Scale & Performance - FMS FCX18 Toyota LC80 Review 

It's a great looking rig isn't, really happy with how it looks and performs tbh. 👍 Thanks very much for watching and commenting 👍😁

It's really nice isn't it, really like the two tone. 👍 Yeah they're knocking them out atm aren't they. 👍😎

Thanks very much mate. 👍😎

Thanks very much 👍 Excellent, hope you like it. 👍

Awesome, the grey one looks nice. Yeah I'll be doing the same on the screws, got to love a free mod. 🤣👍😎

No problem at all, happy to help. For me this is a much better scale than both and is a really good rtr. 👍

Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😎

I'd say the FCX18, I think with the metal chassis and the battery up front, it makes a difference to the out the box performance. I think the FCX18 has more overall potential than the FCX24. 👍

Yeah, this is much better than the original ROCHobby LC80 or the EazyRC models though. 👍

Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍 I think I'll stick with the same tyre size. I'd like to bring the ride height down as it's too high stock imo. 👍

Ah awesome, glad you like it. They're really good out the box aren't they. 👍

Awesome, hope you like it. Check out my upgrade videos in my Mini Crawlers playlist. I've tested a few different tyres now and got a video on free mods. 👍

Thanks very much 👍 Check out my Mini Crawlers playlist, I've got upgrade videos in there plus free mods you can do. 👍 It's a great little rig with brass wheels and decent tyres. 👍

Awesome, I really like the look on the yellow one. They're all really nice colours aren't they. The blue two tone has really grown on me. Hope you enjoy yours. 👍😎

@@DoURC yes the two tone is very nice i just wanted something bit more different and i have two blue rigs already so yellow should stand out between em hehe and thanks i will definitely be enjoying it but i just gotta wait a while before i get mine hehe

@NWrcadventures Yeah that's fair enough. I think the yellow is a nice colour. 👍 I'm looking forward to adding some accessories to mine and doing a few mods. 👍

@@DoURC ohh yeah im all about mods and scale accessories on my rigs i have the trx4m high traill and i decked it all out to look like an overland truck its looks amazing if your curious of how it looks i did post a video of it recently on my channel i think it looks great as i fixed it im very happy with it and its been a very solid little truck for me just like my trx4m defender i have just taller 👍

@@NWrcadventures Nice, I'll check it out. I'd like a high trail at some point. 👍😎

Yeah it's a much better rig out the box and better value for money imo. 👍 Only main downside to the FCX18 vs the TRX4M is the FCX18 isn't fully waterproof.

I don't, I'll check them when I look at the shock oil, won't be until next week though as need to do a few things with it first. It could be the shock oil weight though or even the o ring potentially. I'll find out soon enough. 👍

Awesome, hope you enjoy it. The shocks are a bit hard. I'd still say better than just friction shocks though. I don't like friction shocks, too bouncy and less stable. If the o ring is lubricated it shouldn't cause issues. It's either the shock oil they've used or sping stiffness. I'm going to take mine apart soon to see. 👍

After watching your video, I also think it looks to stiff. Probably going to drain the oil out of my shocks, when my yellow one arrives...

@patrickhubscher3719 Yeah hopefully it's just the oil. The springs are wider than the FCX24 springs as well, so hopefully they're not too stiff. 👍

I think the wheels are vented. They're pretty decent tyres out the box, but could definitely be better. I'm going to switch to some Injora tyres I think with brass wheels. 👍

Not with the esc but with the power switch. The switch isn't waterproof, so if you've ran it in water and it won't turn on, I'd bet your switch is sticking. I deleted my power switch, do it powers on like a trx4m, as you connect the battery. No more issues. 👍

Excellent, hope you enjoy it, they're great RC's.

FMS sent me mine, so I got it early. 👍

🤣🤣🤣 Yeah they are a little noisey, especially in first gear. The FCX18 with the bigger motor is quieter than the FCX24 though. 👍

@@DoURC nice ya my fcx24 Doug never gets ran its loud and the slop in the drivetrain make crawling a hot mess lol

No just one, but one battery will last about an hour. 👍

Haven't I answered this question for you like 3 times already? 🤔 Injora, RCAWD, LGRP, Aliexpress 👍

Have you still got it in forward, brake reverse mode? If so switch it to forward, reverse and that should sort it iirc. 👍

@@DoURC Thanks 👍 I just got it yesterday. I tried switching the running mode on the transmitter just like you suggested but it doesn’t have any change on the lights. Changes the drive mode only.

Excellent, its a great little rig. 👍

Thanks very much mate 👍😁

Without a doubt 👍 Got a comparison video in my Mini Crawlers playlist running them head to head. 👍

@@DoURC I’ll check it out right now.

@Jay-ws7tv Awesome, enjoy and thanks 👍😎

Everyone is saying TRX4m over scx18 and Vice versus I just can’t get a straight answer

@Jay-ws7tv If you watch my comparison video you'll see the fcx18 walks all over the trx4m out the box, plus is much better value for money. Imo the FCX24 is better than the trx4m as well. I've got upgrade videos and running videos in my Mini Crawlers playlist too that will give you an idea of what they're all capable of. 👍

Yeah

Thanks very much. 👍 It's really good, definitely one of the best rtr mini crawlers right now. 👍

Thanks very much mate 👍

@@DoURC 👍🎶

🤣 Excellent, it's an awesome rig, check out my Mini Crawlers playlist for some free mods you can do. 👍 If you'd like to support the channel you can use my referral link in description. 👍

🤣 Yeah I'm not a fan either, you can have hazards on or just turn the lights off. 👍

Thanks very much 👍

Thanks very much mate 👍

Thanks very much 👍

No, but I've found the power switch is the main issue, delete that and no issues. 👍

Yeah be nice if the suspension was a little softer. 👍

Just change the oil that's in the shocks and that will fix that problem

I wouldn't say they're 'that' fragile. I've been rougher than most with mine, mudded them, rock crawled them etc and broken nothing on any of all 3 of my FCX18 LC80's. Imo the key is knowing when to stop. People tend to keep pushing them when they're bound up on an obstacle etc and then wonder why they break! 🤦 But yes, metal shafts and gears is a good idea, although mine are still all stock with no issues. 👍

Thanks very much mate, appreciate the comment. 👍😁

FMS sent me mine, so I got it early. Think only their US warehouse has it available atm. 👍
