A colleague of my dad took part in the ‘86 camel trophy… all the prep first and later all ‘war stories’… Oh man, did that make a lasting impression; almost 40 yrs later I pretty much jumped up for joy seeing this scale model just yet!

[@cg6684]

Same here, so excited to get this. My dad doesn't do RC stuff but I'm buying him one because I know he'll appreciate it. Such good memories of these trucks

[@TomleyRC]

Nothing like a good War story 😎👍

[@AndyRC]

Nice little Crawler. I like it much more than my TRX-4M. I found it funny when he said: I stopped putting drivers in these crawlers and would let the manufacturers do it and then proceeded to put a driver in it. Lol

Brilliant!

[@just.jose.youtube]

Damn, FMS keeps surprising me, for good reasons only!

[@Del350K4]

At last! I've spent years banging on about how under-represented the OG Range Rover is in the RC world - and at last a manufacturer has come out with a hard-body RTR Rangie! Even better - it's a cracking RC, with the kind of off-road prowess that made the full-size version legendary. I even quite like the stock wheels - and it comes with sticky tyres too!

[@TomleyRC]

Let’s pray for a nice hard body 1/10 scale!

[@Del350K4]

@@TomleyRC I always hope that my personal favourite scale, 1:12, will get more new models. WPL and their imitators have done some good work, as has Team Associated with their CR12 models, but in general it seems to be 1:10, 1:16/18, and 1:24 that attract the most buyers. I'd still be chuffed to see a 1:10 RTR Rangie, though. I mean, the thing's an absolute icon!

[@JoeOvercoat]

@@Del350K4 I just want Hasbro & the RC OEMs to agree on…pretty much any size! p.s. It does seem like 1:10 is the sweet spot for scale effects in how the vehicle rides (drives).

[@Del350K4]

@@JoeOvercoat 1:10 scale rigs do well on terrain that would stop my 1:12 stuff in its tracks. I like to go out on a bicycle with a crawler in a box on the back, which is one reason I prefer 1:12 - it's the largest rig I can easily carry, along with Tx camera, tripod, etc.

[@just.jose.youtube]

​@@TomleyRCdon't do that preying on your knees though... 😅

[@DoURC]

Glad you figured out the lights! 🤣😉 I ran the Range Rover today and it definitely performs better than the Discovery. Haven't tried the Defenders yet, but for me the Range Rover and Disco is where it's at. 👍

[@michaeldorich4485]

You did a very good review and drive. The truck performed extremely well with no updates. The oil shocks were big help. It might've been you or another reviewer who described a good crawler as composed. That applies here. These will sell very well in the UK with all the different models of British trucks/SUV's. It has a lot going for it with bearings, two speed gear box, etc.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

WANT. The Range Rover is definitely the best of the bunch. Nicely proportioned with the wheel and tire setup and the looks are stellar. Performance seems on par with the rest of the package. I'm sure mountains of upgrades will become available.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, this one certainly is the best looking

3:04 when I was in the display industry, a supplier brought me in VHB velcro. It had wire fuzzies and you needed to slide a knife or slim jim between it to get it apart. I think it was rated at 120 lbs psi? I had speakers on the dash board of my boat that had 2 thin strips. People were always worried about them flying off in rough seas..."yeah right, you can't PULL those off" (many tried)

Very cool little truck.

[@deezrcz]

Awesome little crawler! You should put this new version up against the trx4m bronco and newest scx24 with oil shocks. That would be a great video! It would help a lot of people decide on which one to buy. Like myself.

[@thindigital]

The drivetrain back lash looks to be reduced from the previous models, probably the straight axles, less gears, less lash.

[@Sidecharacter1912]

[@TomleyRC]

Yes 👌

[@Pablo668]

That little truck is a pearler. Crawls really well. I like how when you were talking yourself up the was this embarrassed silence. RC people are just a bit different. I was thinking you could do a comparison between whatever newer crawlers are about and the ones from a couple years back. See if there is a difference.

I’m telling you! FMS should make a esc system for 24’s or all scale for that matter , to be able to drive 2 or plus cars at a time I would drive all my rigs at once

[@BetriebAnin]

I don’t think it will come close to the aftermarket support of the SCX24, TRX4M, and even FMS’s FCX24, but it’s not built for that. It’s built for super scale looks and driving, and I love it for that.

Man, your videos are really scratching an itch for me. I've had so much fun bashing my old Tamiya Fighter Buggy when I was young, but haven't done much RC anything for quite a while. I am really tempted to go for a crawler this time, because I don't really have a track for the buggy around. At least none without "proper 800€ Buggy-Snobs" xD

[@christianrotola3]

Oh, I really like it. It's so cute and with all those details. Where did you find that figurine you put inside? It fits perfectly! I have a 1/24 scale but I can't find a driver with the right proportion. And if I find it, in the end, it's not as detailed as yours. Please tell me where you found it :D Going back to talking about the beautiful FCX24M; Haven't you noticed that the transmission is counter-rotating? I think this is a great touch

[@TomleyRC]

I often grab a handful of cheap figures from various toy shops and then put them all in a box… and when I have a new truck I see what will fit. Yes, noticed the counter rotating trans 👌

[@1622_SCALE_DIVISION]

I served my time as a mechanic with Range Rovers and Land Rovers back in the very early 70s, love them to bits, all of them.

[@verpine3534]

FMS did a proper troll of Axial and Traxxas! I thought the same about the Range Rover being the least seen style of Rover in RC, and that's the one I ordered. I also ordered the 110 because I've always loved that model. Thanks for the review!

[@JoeOvercoat]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I suggest what they’re doing here is leveraging the market familiarity with the terminology that TRAXXAS has established. p.s. Range Rover on pre-order. 😊
