built?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I do sometimes

[@chrisfisherwild]

@@CapeCrawlers I would like a trx4m tarantula brushless like your orange one

Awesome Adam cant wait for it to hit self,s in oz but we're still waiting on the lema to come to Australia so might be a while . great review though thanks Adam + Axail

[@sandyin203]

Both the left and right lights of your car are broken.

[@randya8856]

Great review… now, I have to spend money again thanks to you..smh

[@snörre23]

I love the Unimog, was common here since my childhood. Will skip this though and stay with my SCX24s. The bad performance (in comparison with a modded SCX24) and howling sounds kill it for me.
