0:54 Thank you for this part, bringing the old model to the table shows how big of a professional you are... no other channel did that... some not even pictures... and we need to remember, compare, understand what really changed.

[@TomleyRC]

First

[@unloveableandre]

Dude! Hahahahah

[@tylerr6754]

C10/20/30 were 2WD 1/2, 3/4, and 1 trucks, and the K10/20/30 were the 4WD versions. They were indeed available in 3 wheelbases: 2-door shortbed, 2-door longbed (which this model is a replica of), and a 4-door crew cab version. I used to have a '77 K10 longbed so I'm going to have to get one of these. It seems like everyone else only makes shortbed RC models so it's awesome to see a longbed for once.

[@DPWian]

I’m so glad I went with the black/orange FCX18 K10! That color is amazing.

[@unloveableandre]

yes, yes

[@MangoJim90]

Maybe the neutral gear is for towing? 😏 Just to neutralise any gearbox resistance 🤭 Matt would be pleased 😂

[@tomley_rc]

haha

[@FastSS02]

LOL was waiting for the Peppa Pig reference!

[@unloveableandre]

Man, I am in love with this version... being up to scale is so so important. Makes a huge difference. Great review, BTW

[@rantsandreviews]

K10 is 4WD...C10 is 2WD.

[@AlidArido]

Have you flipped the front screws . I think the drag link is limited by the screws, same as fcx24 models

[@BigFatCone]

Nice Devastator wheels there Phil.

[@FastSS02]

Mine didn't get the fancy red lettering. That thing is so pathetically slow I wish I hadn't wasted the money on it!

[@MittenpunKt]

It's a good day when the trombone comes out. Also great video, could have been a main channel video imo

[@Solatso]

If not for the two-tone I'd go for the black one as I love my LC80 (hard to argue with that 2-speed) but I prefer the TRX4M Hightrail K10 body more. I do REALLY like the working tailgate though, FMS really does a great job with their hardbodies.

[@Mr.NiceGuy80]

Harley Davidson riders will like the black and orange one. It'll match their wives, their jackets, and everything else they own that is black and orange to signify they are Harley riders.

[@RCDEPENDANT]

Those are called HARDLY riders, they buy the latest Harley ,spend the same amount the bike cost on upgrades, and a trickle charger so their $50,000+ harleys battery doesn't go flat while it sits in the garage for 364 days out of the year. I'm 32 , I've owned 6 Harleys and have done just over 120,000 kilometers on Harleys in the last 11 months, I don't wear orange, I don't wear harley branded clothing, and I can't see myself in the paint or chrome on my Harley! My Harley is covered in dirt and caked on bug splatter just like my helmets and shades. A lot of people buy Harleys just to sound like they're cool, but only take their fat wives for a 5 minute ride to a Cafe or pub for craft beer or coffee once or twice a month in summer, then I love sports bike and classic bikes too. I also wave to all riders, including power rangers.

[@Fly2kill1]

@@RCDEPENDANTdidn’t they move all production to China a few years ago?

[@alantaylor353]

BWAHAHAHAHAAA HAHAHAA 😅 😅 😅 😅

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Funny after reading how good black orange one looks I was just thinking dam he’s right but my Harley is red and white and I like to match it sometimes painting basher body’s 😂😂 last comment I read and reminded to look at red white , do you guys think same set up at the masher ? I can just add the M/T wheels 🛞 I already have a set

[@Jeeplee_rc]

I love my orange and white k5!

[@themoldcars]

How hard would it be to repaint that body? It would look awesome as a Fall Guy truck. Any fans of the old t.v. show Fall Guy out there?

[@Naptime48]

can more than likely get an unpainted one, they have them for most other rigs

[@FastSS02]

There's kits for the FCX24 K5 to turn it to a GMC with a front grill swap and there's someone offering the decals to scale. You'd just have to scuff and mask the body and paint the appropriate colors.

[@FastSS02]

@@Naptime48 they only show painted body kits on their parts page.

[@Naptime48]

@@FastSS02 ah, maybe in time. Deffo seen fall guy eagle decals on ebay

[@anthonyrawsthorne656]

Only reason I'd buy one!! 🙄😁

[@William-McCueRC]

i will have a slew of 3d printed parts avalible for this truck soon! ive got it out and running and its awesome! just needs some new tires.

[@vincehatina6987]

Blk and orange looks the coolest lol js

[@MCsCreations]

What an awesome little truck, Phil! 😃 Fantastic ride and review!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@REACTIVETERRAINRC]

About time you put these mini crawlers to work and come visit reactive terrain UK number one minicrawler course 😂 yeah that's right where claiming it..

[@GSG-lc5zm]

Either - black or mustard... Hard choice.. I think looks alone,, the black one... BUT for looks plus running,, the mustard 😉

[@midnightdrives5112]

The outro music is a banger!!

[@FastSS02]

FMS offers an interior with a driver as an option. They make it look like it comes with the older version interior in several pictures, but it's not listed as an option on their accessory page for it.

[@alantaylor353]

WHAT A COOL LITTLE TRUCK.!.👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 😉

[@myharryface]

Yay more videos on channel 2!!! Thanks Phil.

[@unloveableandre]

I got mine today. The only thing I didn't like so far is the absurd size of the wheels. I have spare tires and wheels, and they will look way scale but, man, those wheels are comically big. Oh, well, also the tow hook hole is so out of place. They did a way better job with the LC80. I have spare hitches as well 😅

[@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f]

Have you ever done a video explaining the technical terms you use, and what they mean and how to enable such features. EG: Drag Brakes, Dual Rates etc etc? TIA EDIT, Just watched your other K5 video lol, so now my question is, are these specific functions per vehicle, set up by manufacturer, or do all RC cars have these, and you just need to set up your Tranny to enable them, Newish to RC after a 30 year gap, and they have gone from wright brothers flight to space shuttle in that time.

[@FastSS02]

Yeah, it's amazing all the technological advances in RC since the mid 80's to mid 90's when I was really into it until now!

[@julianorozco761]

Hola Mr Tomley estan bonitos estos pequeños camiones , muchas gracias mi Amigo ❤❤

[@unloveableandre]

Maybe FMS will start selling the interior with clear windows as a kit? But the shocker column holes in the bed were a miss though

[@robertwilliams9153]

Bro you need to do a video on some super scale servo suspension

[@lyricofwise6894]

This looks good!

[@deanlorow1455]

Just move your tail light plug on 10 scale

[@unloveableandre]

Yes, yes, yes and YES!

[@unloveableandre]

Got mine in black, some moneys going your way (hopefully) as I used your link for FMS store. Cheers

[@Steve_J81]

This truck looks amazing but I'm holding out for a Hilux version, I notice the original Hilux is now showing as discontinued.

[@matusknives]

I have a bit mixed feelings. The original one looked more scale, but obviously technically this one is much more advanced. The wheels appear way too large. The suspension is set up for crawling (stiffer) rather than scale trailing as it lack some plushness. But I am going to guess that it would not be super hard to tune a little to one's desire. Yeah, the dimmed windows and no interior are a bit of a bummer.

[@tobydyes]

are you going to get a Maxx slash

[@silverarrowgarage7615]

New viewer here. Good stuff on several levels. Question: Where's a good source for 1/12 Driver figures? (Promise not to make this a protracted change ;) Thanks - Mark

[@Isuzu_Paul]

The k10 is a large vehicle 131 on the wheelbase if memory serves, and that's the regular cab. I personally love the black truck. I do wish they did it full black too. The steering angle.... Does the axle have the screw that blocks it?

[@bendog_8473]

Nice video. The truck Looks so nice. Want them so bad 😃👌🏼. Does anyone know when it will be available in Europe?

[@badeyes83]

TRX4m defender/Bronco have shorter wheelbase then the k10/f150 high trail. My son has the Bronco and I have a k10 fairly heavily modified

[@joanneramos1085]

My grandson got this truck as a gift and we cannot figure out how to set it up. Can you help

[@RoostedFilms]

I like the 1/10 scale blazer better but this a great looking truck.

[@FuddButter]

They need to change the diff gears to metal, my FCX18 lasted about 30min or driving before it broke mine and had to order parts to fix it.

[@jamesfzj2495]

This truck has the same controller as my FTX outback fury mini 1/18 , and my absima 1/24 crawler

[@zionjarman3610]

I'm kinda annoyed that they didn't put metal diffs in it I've stripped mine on my glacier and wanted to upgrade and get this one but jesus they didn't upgrade that

[@charlieshankles]

I'll wait for the suburban bodied one

[@oohahitsanrccar1913]

I put my Devastator wheels on a Carisma subaru brat 1/24 for same mud truck reason has more wheel speed than the Dev.

[@alantaylor353]

RC4WD would charge you £350 for that.! 😉 😉

[@MasterApeFPV]

Quick question: whats the difference between this and the Fcx24? Werent the FCX24 Powerwagon deemed to be more 18 scale?

[@wolfkingsigma2795]

How do you take the top of the truck off? Thanks

[@BetriebAnin]

I think this truck has a bit of an identity crisis. It’s super scale, apart from the fact that it has portal axles. K10s are by far my favorite truck and it’s just a bit disappointing for me to see the portals on this. If I get one, I’ll probably swap those axles for some Treal/Injora straights though so not a huge deal.

[@a-guy1912]

I designed an rc car I would have no indicators on it

[@seanhayden7151]

The Jeep was a flash in the pan. Didn’t last long

[@boduke9428]

Not crazy about smaller stuff. The Omni term will ɓe my smallest if they ever ship. It's gonna be hard not to add one of the big and small ones of these to the collection based on looks alone.

[@Dirtbiker4life]

Shame they added portals and had to cut the bed, I was about to buy one but I’d rather find another original fms k10 and lift/2 speed swap it like I did on the original and still look more scale.

[@Dirtbiker4life]

They need to go back to being scale instead of focusing on performance. I have a full-size crewcab squarebody i occasionally daily drive and they are nothing like this in real life.

[@tobydyes]

RED

[@joergerich]

How does it compare to the FCX24 Chevi?? Just finished upgrading everything w Injora and Furitek parts.. 😢

[@tomley_rc]

The FCX24 is really good. These 1/18 are a little bigger and have the advantages and disadvantages over the smaller ones

[@s104x486]

Could we see them side by side?

[@decal1751]

Can't you just clip the wires for the turn signals? 😂😂 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@unloveableandre]

I am only concerned with your strategy for having 2 channels. Experts say you should always bring everything to the main one, the maximize views, et cetera. If it's the same content, one channel. But, I don't understand s*** about it. Cheers

[@tomley_rc]

My back to back videos through December on the main channel made me realise that there is a better way to grow. I'm switching some over here but my priority is still the main channel. If I'd released 2 videos on the same day on the main channel, it would have had a negative impact.

[@unloveableandre]

First like and view lol cool and first comment

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

sorry, i cant get excited about this model due to plastic diff gears

[@FastSS02]

It's $20 per axle to upgrade to metal gears.

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

yes and that makes it rather expensive for a 1/18th model @@FastSS02

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

lol can’t please everybody 😂 what if the plastic gears ⚙️ last , aren’t the main brands pladtic to not as scale or have 2 spd for the same amount? I wanted the masher and didn’t want spend 179 , I wonder can just add the wheels to this .

[@stephenkelly8065]

$399 so that will probably be £500 in the U.K. ?! Or a Banggood special ? 🤔 mmmm??
