Dude that thing in that color looks straight up almost like metal... I really think this is their best one on this chassis yet, and I love the mashigan

@RCReviewChannel 10 месяцев назад

True huh on the metal look. Maybe someday I'll have it patina'd with some rust action.

@ljaysperspective1775 9 месяцев назад

Enjoyed the video, beautiful looking rig, and the upgrades definitely made a deference. Very nice, thx for sharing👍

@Luke-en2tk 10 месяцев назад

It looks so much better with those wheels and the shocks have transformed the scale handling performance

@boldrbangr9834 10 месяцев назад

Great info! I just ordered a set of shocks for mine per your suggestion. You're right about the ESC, it's terrible. I painted the recess on the hood flat black & added 6 lug white steely wheels, brake rotors, F lock out hubs + Milestar tires. To come: winch, HW ESC, driver, lights, etc. Aliexpress has the correct colored qtr. panel emblems.

@timmyjackson6918 5 месяцев назад

Love Aliexpress. Have you been able to find any inner fenders? I was able to find a set for the front on ebay but not for the rear.

@boldrbangr9834 5 месяцев назад

I have the 3D printed front liners & they fit great! Since the hard body comes down to the frame in back, I just painted mine flat black.

Here's what I've done: 1080 Hobbywing, Reefs Raw 500, MyTrickRc Dragon 2 controller, large and small light bars and rock lights that I mounted to the roof rack, 2 red, 2 orange tail lights, also MytrickRc, some sweet Injora brushed aluminum bead locks, 80mm shocks (which may not fit), a giant T-Rex skull on top and RJ McCready (Kurt Russell) behind the wheel.

@malithhettiarachchi1765 7 месяцев назад

Hi, I really love your videos 🍻 Great content ! I looking to buy FJ40 model. But I’m bit stuck in between RC4WD Gelande II and FMS. I did some research looks like due to the scale accuracy there are lack of modification parts for FMS. So my heart says go for RC4WD. What is your recommendation? Appreciate your comment 😊

@Bigbillyrayfan 10 месяцев назад

Wheel adds weight directly in line with center line of axle. If you add weight below that, it’s lower than the wheel. Diff skids n such.

@RCReviewChannel 10 месяцев назад

Correct, correct. So the true lowest, significant weight is.... brass portal axles. They're designed to put a lot of weight below the axle line.

@pborovszky 10 дней назад

ESC and shocks, just like on this video. Hobbywing 1080 ESC is best.

@scaleaddicted 10 месяцев назад

There exists a fluid, for bike tires, wich you can press in the tubes, to prevent a flat. This fluid will also replace the foam...

@naveda08 10 месяцев назад

What number shock oil did you go with? Thanks for sharing

@RCReviewChannel 10 месяцев назад

Shock oil is highly dependent on the shock and the size of the piston hole. But... compared to a traxxas or Axial shock which typically uses 30wt. oil, this shock feels like a 70 or 80wt.

@northernlightsrc8994 10 месяцев назад

Lower weight? People put bbs in the wheels to float at the bottom but im against adding rotating weight beyond a degree... Id say a heavy tire compound Diff cover Or axle housing is gunna matter more than a ring low?

@rcglock9608 10 месяцев назад

BBs in the tires would b lower cg. But that means you have to take out foams

@RCReviewChannel 10 месяцев назад

They would need to slosh around the bottom of the tire to be lower than axle weight. And that's not really practical or will perform well.

@JDMJDK 10 месяцев назад

Yep! The wheel barrel is the lowest part of the truck. The only way to get that point lower would be a shorter tire.

@RCReviewChannel 10 месяцев назад

wheel weight is actually the same as axle weight. That's because half is below the axle and the other half is above the axle. There is something lower

@NANNIRC 10 месяцев назад

I mean with those upgrades.....

@adrian15041994 10 месяцев назад

Water, or some fluid like mass. That is a lower weight. I've seem some very specialized crawlers do it.

@northernlightsrc8994 10 месяцев назад

Imagine a hollow axle filled with thick viscous oil. If it had controlled " room " so it didn't slosh to one side side Hilling...

@RCReviewChannel 10 месяцев назад

That is true but it is not practical

@GSG-lc5zm 10 месяцев назад

I have a way to get weight lower than the rim.... But I ain't tellin' lol 😉 (Nope not fluid in the tires, that's ok but it screws up the foams) (Not BBs either doesn't really work with foams)

@RCReviewChannel 10 месяцев назад

Rim weight is really the same as axle weight in terms of height. The reason... half the weight is above the axle and the other half is above the axle... always.

@thomassanio8745 9 месяцев назад

I wonder if the Boom Racing Yota Classic center hubcap would work with this style hub? It would give you the classic FJ40 hubcap look. I know they work on the gelande 2 FJ40, same type of mount? Also can you do a comparison of the gelande 2 FJ40 from RC4WD to this FMS FJ40? I am sure that would be a shootout everyone would love to see! Which performs better, quality, parts availability, etc…. Thanks!

@jimbo4203 10 месяцев назад

The rack and shocks gotta go , I'll ditch the bunk beds too , but I really like it , I usually put some weight on the axles some where

@teamvisser 10 месяцев назад

Could you put it next to an scx6?! No one… has done it. I’m very curious in the difference. I don’t need one, but for $350! Dang it…. I think I need one 😂. Thanks for your time

@OkieDokieBoi 10 месяцев назад

It'd take four of these to be as big as the SCX6, trust me. A few buddies have SCX6's, and I have the FJ. It's big, but I think some are going a lil overboard. It's a bit bigger than a TRX4. I'd say about 1/8 scale. . .

@teamvisser 10 месяцев назад

@@OkieDokieBoi thanks for the info! So putting scx6 axles, tires and wheels on the fj probably wouldn’t work then. I was thinking like scale… 1 ton axles with 44” tires on a real 1/1 build. Thanks! 👍

@RCReviewChannel 10 месяцев назад

@@OkieDokieBoi it's about 1/6 because the original FJ40 was not a big vehicle. It's all about proportion in reference to the original 1:1 vehicle.

@OkieDokieBoi 10 месяцев назад

@RCReviewChannel that's fair and understandable. You're not wrong. I'm just trying to clarify its actual size in person. I've seen way too many thinking it's as big as an SCX6, which it isn't even close.

Yeah, anything heavy, like lead weights. And then duct tape them in place.

@slightly0P 10 месяцев назад

@@RCReviewChannel I just leave them loose so they can find the lowest point in the tire which will naturally be the contact patch. It makes a world of difference on small scale rigs like the TRX4M. On larger rigs it can help up to a point, but then it hurts because it can pull the truck down depending on the approach angle.
