[@ryand4786]

It looks good, proportions are kind of funny, like the the smaller ones. Color combinations are great.

[@DoURC]

Yeah that's one of the things with FMS rigs, like the FCX24 K5, sometimes the scale isn't quite right. Still a great looking rig though. I love the stock suspension movement. 👍😎

[@Indy64738]

Exactly… bit weird… too short… but nice!😎😎

[@unloveableandre]

@@DoURC at least they did a better-ish job with the K10 1/18

[@DoURC]

@@unloveableandre I prefer the K5 tbh over the K10. 👍

[@spenn2007]

For 399.99!!! Wow, i remember this Blazer as a kid in the 1980's. It's awesome they added the bed lid and roll bars. I see some saying it's "short" Yeah, it's the Chevy Blazer, not the Chevy pickup. Lastly, the performance is the biggest aspect of this truck that surprised me, he made those obstacles and lines look easy.

[@DoURC]

Crazy cheap for what it is isn't it. I was really surprised by the out the box performance, even the tyres are decent. I really like the transmitter too, so nice to use. 👍

[@isidrogonzales5289]

Exactly! Proportions look perfect for a Chevy blazer. My dad had one with a lift and 35's. My wife surprised me with a black Fcx10 2 weeks ago. Hands down best bang for buck. We have several crawlers and this is one of my favorites.

[@NCxRC910]

Great review. Looks great. FMS is killing it lately.

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 Yeah this is a definite game changer for them imo. 👍

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah I just ordered the black one yesterday and it’s on the way already says 3 to 5 days super cool

[@DoURC]

Excellent, hope you like it. 👍

[@scottymech48]

I am just getting into Cars having flown fixed wing and Heli's and this looks to be pretty capable at a good price point. I have had fms fixed wing aircraft and provided you don't fly battery packs back to back reliability seemed good. It was only when pushing them hard that the electrics failed. Usually the ESC. Servos were a bit weak as well. I would imagine they use better components in that truck.

[@DoURC]

I think only time will tell for durability. Buy out the box it seems decent. 👍

[@jonathanmcdonald5411]

Nice vid! I've been waiting to see a vid on this rig and I must say, I'm impressed. I would like to see it with the topper on though.

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 Yeah stock performance was impressive, even the stock tyres were decent which was nice. 👍

[@LEORedSun]

I agree, the stock tires are really good. Also, for the value and performance, this thing out perform all others.

[@DoURC]

For the money it's crazy isn't it. Obviously only time will tell on durability, but so far so good. The tyres are definitely the best tyres Injora have done to date. Same goes for the tyres on the FCX18 K10, their best so far. 👍

[@chudsrc]

Great review, thank you 👍🏻🤗 Must say I’m rather envious as would love to have one and that colour matches my FCX24 version. Like you I’m not normally a fan of all the manual diff options and normally run everything locked and only like dig, but get on FMS for including so many options out of the box 👍🏻 Magnetic lights is a great feature as the wires are always a pain. I think seeing your review my only disappointment is the body not being a hard body, other than that what an awesome machine 👍🏻 Cheers, Mike 🤗

[@chudsrc]

I’ve now seen two UK reviews. My question is how are you getting them as no one in the UK is listing them yet and I’ve tried to order direct from FMS but they don’t ship any 1/10 models overseas 🤷‍♂️ So guess that by the time they eventually arrive in the UK the introductory models with the free accessories won’t exist anymore 😩

[@DoURC]

Yeah ita great that it has so many features and makes it great value for money. I was really happy with the performance too, even the stock tyres were decent. 👍 Yeah hardbody would be awesome, but I think this rig is more about performance and competing with the big boys. 👍

[@DoURC]

As I said in my video, mine was a pre release FMS sent me. 👍 Downside to the UK is we always get everything last! 😮‍💨

[@SandJ-Adventures]

Ha! Not quite - Over here in France we seem to be way behind on getting new stuff, FMS, Traxxas et al. ☹@@DoURC

[@Wurstkommission]

Thank you for your presentation! I'm as excited as a little child about my FMS FCX10 K5. 😍 I have already ordered the sound module for it! 😁

[@DoURC]

Excellent, it's a great rig isn't it. I was really happy with the out the box performance. 👍

[@Wurstkommission]

@@DoURC So far I've only seen a few videos of the car. I wanted to order it myself from FMS, but they don't deliver to Germany! 🤬 Then I ordered the car from a German dealer where it appeared to be in stock and after ordering I received a message that the car was currently not available. Looks like the release of the car in Germany isn't until April. 😤 Maybe FMS is just unlucky if I see another car... 🤪 I already have a TRX4 Cheyenne HIgh Trail. 😍

[@DoURC]

@Wurstkommission Yeah I think it shocked even them how popular its been. I believe they're working as quickly as they can to re-stock. 👍

[@BosphorusBashing]

Wonderful review, thanks a lot😊

[@mattiasrc]

Yeees finally, i would get one in the same color as the one you have there.

[@DoURC]

It's cool isn't it. I love the suspension movement and stock tyres are decent for an rtr. 👍

[@Anglian-Rc]

Awesome video thank you. Will you be doing a comparison with the trx4?

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 I was thinking about it, but my trx4 is massively modified so not sure it would be a fair comparison tbh, unless Traxxas want to send me one...but I doubt it! 🤣😬

[@Anglian-Rc]

@@DoURC cool well if you do I would be highly interested 😀 especially if the features and abilities stock beats trx4.

[@BishopsRCCrusade]

Good review!

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍

[@mattrevsrc3094]

I'm not convinced. Lot's more things to go wrong and I bet there's not much after market support available. Buy cheap buy twice. Having said that its nice to see someone pushing the envelope.🤔🤔

[@Indy64738]

Yet, already Traxxas is behind for 1/18… let’s see in two year from now… there is already good, affordable option for 1/10…

[@DoURC]

I get what you're saying, but people probably said the same when the trx4 came out. With how popular FMS is, it won't be long before loads of parts are available. Only time will tell how durable it is though. For the money though and what you get it's a bargain imo. Just need to sort that slipper clutch so I can rip up the mud in second gear! 🤣😁

[@mattrevsrc3094]

@@DoURC works out around the same price as a sport kit and they're bomb proof. I'll watch this space 🤣🤜🤛🤙

[@DoURC]

@@mattrevsrc3094 True, but I think you get more for your money with this, especially with the transmitter. But yeah, only time will tell on durability. I'll do my best to break it! 🤣😁

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. 👍

[@Hemlck]

Great video…looks really nice…anyway to disable the indicators and still have the rest of light working? can’t stand indicators on RC cars 😊

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 I hear you there on the indicators, imo it ruins any scale realism, like who indicates every time they turn?! Most people don't indicate when they need too! 🤣🤣🤣 To answer your question not sure sorry. 👍

[@chucktaylor2772]

Prolly need to snip the wires and live without them.....

[@kakapoochie]

You can unplug the two wires on the bottom part of the unit that the light wiring plugs into and you can plug one into the slot that says "DRL" (day running lights) and the other into the slot that says "BRK-LT" (brake light). The turn signals won't work after that, and the lighting on the car will be a little more realistic, in my opinion.

[@beng.6417]

$399.99 with all these features sounds great. That being said, my money is going to a Fordyce.

[@DoURC]

Sounds like a good choice 👍😎

Thanks very much mate 👍 Would be awesome if they did. I'd love to see a Nissan Patrol too, that would be awesome 👍😎

[@Gdpud]

Wow! Thats a really capably rig! seemed effortless with the rock crawling at the end of the vid! And all that for $400? (£316,80 is that right?) Man that unbeatable for what you get! 👍👍😍

[@DoURC]

Bargain isn't it. I honestly couldn't believe the price and I thought it did really well out the box. 👍

[@SandJ-Adventures]

This does look a fab piece of kit and a competitive price, even over here! (about 500€ delivered) Strong resemblance to the TRX4, but some of the extra functionality is great! And it is certainly very capable straight out of the box. I just don't like those oversized wheels - I'd have to try and get hold of a set of the latest wheels fitted to the RC4WD Chevy hardbody, which I reckon would look a whole lot nicer. 😄

[@DoURC]

Yeah, I think anything with these features is going to be similar to the TRX4, but I think it's great for us the consumer other brands making pushing the big boys. Hopefully this is the start of something good from FMS. 👍 I think out the box, it's great value for money and a great performer. 👍

[@daddyj7901]

Looks like you could fit a shorty pack upfront 👀

[@DoURC]

Possibly, I didn't look tbh as I generally use bigger 3s packs. 👍

[@DoURC]

🤣 I hate indicators too. 👍 Not sure if you can turn them off, probably unplug them though, or just cut the wires while swearing at them! 🤣 One of the most pointless things on an RC imo! 🤣👍

[@connortavares7297]

Just ordered mine, however I realized it doesn’t come with batteries. What batteries should I get for my truck and transmitter that will last long?

[@DoURC]

They recommend running it on a 2s lipo, but it can take a 3s lipo. I run mine on an Overlander Sport Track 5000mah 3S lipo. On a decent 5000mah lipo you'll get a good couple of hours runtime easy. For the transmitter, just some decent AA batteries. 👍 If you're in the UK I've got a discount code for Overlander Batteries you can use in video description. 👍

[@crawlstockrc]

It looks quite impressive mate. I think it may be a popular rig for modding. Lots for your money.

Is it supposed to be waterproof?

[@NthandaTheWitch]

18:20

[@DoURC]

Mixed messages on this tbh, they talk about it as splash proof, but I believe that's because the light module is only ppx4, whereas the all in one esc is ppx7(iirc). The manual states both the esc and light module are waterproof but I guess they're covering themselves saying it's splashproof, unless they've changed it already on the website, I haven't looked. 🤷‍♂️
