My name is Victor Ma , My English is poor, but i will try my best . I am car collector in Hong Kong, When i am young, i play a lot of RC car at 70s-80s.I still remember Japan built a lot of nice scale RC model, such as Sanwa, they built 1/12 Porsche 935, Lamborghini Countach, , Savanna built RX-7 , Nichimo got Lancia Stratos, Tamiya built the XR311 Combat, Lamborghini Cheetah , most people belive Tayima built the first off road radio control model in the world, this is not true, The true is Tayima built the very nice 1/12 scale RC model with 540 motor, but it is not success, i remember i got XR311 first, than Cheetah, both got same chassis, very nice 4 wheel indenpendent suspension, but rear wheel drive, no diff gear, CV joint not strong enough, suspension too soft, use plastic torsion bar, gear box very easy broken, the first success 4wd 1/12 RC model built by Eidai Grip , they want to built a 4wd Lamborghini Cheetah, the Chassis is metal front and rear axle got diff gear, middle 540 motor, use 2 belt to drive, they copy the Cheetah 4 wheel metal double A arm suspension, they copy the sand tire and wheel too, but because of the belt drive system is too height, when they put the plastic Cheetah body on , they discover some problem, so they change a Toyota Land Cruiser 40 body and a Beetle body!, they still use same Cheetah body and wheel to built a ready go rear wheel drive RC toy. Kyosho early product never success, both in body and performance,i remember i got their 1/12 Countach, body super rough, i got 1/12 Range Rover and 1/12 512BB metal chassis got 2 gear, one F and one R , independent suspension with a 0.6 engine, at that time 0.6 engine not reliable. until early 80s Kyosho got the 1/10 4wd chain drive CJ7 and Nissan Pick up, got both 540 or 0.6 engine power, 2 speed gear box too, 1 F and 1R , but not in scale, it is a little over size. another most success product is 1/8 scale Land Jump, 4wd with 21 engine full metal but very heavy. At same time Tamiya built world most success 1/10 Chev Blazing Blazer and Hilux 4x4 in 10 scale, this model with metal ladder type chassis, 3 speed gear box, first speed with 4wd, second speed and top speed just rear wheel drive, leaf spring, all radio gear put inside a water proof box, but it got problem too, because of not Diff gear at both axle, front axle need a manual free wheel hub for you to use second and top speed, leaf spring use wrong metal, this is why i need DIY the leaf spring, make it soft in scale performance,i remember i use this RC to built 6wd chassis. Early 80s RC car make bigger and Bigger, because performance, Long A arm and wide tire and over size tire made the RC off road car got better performance. I will show them if you like to know the RC history at 70s-80s. This channel not just for FMS/Rochobby realistic RC car, but also show you a RC world history between 1970s-end of 1980s, and not just show some Tamiya / Kyosho/Maruin kit, most are expensive ready to run RC model Thank you for your time to read it. www.google.com.hk/search?q=%E9%A6%AC%E5%A4%A7%E7%AB%8B&hl=zh-CN&sxsrf=AOaemvKZurKIivdkXq1Z3DVCDwWYVSKE5Q:1638051937823&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjfjIL_yrn0AhWpyosBHRbQACwQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1670&bih=815&dpr=1.15

@@rexrcs do not believe metal body and metal suspension will be good to built a RC car. when i am young most RC car use metal parts and no one success, between ( 1975-1985 ) Such as EIDAIGRIP Beetle, Land Cruiser, Fair Lady 280Z, AYK 566B, Tamiya, they are not just heavy, very easy broken when racing, believe me, now I am not just a car collector, i also joint the Paris to Dakar racing between 2003-2016, worlds most long and expensive off road racing in the world. My dream is built the realistic RC classsic car model for the car lover, body like display quality but with running gear, all in scale, speed same as real car, this is why gear box so slow. just order one 1/12 scale Rochobby Type 82 or 82e to enjoy.

why can not use metal to built a RC car body. metal RC scale car model is every RC lover 's dream, i like too when i am a kid. 1979 i got my first 1/12 scale Die cast alloy body Lancia Stratos. it is built by Japan, I like very much, it is very expensive. it is very nice shap, and heavy, the car runs slow, because of weight, also not easy to stop, because heavy too, any out of control car body easy broken, it is not like we believe it is very strong and never broken, suspension be very soft, because body too heavy, running gear become weak too, repair body was not easy too, metal body repaint need a lot of work too, RC system also easy got problem,all the elec wire need put very well. Running time just got 15 min because metal body car too heavy. 70s and early 80s some RC model use metal chassis, it is not good too, any small hit, the chassis broken like the real car. you can see my early Tamiya Hilux 4wd and some F1, or 1/8 scale 3.5cc Land Jump. today the RC car use very nice plastic, not like Display model, no one will use metal to built RC body, metal body just for some expensive scale military Tank and Bull Dozer etc is OK.

Hi I am Victor Ma, so many Scale RC car lover want to know why this FMS 1/12 VW82/82 Kubelwagen do not use metal to make chassis and body, Do you know why?

[@IllusionSector]

Thank you for the video, sir. I'm afraid I only share your sentiment against metal body up to a point. Sure, for high-speed vehicles, e.g., drift cars, racers, bashers, etc, I agree that a metal body would probably not be the best idea. However, I believe that brands like Capo, JD Models, Lesu, and ScaleArt have conclusively shown us that metal bodies *are* in fact quite viable and highly valued. Sure, one can still make practical arguments against it, citing the material's weight footprint and its effects on performance and battery life. However, enough people would consider that to be a fair trade off for owning something hefty that doesn't feel cheap. (I'm sure ScaleArt truck owners almost feel like they own a top-of-the-line Rolex watch). I do not in any way mean this as a put-down of FMS products because they are some of the absolute best. Nevertheless, if the exact same Kübelwagen was also offered in metal for the same price, I couldn't possibly imagine *anyone* still opting for the plastic version. Let's be real about it. 🙂 Then there is also the conversation of die-cast metal vs pressed sheet metal (like old Tonka toys), but that's another can of worms.
