The ONLY Mini RC Crawler Needed! FCX24 Unimog

[@WCPRCModelsCraft]

Unimogs are COOOOOL FMS done it again, lovely looking models

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, they look really good… the Green with Red wheels is very ‘British Farmer’ looking.

[@mikemangiameli561]

Nothing wrong being a fan boy of a company that puts out quality products. It's nice to buy something and have fun with it for a while before you start modifying it. I see no hand in this video lol

[@davidm8584]

Admittedly, I'm not a crawler fan but the intro humor was entertaining enough for me to watch it through. Kudos for addressing the elephant in the room about sell out product endorsements. I had another good laugh when you put Yoshi in the cab 😂😂. Adding a driver is the cherry on top to any build! Another entertaining video. Bravo!

[@smallmodelcollector]

Love the slow speed. Let's hope someone makes a micro crawler with similar features.

[@caseys_cozy_garage]

Fcx 24 and 18 are the ultimate adventure trucks cuz they are fast enough to walk with. I love mine dearly

[@Jeeplee_rc]

Love my blazer. With oil shocks, and a few mods it's a very capable scale rig! Good platform

[@TomleyRC]

Agree 👌

[@nunocarneiro464]

With a little bit of paint that thing will definitely look awesome

[@TomleyRC]

Agree

[@kokhowe]

I'm so glad you highlighted the tilting issue. My 1/12 FMS Defender 2 tilts slightly to the right as well. I wonder if many of the FMS vehicles have this problem as well.

[@TR850]

Well, finally one where this style of wheels actually makes sense. Better late than never…

[@roblowrie1969]

These are getting better than the SCX24 now. That looks great, and goes just as well. Ive always loved the Unimog, from the real thing, to the Tamiya body version. This is great. ❤️

[@JD-tl7ld]

I wouldn't go that far. The SCX line has a ton of aftermarket support. FMS has some, but not nearly as much as the SCX.

[@jamesdawson8306]

I can confirm the real unimogs are great I have two

[@roblowrie1969]

@@jamesdawson8306 lucky man. 😎👍🏻

[@88davidw]

Love the FMS cars. They look so good. One day I might finally buy one! Great review as always 👍🏼

[@shaunodriscoll]

That’s cool. I think if the inside of the cab and rear bed were backed in black, coz the sun shone through, and then some weathering it would look absolutely awesome! I’ll let you do that. Must not buy one , must not buy one , must not buy one 😂😂😂

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, a bit of weathering would be awesome. Buy…buy… buy 😅

[@Pablo668]

Great work as always. These look really good, and very tempting as I really like the old Unimog.

[@muskokamike127]

I think this would be an excellent platform if someone wanted to build a scale crawler. You could go crazy with this thing with details. Steel grey paint for the tanks and stuff on the sides, rust on the fenders, replace the plastic box sides with real wood, paint the hinges silver and rusty.

[@Stempy]

Spintires come to life. Or Snow Runner for the youngins 😂

[@MangoJim90]

Cute driver selection 😅🤗🤩

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@3Y3ECE]

I still prefer to set the turning indicators on the 3 way toggle switch. It's like a real car, if I want to use my blinkers, I will flick them on and off the good old fashioned manual way... Only takes an ESC switch and an open channel with a 3 way switch (usually channel 3 or 4). But I agree with ya, the indicators are usually automatic and irritating. Very excited for the 1/24 unimog. Didn't get the bigger versions quite yet, because aftermarket part availability needs time to grow. But the 1/24 platform has oodles of options these days, so this is ready to rock and upgrade straight out of the box, so that is a huge win for me!! As always, great vids, love your channel, my number 1 go-to for anything RC. Keep up the great work!

[@michaeldorich4485]

This another excellent review. It's a great looking truck and it performed very well. It went nose down in the water and survived very well. I think, as you mentioned, it would be a great trail tuck. It's easy to tote around and you could carry several batteries very easily. I am sure the scale builders and modelers will have a blast with this. Great driver.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, this would look good painted up.

[@MitchellBolognaniRC]

SBG Rocks. Matt is an awesome dude to watch and his scale work is amazing. 3 more wheel wrenches 😂 I really think a guess as to how many you have would be good fun

[@scalebuildersguild]

Good looking hat.

It's as if the "Gangstas wassup guys" clip is dedicated to the first 20 comments to the videos LOL

[@TheBod76]

I am impressed, nice model and also at reasonable price!

[@rc-dom-uk]

saw a real unimog and didn’t realise how huge they are . that’s all i really have to say 😂👍

[@davidrivero7943]

Heli Driver & Roàd cars Pilot is gonna try this crawling discipline part which I've found boring before & after many videos I have decided on this capable beauty. TY, Phil.

[@sy55legrc]

The grey one is screaming for some arctic camo decals I reckon. Class little things these like. Nice one chap

[@AnRCCarChannel]

I can't speak for the Unimog version of the FCX24m chassis from FMS.. The short wheelbase Camel Trophy on the fcx24m chassis, doesn't have oil ahocks, only well made friction shocks that work surprisingly well. I know this, as I had a front shock sticking up out of the box. I removed and dismantled the offending shock, expecting there to be oil. Not a drop! I fixed the sticky shock by lightly sanding the piston until it was a good but still slightly tight fit inside the shock bore. The bore was too small to sand. 😂

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Cool little truck! Like the red one the most!

[@clean1566]

Can’t believe it floated across! Good video!

[@AlexTheStampede]

I wonder. Would it be possible to cram an fpv system in there? That would make even a relatively small space a perfect playground!

[@phildavis4878]

Thank you for getting that right the lights on the top a beacons they're not just lights the here in the US I don't know better

Could you do a comparison of this against the dual-motor Unimog that was released in June, please. I love the option of un/lockable diffs, but is it worth it? Thanks!

[@rayxxkaiser3586]

thanks for your news but I think what FMS requires to do is to make a lexan body. I have already 3 smashers, 2 lemurs, 1 power wagon, and 1 K5, but the high roller has already got a scratch on its body. It upsets me a lot.

[@boduke9428]

Speaking of small scale mini. Are you gonna get the new Team Associated 1/7 scale Hoonicorn? It looks like the perfect Rival to an Arrma Felony. I can't find any info on the power system other than "brushless". I'm guessing at least 6s. Something similar to what's in the MT8 I'm guessing. I'd love if they went insane and put an overpowered 8s system in it to make it even more realistic.

[@RCCinematic]

I knew you would get one, you cheeky fook! Have you reviewed Cross RC products? They have this NT-4 Emo RTR coming out, but I’d like to see someone review it first before I purchase one.

Question what are your thoughts on a two speed trans in general do you think they're necessary I have a two speed RC and I just leave it in high edit I also like all the smaller cheaper RCs you've shown even bought a couple

[@TomleyRC]

On this it’s works great. 1st gear is a great crawling gear, and second it’s perfect for trails

[@FastSS02]

I bought the FMS K5 Blazer BECAUSE of the 2 speed trans. I was going to pick up a Traxxas TRX4M but the local hobby shop sold out by the time I got back the next day with money! I upgraded from the 130 brushed motor to a 180 brushed and it's way fast so the 2 speed trans makes it even more useful because it would be impossible to crawl in high gear now.
