Stock FMS K5 Blazer V.S. Modded TRX4m Defender ( not really though )

[@Rs817t]

Good video btw the k5 comes with o-rings to make the shocks hold oil

[@acetiv8]

Thank you for checking it out! Indeed there are but im going to keep the friction shocks just for a little longer. Will be putting those in probably in a few weeks🤘

[@RCplamodel]

Thanks for the nice car and the video! 👍👍🚙🚙😎😁

[@acetiv8]

Thank you so much🙏 really appreciate you checking out another video! Hope you enjoyed!🤘🙌

I just recieved the black fms k5 and quickly installed brass wheel rings on all 4 corners and also added 15w silcone shock oil with the provided o-rings and greased up the portal gears (they were kind of dry). Awesome video and beautiful r/c trucks!

[@acetiv8]

Aye, i love to hear it! If you don't mind me asking what you got for the brass down below?🙏 Still pretty new to the SCX24😅 15w huh.. im interested indeed. I'll have to try that! Thank you for the greasing reminder as well! I did forget about that ha I truly appreciate you for stopping by🙌 Thank you, and I hope it's a great weekend!

[@LuisA1Million]

@@acetiv8 Thank you! FMS branded OEM K5 upgrade brass rings! You will need two packs. Factory fit

[@cat-cambodia1801]

Nice RC Friend 👍👍🤗🥰

[@acetiv8]

Thank you so much🙏 I Hope you enjoyed the video and it is a wonderful day for you🙌

[@andrewrichey7374]

Super cool, I just got two of the K5 Blazer‘s the black one and the orange and white they are beautiful rigs. Appreciate the testing video I just subscribed I’ll be following for more. This is the beauty of this awesome hobby I love it

[@acetiv8]

Thank you sir! Really appreciate you stopping by for the video and thank you so much for the subscription🙏 Truly is the beauty of this hobby. So much to have fun with, explore, create.. Its all such a blast! Hope to see you in the next one!

[@vizionct1]

Oil those shocks and better wheels/tires on k5 and do a redo. Gonna see big improvement

[@LaurenTHEKENOQUEEN]

I enjoy it it was pretty excited Ace!

[@Johnny_Guitar]

Even though the FMS Blazer is marked as '1/24 scale'....I measured mine down into the appropriate size and it comes closer to 1/19 scale because of the larger body size!

[@acetiv8]

I love the comparison brother🤘 Thank you for the insight! That will be a good thing to think about🙏 Hope all is well and thank you for stopping by!

[@nemesis8664]

Overall, even compared with the modded Traxxas, the FMS performs in similar way and looks much better. Also the quality is higher. Once you put a couple upgrades on the K5, it will leave the TRX4m in the dust.

[@acetiv8]

Finding myself wanting to pick up the K5 over the trx4m lately. Completely understood

[@justanrcguy]

Great comparison 😊

[@acetiv8]

Thank you so much🙏 I truly appreciate you taking the time to watch the video🙌 More stuff coming soon!

[@rcplaytime]

Fantastic test comparison 👍👍😀😀

[@acetiv8]

Thank you so much🙏 Hope its a great weekend for you🤘

[@realjackfrost6687]

bearings for sure smooth out the TRX4m - BUT until you put a brushless kit inside, it will always have a bit of lag or a "break" point where the drivetrain and wheels overcome the resistance. - In the real world of off-roading/overlanding, there is lag when going over things. More power needed always to manage an obstacle.

[@acetiv8]

And that's an absolute fact🤘 its amazing how much slack is in there. With the light weight aspect of the stock K5, its just so smooth🙌

[@junelopez9520]

You are so funny man with the dog.. nice video

[@acetiv8]

I know it can be a bit off-putting to some, so i gotta try🙌😅 Thank you for the kind words, and I hope it was a wonderful weekend for you🤘

[@B-TAk]

Nice comparison! When did you get your K5 and what carrier did FMS use to ship them? I' ordered the orange and white one back in April. Thanks!!!

[@acetiv8]

Thank you very much, happy to hear you enjoyed🙏 FMS shipped out with a carrier called Yun Express, side note- download the "SHOP" app to track its progress🤘 for comparison, i ordered mine back on the 28th of April. The orange and white looks so clean🙌 Can't wait till you get it!

[@B-TAk]

@@acetiv8 Thanks for the info. I have the FMS Power Wagon, I think the Power Wagon is better out of the box than my TRX4m Bronco and Defender. Great video!

[@JKevOJ]

Hey! Maybe you could help me with something. I recently bought my best buddy the K5 blazer and after one run, it won't go forward or reverse. However, he still has steering. You also cannot hear the rc when changing between gears. I've tried balancing the throttle with the plus and minus, but still no luck. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks! And love the videos

[@acetiv8]

2 possibilities i believe could be happening, was the motor and battery ever accidentally plugged into the wrong slot? (Plug battery into motor and vise versa) Or the small wire pin piece on the servo , that hooks the 2 speed pin together, could have popped out of the pin hole. Other than that.. double check the motor still works and that all the wires are in the proper place. I had that happen with my SCX24 Glatiator, just plugged in my buddies battery to test if it was completely dead and it fried my ESC😅 Not totally sure why but truly hope this helps! If nothing or if you find it, come let me know please?🤘🤘

[@scoobydoo5439]

I have both the K5 Blazer, and the TRX4M Defender, and of the two I would have to say fun factor goes to the K5 but durability, and parts availability would have to go to the Traxxas. The word on the street is since Traxxas lifted their "Cease and desist," Hot Racing maybe coming out with a two speed for the TRX4M. Just something I got told by a salesman at one of the hobby shops I go two.

[@Scxjunkie]

Fms tends to kill it in the micro division, have you seen the new fmt?

[@acetiv8]

I have and i am pretty excited🙏 Got the basecamp so im slowly throwing a few things on that then i hope to get one🤘😅

[@CoastToCoastRC]

That defender kinda looks like mine lol!

[@acetiv8]

Ayee i see you! Lovin it brotha. Hope its a great weekend!

[@michaelhudson3445]

dood... if we could cgi the blue siding into a sick ass back drop it would be and epic film lol that k5 looks realistic.

[@acetiv8]

I love the idea, just wish i had some good software for it😅

[@giopirmisashvili5514]

❤❤

[@acetiv8]

Wishing all is well🙏 Thank you for tuning in🙌

[@photosbywalt7124]

How is the TRX4M even a player without an on/off switch? (Color me spoiled)

[@acetiv8]

Fair enough😅

[@daig1984]

Trx4m out the box is hopeless

[@acetiv8]

Yeah it really struggles😂 I felt this would be a bit better of a comparison due to the K5 being rather versatile with the portals and so much suspension travel🤘

[@Rs817t]

Swap the tires and make a video pls

[@acetiv8]

Thank you for the video suggestion🙌 Ill have one up asap🤘

[@eugenioalguacil1276]

Me vais a perdonar, pero no veo una comparación justa, equitativa o imparcial , con un trx4m tan evolucionado o con tantas modificaciones. La comparación debería hacerse con ambos modelos de serie.
