SQUAREBODY OR NO TRUCK - FMS FCX24 K5 BLAZER

[@TomleyRC]

Love the running footage... that area is perfect for it 👌.

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Please do not make a mess in Texas.

[@turksandjerps]

What happens if you do? Asking for a friend also named Albert…

[@monicaloftus7073]

​@@turksandjerps then Texas will look exactly like Mexico, trash on every corner of our beautiful state , they had no respect for their own land and they have no respect for ours either , Disgraceful ,,,

[@bcochener]

@6:58 “Yeah, so that’s a thing”😅 That no back window got me too!!?? A chrome pen on the fender arches and topper window would complete it nicely. Great commentary and running as usual!

[@turksandjerps]

Chrome won't get you home

[@bigtreesfall]

For some reason, I love this review. As real as you can get. I almost ordered one of these....I went with the rock van instead.

[@turksandjerps]

I appreciate the feedback. Especially when it’s nice! Rock van is nice too!

[@RCplamodel]

FMS FCX24 K5 BLAZER!!!~~~ Wow awesome video my friend,, and cool rc car 👍👍💯

[@turksandjerps]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@thetoyota86perspective54]

This is insanely cool and super capable on the trails

[@turksandjerps]

It is and I think with a little work I can make it do better.

[@MyGTisxHUNTER07x]

What scrowdrive bit+size have you used to remove the bumber/roof section. Thx MJ

[@DMHRC]

Looks right at home on your course. Nice rig!

[@outcastrc8052]

Excellent running video Richard! Love the look of this rig. I too agree with others that this body is crying out for larger tires to give it a beefier look! Kind of like some of those high lift mods from 1.9 to 2.2 wheels that Matt did on a few larger scale rigs over at SBG.

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks 👍

[@thomasbialzik3060]

Great video. I appreciate your indepth body exploration on the other chassisisisisis. I look forward to the build video on the Magnum transformation. 👍👍❤

[@turksandjerps]

Coming soon!

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

I ordered the black one as well, can’t wait to get it!

[@jonlaird5082]

The body looks decent and in my personal opinion,I think it looks much better on the monster truck chassis especially being it has such wide wheel arches.

[@toddanderson1506]

Nice video, I would love to see more run footage with oil in the shocks.

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks, will do

[@CactusCrawlersRC]

Great video, now I want one! I like watching the "Hand of God" come into frame to save the day!

[@mr.md-11klm11]

I would love to get this one BUT! it has no interior and the taillights although this body is pretty big so it maybe can fit them. I got stuck between the Apache and this one. The Apache is great but It’s not waterproof and don’t has two speed transmission. But It definitely better in details. This one is more like a performance RC truck. This one has portals, two speeds, and It’s waterproof

[@meirdeaph]

I think they come really cool looking. Awesome video

[@fdougwillman132]

Have you tried oil in the FMS shocks that include the o-rings?

[@turksandjerps]

Sounds like a lot of extra work when I could be building dumpsters instead

[@northernlightsrc8994]

​@@turksandjerps lmfao. This is why I love this channel. Same level of humor. Hahah Awesome video Happy crawling. Kee

[@Rs817t]

I have tried it Works somewhat untill you get oil filled shocks

[@GoatneckRCC]

I like the stock run footage it’s just an honest review of the truck👍. Now when you get more time and do all the things you want to it we definitely want to see the improvements!

[@turksandjerps]

I should try a better servo and oil the shocks. And of course tires. Still waiting on time.

[@Fourwheeljive]

Looks great even thought it’s sparse. Really cool as a monster truck.

[@RC-ll1rt]

Like this one , very sharp ! Great Vid

[@turksandjerps]

Thanks 👍

[@justinart24]

Ok, now I have to buy one!

[@turksandjerps]

Did you use code TURKSANDJERPS and did you save 5%? Man, I hope so!

[@trailwomanrc]

Good job. The max smasher's smaller body might be the only FMS that is 1/24. The FCX24 is the best 1/18, and the blazer does look really nice.

[@turksandjerps]

Yes most likely the only 1/24 body. It’s tiny. FCX is very nice. I want to do a head to head test with it against the others.

[@toddanderson1506]

Thanks for comparing the size to the k10, I was curious about that!

[@turksandjerps]

I knew people would be curious. I was too!

[@tonyspencer4379]

Take your top off! WOOOOOO!

[@turksandjerps]

Oh you 🥰

[@jonmandelbaum5395]

I’d love to see how a Tamiya wild Willy body might look on this

[@darkcloud4368]

Might not be scale but I think it looks really good on the smasher. Looks like what people would have right now if they owned the 1:1 of this.

[@turksandjerps]

The word 'scale' is confusing when it's used as an adjective. Are you saying it doesn't look realistic with monster truck tires?

[@Anykine50]

The most passive aggressive RC review ever.

[@turksandjerps]

Thank you but I think some of my other reviews were more aggressive.

[@tomandrews5392]

Body look great ..Ya you see a potential for truck like and monster trucks comming..

[@Krideezy]

Rides great but why is the body obnoxiously loud 😂 sweet footage as always

[@turksandjerps]

Hard body life is loud

[@kanedaadenak7088]

DO you have the Part number for just the body? The black one? Its in the instructions. And i want it FOR MY SMASHER>>>>

[@turksandjerps]

There are several part numbers for the complete body but it's possibly these: C3088/C3089/C3090/C3113

[@alanq64]

These guys are doing a really good job of taking my money. I wonder if the inner fenders from the rock van will fit?

[@turksandjerps]

Anything could fit anything with enough cutting

[@lowercentenary]

Are just the wheels/rims interchangeable?

[@turksandjerps]

Yes, 1.0 wheels and tires with 7mm hex

[@royalss420]

everything is bigger in texas even the plates

[@turksandjerps]

Texas sized 10-4

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

The front plate is wide because everything is bigger in Texas

[@turksandjerps]

You’ve probably never even been to Texas

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

@@turksandjerps you’ve caught me in a web of influencers lies!

[@toddanderson1506]

Looks nice but I wish they offered clear windows, a simple interior, and wheel wells.

[@Simoroxigorum]

Yeah me too, i'm willing to pay more for an rtr with extra molded features.

[@turksandjerps]

I don’t think they’ll do that for the FCX trucks. None of them have had it so far, I agree it would be nice.

[@AgeOrmstad]

Hehe 😂 pedal too the metal💥🙈💪

[@jonmandelbaum5395]

This is what I wanted their 1/18’s to be like but with less detail.

[@turksandjerps]

You want less detail?

[@jonmandelbaum5395]

@@turksandjerps it has less detail than I wanted is what I mean. Which gave me an idea: convert it to the previous generation K5 with the whole top off and a full cage and as much interior as can fit, but keep the windshield. It would lower the COG and look dope at the same time. Except I’m broke and not set up to do anything like this rn anyway lol.

[@TrokaRC]

👍

[@normhienn1881]

Naaa.. This doesn’t do it for me.. All fms products look like cheep China scx copy’s.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Simoroxigorum]

Scx24 is outdated, btw your scx is also made in china like mostly everything else.. why do you think we constantly need to change parts and upgrade ? It's all cheap china junk.. but it's fun !

[@ChrisGorman87]

Putting a 1:18 scale body on a 1:24 scale chassis is a really cheap way to enter the 1:18 scale world! I think the trx4m was a slam dunk for the 1:18 scale crawler size. Don’t get upset it’s just my opinion. It’s still a nice truck but I prefer a truck that has been completely engineered in its scale.

[@Rs817t]

I agree with this but then again the fms 1/18 line is better than the trx4m in all ways

[@turksandjerps]

What makes this chassis 1/24 scale? It’s the same width and uses the same size axles and parts as other 1/18 models. With some tuning (not something I like to do) this FCX could keep up with the TRX4M. Right now I’d say that’s my two favorite small scale trucks.

[@prob6999]

The trx4m might be as good of a crawler with an extra $100. But then you have to spend another 25 if you want headlights, which this one comes with, and then if you want to go fast and still crawl like the fcx you got to put another $150 into a brushless system. So the trx4m is clearly not a good option compared to this. I have a trx4m just telling the facts

[@rrrosengren]

Real jerps have square bodies now? amazing

[@turksandjerps]

Square bodies and round lights you bet
