Epic scale RC detailed RTR. The latest release from FMS ROCHOBBY is this lovely scale RC of a classic automotive icon.
This car was sent to RCKicks free of charge for review. FMS and ROCHOBBY put no limitations on RCKicks and the opinions given in this video are that of my own and RCKicks.
ROCHOBBY 1:12 The People's Car RTR Gray
Following the 1:12 Type82E Kommandeurwagen RTR Yellow, FMS released the civilian version - 1:12 The People's Car RTR Gray. The Boxer air-cooled engine is the core of the car, the engine crankshaft flywheel is connected by a belt to drive the generator and the cooling fan as well. The semi-circular fan fairing is a major feature, in which the airflow is distributed to the cylinders on both sides. All is faithfully restored on the model, meaning you can observe the blades rotating through the fan intake when the motor is running. We designed a 2-speed shift to simulate the speed of the 1st and 3rd gears of the real car. The power crosses over from the top of the rear axle differential and then returns to the rear axle. The model shares the same structure as the real engine, with the benefit of compactness, making it easy to switch between 4WD and RWD modes. This shift function is perfectly reproduced on the model to provide more driving pleasure when driving off-road.

Awesome.!!! Beautiful car.!!

Wow 🤩 I love it ❤️ 😊😊

@kasuraga Год назад

I love that they more or less kept the suspension style of the old bug. Swing arms in the rear, trailing arm beam in the front.

@EarlX99 Год назад

I wonder if those portals can be turned upside down to slam it and turn it into a Cal Look style bug

@kasuraga Год назад

I bet you could mod em to flip em over for a heavy drop. But considering it does use vw style suspension, I bet you could modify it to just slam it with some simple tweaks

@Im_Bloody_Close_to_Being_a_God Год назад

I'd love to see more of those boxes presented with racing kits! I'm always having to go out buying boxes for the cars because I'm having to take the cars to the track and back again. A lot of kits are in boxes that are only able to fit the PIECES that the cars are made up of and NOT the actual complete car itself! Although saying that the TRF kits are quite good with that.

@davesamsung4545 Год назад

Love the attention to detail. I would, however, customise it with an off road, baja style body, large paddle type rear tyres and give it a blue and white colour scheme. Oh! hang on...

@smellurfingerrcdejesus9176 Год назад

It's crying out for a slow motion video it's crying out for a purple paint job they go into point so that way you have the ultimate paint job I would do a royale 💜 I think I saw it turned purple the Citroen is better

@jmrcs2935 Год назад

looking good Gavin

@mitsuman5555 Год назад

FMS and ROCHOBBY have made so many stunning vehicles now. I wonder if they would ever offer kit versions of anything.

@RCKickschannel Год назад

1/10th and kits would be epic

@neilstothard Год назад

Love the detail on it, you could go to town with the paint job and do a proper Herbie "love bug" tribute.

@YoShImUrA53 Год назад

Love Herbie, so I obviously very happy to see this version coming out. I wish it was a bit more different than the Kommandeurwagen, but I'm still happy it exists in civilian form. BTW, you can assemble the wheels reversed by turning them 180deg and that would make it look closer to Herbie, if a bit tiny with those tires. Using a new camera? great, crisp close ups on this vid!

@RCKickschannel Год назад

No same old iPhone 10 for close up footage running at 30fps in 4K. Audio isn’t from the iPhone, that’s recorded from my DSLR like the wide shots of me.

@maxis.steewwwpid Год назад

man, 2 hobbies in one, rc and model cars

@bonjoe1758 Год назад

It's a stunning rc modell, they truly went the extra mile on details, but I don't like portals and 4wd on a regular bug, that puts me off. Without all these offroad features, and different liveries (herbie, s.o.), it would make a difference for me.

@AddamsPlayground Год назад

I would love to get one to paint up and weather it up some. It would make a great Herbie but I would love to make it look like a survivor car that may have been painted a few times with some tiny spots of rust starting to show and other little "fixes" here and there. It would be a lot of fun but it is pretty pricey to then spend more to change the looks and all that time to basically make a shelf queen out of it. Not sure it is worth or not, I am still weighing the pros and cons and seeing if it will fit into the budget!

@grrfy Год назад

at first glance it looks like a Beetle,but to a fan ,quite a lot looks odd/wrong.These differences at least should help keep this on the market .

@liamRC5487 Год назад

I do like beetles ....and minis. I have loads from tamiya in different schemes. Not as good as yours. I think I will invest in this one. And do something special. Keep up the good work.👍

@mikeymike3240 Год назад

Hey there Gavin, the original Beetles and Kublewagens were the first vehicles to use portal axles, not Traxxas lol 😂

@prowlus Год назад

Id turn it yellow make it more “bee” like

@nic.25 Год назад

Did you try switching it to rear wheel drive also

@zoridor16 6 месяцев назад

great review! I admire the level of detail of this brand! But there is something that worries me a lot, is it the quality of the stock electronics, esc, battery, servo, were these 3 components designed to last long periods of use? Can Fms live up to axial, gmade, kyosho or traxxas in terms of electronic quality? greetings

@RCKickschannel 6 месяцев назад

I’ve had a few for a few years now and no issues so far

@nathaniel2748 Год назад

For model builders a high detail model for not crazy money...... Yeah.... No. That would be no where near enough out of scale detail for more money than say a mini art version. Or two. Or probably three. That's for an accurate ww11 version. Otherwise I guess tamiya, fujimi or aoshima for a equally cheaper civilian model.

@lbsvw2526 Год назад

But... this civilian version of the 4 wheel drive military 'Kommandeurwagen' VW Beetle is pure fantasy (all post-war Bugs are 2wd with a more lower stance). And the shape of rear air intake grill is not as the real one... Anyway, if you want to make a correct Herbie replica, this is not the Ideal base: this is a split rear window (production years: from 1938 to 1953), very different in many details from the 1958-on square rear window models (as Herbie).

@1000guy1 10 месяцев назад

Could it fit 3 inch scale action figures

@RCKickschannel 10 месяцев назад

Not sure on that one sorry

@aron3322 Год назад

Hi Gavin loving the vids keep them coming. Found a new in box Dyna Blaster £1150 is this stupid or worth it. Hope you don’t mind me asking.

@RCKickschannel Год назад

It’s an epic truck and it depends. At this price you will never be able to build it as you will lose so much money. If you love collecting NIB kits and that’s your passion, well you can justify it. It still feels a little expensive so I would try a few offers £850-£900 as that feels a little safer. One thing to be mindful about is we could see a rere at some point and that will lower this kit by a good chunk for 3-5 years. I think we will see the Dyna Store first but after that it would be really easy for Tamiya to release the Blaster. At the end of the day it depends on how deep your pockets are and the joy you get from a NIB kit👍🏻 As an investment it wouldn’t make you a large return as you are purchasing at the top of the market. What do you guys think? I’m I totally wrong or do you have a different take on it?

@aron3322 Год назад

@@RCKickschannel hi Gavin thanks for the advice. My problem is I would build it as love to have a new one rather than restoring one.

@RCKickschannel Год назад

@@aron3322 well you will end up with a mint shelf queen but you will lose hundreds of ££

@RCJunky Год назад

The blue light is very off putting. Just makes it look like there is a problem with the camera.

@mclovin583 Год назад

Will it take 3s ? 🤣🤣

@markusroth4355 Год назад

So nice and very detailed,but why they make a four wheel drive in a Beetle? 🙈

@anyajenkins4611 Год назад

For me 1/12 is stupid, make them 1/10 or 1/14 to match the scale of the rc truck scene.

@brokennib1 Год назад

I wouldn't buy this thing, just because I'm getting tired of these fascists' trinkets... this is a split window, representing the first production model of Volkswagen touted by Hitler during WW2. Not saying it is not a nice model, but this is at least the 3rd release modeling military vehicles from the third Reich. It's just getting old, is all I'm saying

@liamRC5487 Год назад

I agree in the way I'd rather a 67 bug

@MAJ0RMEL0DY Год назад

I find it really frustrating that big channels like this always have the worst test footage… you say it’s good on tarmac but essentially drive it on the two worst terrains just because it’s close to your house… put in the the work and test it somewhere decent heck why not somewhere scenic? Just feels lazy as hell! the amount of effort I go to find good places to drive and no one’s even watching me just seems crazy to have so many viewers and then to quite frankly give a lack lustre reviews is wild to me. Plus when a vids just over ten minutes feels like it’s made for ad revenue rather than from passion. Just how it comes across to me. Could be wrong but really not impressed with this review really don’t learn anything new about it at all.

@RCKickschannel Год назад

It might be best served to focus on your own channel and it’s content than trying to bash others. I wish you all the best success with your channel but yes, it takes effort, dedication and hours of work to grow. You can’t expect 1000 subscribers with only 25 videos and nothing new for six months. Try three videos a week for three years. Like you say, put in the work.
