fms is killing it in the scale game. Thanks for the hard work phil👍🏻

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, so many quality products!

[@Hjerte_Verke]

They ruined this one I think by not making it an actual 1/12 scale, repurposing the Willys MB running gear, axles and wheels/tires and cheaping out on the interior. The 1/12 Willys MB, Kommadeurwagen Beetle, Kubelwagen, Jimny (the Jimny is super scale) are all exquisite with the unique details but this one gets re-used parts.

[@raymondchan9802]

Very realistic looking truck. Looks like FMS is going to challenge Tamiya in the scale department. Im loving it already on the looks alone. Thanks for your superb review. Keep them coming.

[@rcuintheshed6981]

Wow it's detail really is amazing and accurate I had one of these a 73model with timber tray you did actually sit on the fuel tank inside the cab it's hard to put into words how tough reliable and capable they are that's where they got the term bullet proof 👊

Hallo Tomley I always love your videos and the people that complain about you test cheap Chinese cars. Maybe can open their eyes , you test all sorts cars and not everyone can afford 800 for one car . And I love that you test all sort of cars. Keep up your super good work.

[@beardedxj]

At 6:43 when you roll it, did you put on the Hazzard lights or did they turn on by themselves when it rolls over?

[@TomleyRC]

They were on the whole time (I think)

[@beardedxj]

@@TomleyRC darn I just happened to notice after the rollover the lights were on. How cool would that be.

[@silverarrowgarage7615]

Fixed the Turn Signal issue. Take apart the Front / Rear Light Assembly and simply put a small piece of electrical tape over the particular LED that flashes "yellow". Press firmly to set the tape over the LED...also add a small dab of glue to set it all in place. Reassemble and you're set. Any function that flashes "yellow" is now black.

[@michaeldorich4485]

This is another great video and a beautiful scale truck. The detail is amazing. I am part of the Baby Boom generation. I remember receiving toy cars at Christmas with doors , hoods and trunk lids that opened. No one talked about scale back then. As you said, this not cheap stuff from China. It's a quality product. Thanks for sharing.

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful little truck, Phil! 😃 The only thing I didn't like was the suspension... Exactly because of the crawling capabilities. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, such a good looking truck

Wowe Phil! You are so right! This thing is ridiculous with its scale features! That place was brilliant as well. Another impressive rc from FMS!☕️

[@Del350K4]

I simply don't understand why the trolls keep whining about Phil testing "cheap Chinese crap". If I were in the market for a realistic 1:12 scale FJ45, I'd have a choice between the Team Associated CR-12, the WPL C44, the MN Models MN45 and this FMS. Of these, are are Chinese except the Team Associated, which has a lexan shell with distinctly dodgy proportions and is constantly listed as 'unavailable' anyway. So, dear trolls, the only options are budget offerings from China. Case closed - please stop wasting our time. Thank you.

[@Fonzierc]

Wow that is awesome they're really coming out with some really cool rigs !!

[@donaldsneffe]

[@SengLeeKoh]

definitely not for rock crawling, it also struggles on the trail; more of a scale vehicle that serves as an RC.

I love that rig and I definitely have my eyes on another FMS or RocHobby rig as soon as I can afford another one! That FJ45 is definitely very high up there on my list!

[@drakeblackk]

Thats cool, the front spring should be good on ural too, just like this... :( And it can go slow, without stop crawling... Looks like ural is a disappointment :( Oh and i got no screws for the mid axle and its stucking, maybe i did something wrong without papers..:)

We used to buy cheap Chinese crap because it was cheap ! Unfortunately it now isn’t cheap any more but it’s still crap. Nice to trundle around your front room on Christmas afternoon but I’d love to see it a few weeks later ?!!probably knackered in a corner somewhere waiting for parts you cannot get and probably propped up with a couple of Tamiya cars with the same problem before anyone says anything.

hi tomley .just to ask you something i have an old traxxas grave digger with a 18 t pinon gear ...if i replace it with a 23 t pinon gear ..will it go faster or slower ..thanks

[@Hjerte_Verke]

It's fully licensed but not correct for any one year Toyota FJ45. It's got a mixture of details from different year, different decade trucks. If the headlight surround is squared, then it's like a 1979 and later FJ and it gets larger half clear/half amber turn signals in front, a different font on the grille, recessed door handles and should have the bulge on the windshield frame for the wiper motor. Biggest surprise is it's not 1/12 scale and re-uses the running gear from the Willys MB. Kind of a fail after the high marks of their Beetle, Kubelwagen, Willys MB and Suzuki Jimny models. Those have great details all around and are super scale.

[@RCPMK]

Really nice! So many great imported stuff these days. Too bad our Canadian dollar is terrible and we're paying 13% tax on everything imported now. It would be $379 plus shipping costs here. Kinda sucks the fun out of it a bit lol

[@Robert-jg9rr]

I'm in no way an expert or even a "noob" when it comes to RC vehicles but these crawlers all seem to suffer from a lack of weight to help achieve proper grip on the wheels. Again I literally know nothing about crawlers but it seems that adding weight to the lowest parts of the frame to maintain stability would provide more grip for the tires in the conditions your driving in. Also, I just had an idea that could possibly help with tire grip BUT it's completely out of the box thinking and may not work at all. But what if you applied shoe goo to the tires and give it a very aggressive texture as it dries? The stuff is very "grippy" so possibly it would give better traction. You could even embed something into the shoe goo to provide even more grip. Just tossing out Ideas, so take it as you will.

[@bs119]

Hi Tomley, nice review as always!! just wanted to ask if the transmission of your fj45 makes a single "click" noise each time after the wheels move briefly when low gear is engaged? from my observation, it looks like before the "click" the transmission shaft does not go back far enough to the rear of the vehicle, and after the "click", the shaft pushes further towards the rear of the rear vehicle, at where it should be at normal operation. Does what I have just describe makes sense? lol!

[@danieljackson443]

See if you take your MN45 body and put it onto a wpl FJ45 chassis itd basically be the same pick up except the FMS version looks a bit more realistic

[@arjunbavalia6874]

[@CCollins54]

If you like things that do not run right they are just fine. If you like wobbly tires and a truck that scrapes tires around corners . If you like plastic that does not fit or match in critical places. I have bought a few of these FMS deals and they are on the junky side! Tons of things wrong with all of these. I realize that they are scale but that does not mean we skimp on quality!!! They are getting better but still have a way to go to make a easy to use product that performs like the big names. They are very nice looking till you notice some problems. Tail gate on mine does not fit properly and the bed is warped!!! Tires wobble way too much on almost all of these. The wobble is so bad you can see the truck move around as it goes. And it will not back up straight. I am about to give up on these guys!! But, Almost! Keep trying!
