The FMS K5 BLAZER! Best MINI Crawler in 2023?

[@beyondRC]

Want to get your hands on the new FMS K5 Blazer? Get one here: www.fmshobby.com/products/fms-1-24-fcx24-chevrolet-k5-blazer-rtr?ref=56ZHKUzmfNtnVf Sadly the promo code now longer works 😢 What do you think of this awesome little crawler? Better than the TRX4-m?

[@lignumdefender8783]

First proper RC car I’ve gotten to start the hobby and is seems like the best one I could’ve possibly gotten

[@TimbukTu0264]

Great review. I am 59 years old and I am new to crawlers but been in rc since 1990. I have the smasher v2 and the rochobby magnum vintage. Both greatly scaled ve 0:52 hicles. FMS rules in my book! 👍😊

[@beyondRC]

they sure do!

[@davidroberts6085]

I would like to see review of one when the shocks have been converted to oil filled

[@beyondRC]

Coming soon along with other upgrades!

[@ifonlyiwerebelgian]

Just used your 5% code to order one of these. Nice one!

[@leviplankplank9827]

Got mine yesterday glad you actually went through some water i was looking everywhere trying to find out if the electronics were waterproof! Great review video my man

[@davidroberts6085]

Looks stunning and capable from reviews i have seen of them. Myself i think the red one set up as a pick up with the roll cage looks cool. But with the body on the black one wins

[@beyondRC]

definitely!

[@scalerockrc]

Pre-ordered one the day it dropped! Got the orange and white....I think lol. I was stoked for this release and got ahead of myself when ordering.

[@isaacbilodeau2879]

Been doing an EXHAUSTING amount of re-search on these little rigs and I was almost sold on the trx4m until I started seeing the reports of servos blowing out and ESC's catching on fire. Axial is cool but doesn't have the two speed tranny. Plus this also has a brass upgrade market?!? This seems to be the best bang for the buck out of all the 1/24 scale cralwers

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

awesome Ricky! This is another great one put out by FMS! Scale is 50% of the game when it comes to crawlers. Would really like to see it next the TRX-4m. If this is truly more of a 1:18 thaa a n I’m in! Thanks for showcasing this so well brother. Take care !👊🏼😎🍻

[@beyondRC]

Thanks bro will try and get my hands on a TRX4-M to compare!

[@Cbam871]

Hello, based on stuff I've seen they look to be the same scale, I own 3 trx4m's an bought 2 k5's because the orange looked too good to skip on too

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

@@Cbam871 That’s good to know. I like the sound of that! Thanks! 👊🏼😃

I THINK FMS IS GOING TO HAVE A VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR THIS YEAR!!! (04/18/23) ✅

[@beyondRC]

For sure! I'm sure they have even more great stuff coming soon ;)

[@ghostinng274]

Ive seen too many good reviews for this thing so i bought one. Im so excited! The black one was out of stock sadly, but the brown one is just as cool

[@JordanMosom]

Hi, thanks for the detailed information about this rc. I am looking to get a smaller scale crawler, and so far I like this Chevy, and the Lc80 by FMS too. My question is which is the better performer between the 2? I love the brown Chevy as it gives me Nostalgic tv show from childhood.

[@leonardorasi2940]

I love it I bought one

[@Hoots_Golf]

Could you put a small trailer on this crawler or is it to bouncy

[@skumbria6666]

I'm not fan of crawler's , but that one looks great for that price... Great video.

[@beyondRC]

Same. I rarely do crawling vids but can appreciate a decent crawling when i see one.. and this is one!

[@patrq]

How does it compare to the blue Glacier?

[@roblowrie1969]

This is a great looking little truck, and friction shocks aside, I would definitely look at that, over the TRX4M, especially given all the BS Traxxas (sic) have been up to recently!! Great video as well. Nice job. 😎👍🏻

[@beyondRC]

Totally agree! Thanks mate!

[@stefan-norge]

Shocks can be oil filled, you get all the o-rings etc. when you purchase the K5. It makes a hug difference regarding body roll and bouncing…

[@roblowrie1969]

@@stefan-norge yeah, I saw the o rings in the video. I just don't understand why they don't come with oil out of the factory. 🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻

[@oBsRVr666]

OT question: does anyone know what C rating a WlToys 144010 requires? I bought some Ovonic batteries (2200mAh, 3S, 25C, AIR type) and the car doesn't move forward or backward with these packs hooked up. Servo/Steering works and fan is spinning too but no deal with actually moving the car. I can only come to the conclusion that the current delivery capability is not high enough on these batteries. Does anyone know if 25C is enough for a 144010? I got the Ovonics for free in the end but still this is very disappointing if this is the case.

[@notsweep]

awesome crawler!

[@anthonytuccillo6274]

Anyone wondering, yes its "technically" 1/18 scale even though its part of the 1/24 lineup.

[@Traxxbandit]

the trx4m offers way more flexibility. you can change the trans missions to speed med speed and crawler. has more things to go with it. but over all the price is the same. but why choose something that is less less options and same price when i can get more with the trx4m? also traxxas offers a trailer.. traxxas has a wider range of after market stuff then fms. also axial has a good list of the 1/24 and more. so two i would use.

[@345berry]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@beyondRC]

Thanks for the visit

[@catcancrunch7260]

When crawling slow it really does look like proper body roll, it's also really nice looking TBF thanks for your upload 👍🙏🐱

[@beyondRC]

Its a great little truck! Really enjoyed it :)

[@TimsRcsurgery]

Just found your channel, great content!! The YT algorithm really needs to work better…. 😃

[@beyondRC]

Cheers Tim! Yes it does!

[@knoxirving377]

What’s going on with Traxxas?

[@No-rh6zp]

They removed after market upgrades for the trx4m and people are really mad all though trx4m performs good people want to build it to the best but traxxas does not want that

[@edgargarcia9530]

🇺🇸Again a great video 👍seriously this Blazer looks detailed and strong for its size 💪 FMS has a great line up this year ohhhhh your video shots are awesome on this video THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY 🇺🇸

[@beyondRC]

Thanks man!

[@nicolatesla2315]

Already a fan of your channel. The short of this video….

[@benlait3696]

It moves like one of those jiggly hula girls you put on your dash. Cool looking though.

[@beyondRC]

hahaha true!! I think I will convert to oil filled and see if it makes a difference!

[@Mikey23058]

That transmitter looks like the new model from dumborc 🤔

[@beyondRC]

I have one of those new dumbo rc :)

Give me one please 😢I don’t have money to buy these cars

[@fredrieger5226]

You’re comparing apples to oranges, seems you’re another one going woke on Traxxas, do your research and look closely what they did and why and now it has been remedied. Shock are positively horrible as are the tires with very little grip. 2 speed is real good.

[@beyondRC]

I don’t care what traxxas do.. I love my xmaxx.. it’s public knowledge they have received bad feedback lately.. stating facts meanwhile there are channels who tell people they are against them in every way possible but own 10 of their models.. now that my friend is a hypocrite

[@RCAddix]

tired of traxxas hate. they did nothing wrong.

[@prob6999]

Aside from the trx4m letdown, you haven’t heard of what they did?

[@valuerc2664]

For the same price of a Traxxas I would never buy Chinese knockoff

[@beyondRC]

Its officially licensed by Chevy.. Traxxas is made in Taiwan its not a 100% USA Brand.. You like a lot of people forget almost everything is made in china or close to china. What we are paying for is the brand name ;)

[@valuerc2664]

@@beyondRC this can not be further from the truth. Buying products from Taiwan is not the same as funding Chinese communist party machine, no matter how Taiwan is close to China
