It’s MASSIVE - The RC Truck You ALL Wanted!

This is the NEW FMS Toyota FJ40 RC Trail Truck and it's what you all wanted, a large scale, hardbody RC Car/Truck/Crawler. It says 1/10 scale, but I'm sure it's way bigger! Wheelbase puts it at around 1/8 or 1/7, so might be too big for some of you!

If I'm allowed to sound wanky for a moment, there probably hasn't beena better time to be an RC addict. So many companies putting out good product. This truck looks really good, and looks like it goes well. I am starting to feel like a broken record tbh.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, certainly a good time for RC recently

[@trevorcourt1403]

Definitely

FMS is killing it in the scale game lately. Loving this FJ40. I would LOVE to see them do the 80-Series Land Cruiser in 1/10.

[@Jyden_Carmody]

Yeah mate! They do that and I'll be one of their first customers 🤙

[@ThaCatMan]

I'm surprised someone hasn't re created topgear boliva special with these things

[@546268]

I want to see a 60 like my real one!

[@idworkhard]

the badges on the back do curl/wrap a bit around the body bend. There are lots of reference images online that show exactly that. I really wish they had come up with a leaf sprung suspension though.

[@areldcookie5581]

I really hope FMS blow up ! They put out some of the best budget models

[@dietznutz1]

How are they gonna make cool rc trucks if they blow up 😢

[@decal1751]

You often sound like a kid when you're driving the RC's with the yeahs, the nice, and all and i just want to say i absolutely love it man! makes me feel like I did when i was a kid out playing with my rc cars and trucks!!...😊..👍🏻..❤..😁..🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sol029]

Get out there with a modern RC. They are incredible! You'll be smiling like a ten year old at Xmas

[@Bullwinkle39]

I think some slightly stiffer damping would do it a lot of justice. Not much stiffer, just enough to slow the body roll slightly

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, thicker oil I guess

[@Bullwinkle39]

@@TomleyRC yeah thicker oil

[@muskokamike127]

4:11 holy crap that's some scale detail there, operating door handles? and padded bench seats? damn...fms is upping their game.....

[@watch-box]

Great Scale/Trail truck. I own their 1/6 Suzuki Jimny, and after raising the suspension - adding bigger wheels and (in the process of) painting and adding a patina to the body - I have a great trail rig. I have swapped the esc to a 1080, and you are right, it makes all the difference. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@stuartmarshall7099]

I need to see this!

[@DomVito87]

I got a few of those jimnys... cant beat it for 150 shipped!

It’ll look good with a Christmas tree strapped down on it 😅

[@Molekulasti]

I can see it. Cheers, Tomley.

[@shmatto1]

Hey Phil, for those wanting leaf springs, apparently the 1/10 Atlas front & rear leaf spring upgrade kits from FMS are a direct fit onto this also. #winning

[@mkv6spd]

Tomley your humbleness and attention to detail about the rcs you show are amazing. Thank you for giving us great content to watch 🙂

[@davidmelo6930]

The metal 4wd and Toyota badges are the correct size. I drive a real fj40 and the real badges are curved so they wrap around the quarter panel. Cheers! Great vid btw

[@ClassicSteelRC]

Awesome video and absolutely sweeeet rig Phil! So, I did the conversions of all the measurements and rounded them off slightly. The wheelbase is 1/6.74 scale, the length is 1/6.78 scale, and the width is 1/6.22 scale. I get the whole "10th scale" as a roundabout size for rigs, but it's way too big to run it with a lot of 1/10 scale rigs in comparison to them. My RedCat Gen8 is also marketed as a 1/10 scale but it's actually 1/7.84 scale, and it's enormous next to many 1/10 scale rigs so I can't even imagine how this would look next to a true 1/10 scale rig. The moral of the story is that I want one so badly! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@andygrace3825]

Nice review, looks great on the trail, think RC4WD do an FJ40 but I expect its like £600- £1000

[@skipperstan]

I always love the body roll on these big RC trucks. I had a FTC Kanyon, loved the body roll on that. Great video as always Tomley!

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, it’s actually pretty good if you drive it ‘scale’…. If you just go flat out everywhere it just looks wrong

[@skipperstan]

Absolutely!@@TomleyRC

[@skipperstan]

P.S. Great camera views under the chassis, very nice touch. 🤘@@TomleyRC

[@objetty11]

I bought my Toy FJ40 in 1973 new for $3400 new. Buffed it up with goodies from ORW and proceeded to drive all through the Baja ( Norte and Sur ) our local mountains ( Southern Calif ) and 4 years later sold it to a real estate developer for $ 3 grand even. My 2nd favorite vehicle # 1 was my 59 MGA....Aloha

[@LukazRC]

RC4WD already done a FJ40 series in 1/10 but it's good to have a new one so hopefully it will become more common in Australia as our crawler meets are majority Toyota's rather than jeeps... I hate the fact it's LHD tho but if a let down 👎 but not all bad it's got a Queensland plate tho haha the state I'm from

[@MauzyrockRC]

Loved the under shots or chassis shots! Great model for sure!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@scultura44]

Nice one. So are we going to get to see a follow up? I wanna see heavy weighted wheels, upgraded tyres. Better esc. Surely this thing will have on some decent crawler stuff as well…?

[@NBC_NCO]

FMS always make great scale looking vehicles. One day.

[@TomleyRC]

Agree

[@53rdcards]

So much attention to the details of the body, even putting in a servo so the steering wheel turns, but they still do the chassis mounted steering servo instead of axel mount. and everything under it is plastic. I think its price is good, much lower than i was expecting, but id pay a little more for improvements that are going to make it operate better, rather than just look better.

[@TomleyRC]

It’s certainly not perfect, but I’d say for the price… yes, it’s decent 👌

[@reddsshaker3477]

RC4WD has had a 1/10 Gelande “Cruiser” (FJ40) on the market for years. Hardbody, highly detailed, complete interior. You can get it as a kit, or RTR.

[@static_bolt]

Very cool, looks almost identical as the 1970 F40 I had. even the rear seats look the same

[@HellaNorCal916]

The Python X and Perentie would probably be a great combo in this Rig. It looks like it would benefit from a true slow crawl.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes probably

[@cogboy302]

A bunch of Aussies recently drove an electric converted full-size FJ40 across Darwin Harbour. - 30 metres underwater. 8 kilometre crossing. Took them about 12 hours. They were asked if they were worried about crocodiles. "Nah mate, the sharks have eaten all rhe crocs." There are videos of their little adventure on this here KZbin. It's worth a watch.

[@phildavis4878]

Any Trail truck that doesn't have the whiny sound is pretty cool I hate it when you hear the server Aulani that's a nice little truck though

[@michaeldorich4485]

Is a beautiful rolling, scale model trail truck, as you said. The way it rolled from side-t-side was very realistic and it looked an explorers rig going across the plains of some unexplored country. With all the detail I can't believe there is no battery strap or bar. This is an excellent review.

[@ismanapribadi8842]

with slow mo the the suspension play looks so realistic, awesome !

[@PaliAha808]

I'm a new viewer. This is the 1st video I've seen of a pre made, pre painted RC model. I'm so glad because I can't do anything except maybe put on the wheels

[@rcjono]

Omg that is a beauty, despite the small oversights, FMS nails it again

[@DMHRC]

The FJ looks great. It would look great with a patina finish.

[@BlueDually4x4]

FMS does the scale looks really well. A friend in high school a long time ago had an FJ40 and I remember it seemed to bounce a lot... might have needed new shocks.

[@alulatadesse1646]

Wow RC is finally doing what I have always dreamed of. Realistic interior realistic exterior with fully opening panels. Even the driving motion is realistic with soft suspension with body roll. If the tires were a bit softer it will be perfect.

[@PhilipCockram]

Good review . The super scale stuff is getting better all the time .

[@Casitascrawlers]

That’s been me saying if they get into 1:10 scale the other major players best take notice they already own the small scale world. Right when I saw it & how it performs for the price I knew I’m getting one it was that quick. This is a nicely ace scale RC from what I’ve seen the shocks need to be replaced but it ran nicely & looked great doing it. Definitely have to get some passengers for it. 4:20

[@stewartj1998]

Pretty nice rig indeed, your channel is the best youtube channel on the Interweb!!! Keep posting them up so I can relive my childhood from "across the pond"

Yeah, let's see what they give us in the next 12 months!

[@patrickhubscher3719]

It is not real 1/10.... It is more like 1/7

There is a guy that makes License plates here in the USA, you can have them made for whatever state you want so maybe even the UK? not sure. But the USA plates are awesome, and you can get plastic or metal!

I put a 1080 esc and winch + other accessories on mine and I’m always amazed how scale it looks driving around. The 1080 makes a huge difference in drivability too.

[@timbuktu6730]

If this body fits on the 1/10 RC4WD FJ40 chassis I'll be amazed. RC4WD need a kick up they ass to get moving with new and improved models / bodies.

Today at the FMS festival they revealed the new models 1:10 scale crawlers that look just like the mini Blazer with all the features of a TRX 4 plus more with new never before seen light mounts. There’s a new king in the RTR 1:10 scale crawler world. I spoke to the owner & they will be available in November I did get pictures of them & the chassis it’s the most well thought out 1:10scale RTR I’ve ever seen. They didn’t want to let go of the price yet but he did manage to give me a few clues.

[@thewizardjohn]

nice rig - if that is 1/10 scale then it is 1/10 scale of some other vehicle, that thing is huge, its 1/8 at best, that vehicle is kind of compact irl

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, 1/8 or even bigger

Superb review...this kind of video you hope the manufacturer will watch and take notes...

[@Rex_Stuph]

With a 330mm wheelbase, that's not 1/10 😄 The shorty 40 had a 2.3 meter wb, so 90 inch. Scales in 1/10 to the same as the Tamiya CC01 Fj40. That's 1/7th. No wonder it's huge. But it is indeed nice!

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah… it’s way bigger

[@GeeShocker]

That would make it a nice buddy for the Element Bushido, which is also actually 1/7th scale.

[@Indy64738]

Exactly… 😁 but it’s cool… waiting for the 1/24… my garage is too small..

Well I was gonna wait for the v3 lc80 fcx18 to drop, but the wife gave me the ok on this bad boy. It looks incredible. I'm glad they are branching out into the larger scales, although I wish they would just call these 1/7-1/6 it's got almost an inch and a half more wheelbase then my axial scx10 II. I just gotta figure out ...yellow... Or blue.

[@d4ve587]

You be scared to crash that. Detail amazing.

[@wheelsdownrc6348]

And noooooooo blinkers “indicators” when you turn the wheel 💯👍

[@darrelljacobjr2120]

Someone forgot to install the iconic FJ40 roll cage as well. I bought a used Traxxas Summit then 40 series Mickey Thompson tires on the stock rims for a more scale look. That made the wheelbase too short so i chopped it in half and added 4-5 inches to the middle. Cut the driveshaft and put a wood dowel inside, sleeved thinwall tube outside. My intention is to build an FJ45. I own a full-size 1971 FJ40 to measure from. Eventually i may replace the independent suspension with 3D-printed straight axles for better realism.

[@andreRC88]
