check out Traxxas sales number sometime. it's not a threat to Traxxas in any meaningful way it's an option for buyers. People should look at this the other way. this truck has ideas and features that other manufacturers will integrate soon specifically turn signals and magnet light connectors. those are both really cool innovations that will be integrated in other manufacturers future models guaranteed but Traxxas is not gonna introduce an 11 channel radio neither is Horizon and if you wanna really cool unique unreliable and strange looking krawler with 1 billion features this is your guy

Great comparison Phil! There’s no denying the similarities or where they got their inspiration from. Regardless, looks, performance, reliability, parts support, that’s the real difference between the two. 😅 I’d love to see FMS do a simplified version, without all the additional bells and whistles!

@TomleyRC 6 месяцев назад

Yes, I somewhat agree. And as for Looks, Performance, Reliability & Parts support.... I'd say Parts support is the only one Traxxas has in the bag. My 'New'... TRX4 High Trail's steering servo has stopped working after 2 runs, and if the shift servos are still the same as they used in the Summit, then I can't say they'll out last the competition anytime soon, so 'reliability' is certainly questionable. Anyway... both are great Trucks, and the FMS for the money is really good. I'll look forward to your follow up with the 19 things the same haha

The preference is based on scale competition rules. CMS basically forces the suspension design to follow real life counter part. In scale rc competition CMS class is considered more difficult than AMS. Hopefully you understand why there are 2 different preferences now.

Well done! It’s not a clone, it’s an evolution😉 Phil, can you do a test of it set up with the RWD/4WD option? It will be more fun for the bashing part, but also disengaging the front axle will mimic a center differential.. so for tighter turns in not too steep terrain it should be more manoeuvrable with better turning.

@derrickwilliams2903 5 месяцев назад

I don't think anyone is saying the FCX10 is a 1:1 copy of the TRX4. However, it is so similar that you could call it a copy. There is little to no chance FMS would have come to those design conclusions without the existence of the TRX4. Spending 10 minutes proving the FCX10 isn't a literal copy is a waste of time, but thanks I guess? Call it a copy or "heavily inspired". I don't think it matters. There aren't a lot of revolutionary ideas in RC. Most are derivative. It's that iterative/derivative process that allows the hobby to move forward. If Traxxas owners want to be upset, maybe they should direct those feelings toward Traxxas themselves who haven't come out with a new trail truck platform in 7 years.

There is nothing needing done to the FMS except wheels, and brass internal rings in the fronts. It could also benefit with even just a tad bit more weight on the front axle to become a pure monster. I'm waiting for some black brass front outer portal covers or steering knuckles to be available. And that will be absolutely it!

@TheBigstoned1 6 месяцев назад

every single rc company looks at what works in other makers designs borrows elements makes slight design changes then implements them into their model, even the rc hobbyist borrow parts and bodyshells from other models to make them work better or look similar to others, all i can say is i couldn't care less even if it was a slight copy/clone, i thank god for the cheaper makes because if it wasn't for them i wouldn't be able to afford to have a hobby, do we all moan about the clearl...possibly copied spare parts you can buy on discount sites or do we just buy them anyway because they're a ton cheaper than oem and um mostly work?

@TomleyRC 6 месяцев назад

Another great review/comparison. There’s absolutely NO WAY for different manufacturers to make “similar” vehicles without some type of “like” items but these two are NOT the same. Similar yes, same NO! As usual FMS steps up where Traxxas stays stagnant. I own many Traxxas and like them but I’m glad to see FMS stepping up to offer stock features affordable vs the ultra high upgrades offered by Traxxas and others. Hopefully this gets more people involved back into the RC car industry (unlike during Covid where isolation drove the market but then people fall out of the RC game as the world started turning again) for keeps as there are more affordable, and just as good if not better, options becoming available.

With Traxxas you usually have to change your wallet again to obtain all the upgrades that are needed.

chevy stopped making blazers (full size) in '92, but that was just a tahoe before the rename, last actual blazer with a removable top was 1991.

FMS is the Hyundai of the RC world. Hyundai takes a lot if inspiration from other auto makers and tries to put just enough spin on it to call it their own inhouse innovation. Those in the industry know. We know it and Hyundai knows it. I'm 100% certain those in the RC world is aware. It may not be 100% TRX clone but it is a product of a lot of different crawlers.

Of course it's a copy, they both move forward and back, the front wheels steer and they both climb over rocks! 😆

I just rewatched SBG,s video, and at no time did he say clone he said that it was very similar and heavily influenced, which is true. However, you saying completely different is not true, so if you are going to call someone out, maybe you should make sure that what you are saying is accurate I agreeit is not a clone but it is also not original which is what Matt was saying. The main criticism he had was based on the fact that his failed out of the box. Maybe he got a bad one. Maybe it's a quality thing. Either way, people have different opinions, probably beat to make sure you are accurate when calling out inaccuracies.

This video was recorded before Matt put his review up... so you are wrong to think I'm calling him out. We've been chatting tonight about it, and we both agree and disagree on a few things, but we both agree we all have different opinions. Anyway, my 2005 Hilux had remote locking diffs, so does that make the TRX4 is a copy of my Hilux? Unimogs have Portal Axles, so does that make any RC Crawler with them is a copy? You have to remember these Crawlers are scaled down versions of the real thing... they are all copies and clones.

Sorry I didn't realise your video came out first Matt was mentioned in the comments so I incorrectly made an assumption and I totally agree everything has probably been done before and I never said I thought the fcx10 was a traxxas copy, it is most definitely influenced by it but most definitely is not fully original as are all rc trucks as you point out. I am a fan of your videos and like how you call out what you don't agree with, which is what I did.. Keep up the good work just remember opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and we can all agree they stink

@@bacdef75he recorded first, but my video was up before his. Regardless, yes we chat frequently and have great respect for each other. I know this wasn’t directed at me, and wouldn’t have taken it personally anyway!

Hi thanks for your videos and please keep presenting the way you do. I personally am really fed up with the style of, in particular one presenter, and I am avoiding whenever possible.

Umm TRX4 looks like a quality product , the FMS tho… all that body rub, less clearance than the TRX4, naaaah

@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f 6 месяцев назад

You missed they look to be the XT60 plug arrangement, not the proprietary Traxxas crap. and they copied the use of lithium batteries and a wheel remote control haha To me the people saying they are clones, are bing pretty petty, and should perhaps give spot the difference puzzles a miss, if they are that obsessed with the FMS being a clone.

@todd5060 6 месяцев назад

Sure look like clones to me.. they each have 4 tires.

Traxass hates the RC community and FMS is a try hard company. Passing on both.

@MrVein5.0 6 месяцев назад

can we stop with the hate? not gonna watch the video ive already watched unbiased reviews on the fms blazer, there is no reason to try to create drama.

@TomleyRC 6 месяцев назад

No hate… the TRX4 is a good crawler and this video isn’t about how good or bad they are. 🫡
