For 399.99!!! Wow, i remember this Blazer as a kid in the 1980's. It's awesome they added the bed lid and roll bars. I see some saying it's "short" Yeah, it's the Chevy Blazer, not the Chevy pickup. Lastly, the performance is the biggest aspect of this truck that surprised me, he made those obstacles and lines look easy.
Crazy cheap for what it is isn't it. I was really surprised by the out the box performance, even the tyres are decent. I really like the transmitter too, so nice to use. 👍
Exactly! Proportions look perfect for a Chevy blazer. My dad had one with a lift and 35's. My wife surprised me with a black Fcx10 2 weeks ago. Hands down best bang for buck. We have several crawlers and this is one of my favorites.
Yeah that's one of the things with FMS rigs, like the FCX24 K5, sometimes the scale isn't quite right. Still a great looking rig though. I love the stock suspension movement. 👍😎
I am just getting into Cars having flown fixed wing and Heli's and this looks to be pretty capable at a good price point. I have had fms fixed wing aircraft and provided you don't fly battery packs back to back reliability seemed good. It was only when pushing them hard that the electrics failed. Usually the ESC. Servos were a bit weak as well. I would imagine they use better components in that truck.
I love ur videos I follow you on TikTok I’m so glad to support ur videos n channel I’ve been eye balling this FMS blazer for a good while now in the month of August FMS is giving out free upgraded when you purchase there blazer I think I’m gonna pull the trigger this time 😂❤n thank you for your awesome videos
Thanks very much, appreciate the support and glad you're enjoying my content. If you buy it direct from FMS you can use my referral link in the description to support the channel. There's also a link to buy from Fair RC, as they're offering a load of free upgrade parts right now worth about $130. 👍 It's an awesome rig and excellent value for money imo. 👍😎
Thanks very much 👍 I hear you there on the indicators, imo it ruins any scale realism, like who indicates every time they turn?! Most people don't indicate when they need too! 🤣🤣🤣 To answer your question not sure sorry. 👍
You can unplug the two wires on the bottom part of the unit that the light wiring plugs into and you can plug one into the slot that says "DRL" (day running lights) and the other into the slot that says "BRK-LT" (brake light). The turn signals won't work after that, and the lighting on the car will be a little more realistic, in my opinion.
Thanks very much 👍 I was thinking about it, but my trx4 is massively modified so not sure it would be a fair comparison tbh, unless Traxxas want to send me one...but I doubt it! 🤣😬
How have the 2 exposed-ish diff locking mechanisms been holding up to the muddy trailing rides? This rig is so attractive. I enjoy mudding meself but wary of them tiny levers in long term frequent mudding. Whats your experience so far?
Yeah fine so far. The only issue I had was one of the screws holding the diff lock arm came loose. So if you get one, I'd recommend putting some threadlock on the screws. Otherwise everything still works. I've just finished editing a video of this rig doing a very rough 60 gate rock trail, so if you want to see how tough it is, stay tuned for that. 👍
Wow! Thats a really capably rig! seemed effortless with the rock crawling at the end of the vid! And all that for $400? (£316,80 is that right?) Man that unbeatable for what you get! 👍👍😍
They recommend running it on a 2s lipo, but it can take a 3s lipo. I run mine on an Overlander Sport Track 5000mah 3S lipo. On a decent 5000mah lipo you'll get a good couple of hours runtime easy. For the transmitter, just some decent AA batteries. 👍 If you're in the UK I've got a discount code for Overlander Batteries you can use in video description. 👍
🤣 I hate indicators too. 👍 Not sure if you can turn them off, probably unplug them though, or just cut the wires while swearing at them! 🤣 One of the most pointless things on an RC imo! 🤣👍
🤣 But also just because you did it first doesn't mean others can't do it better! Not that I'm saying it's better than the trx4, only time will tell on that one. 👍
I think it's cool to have all the features if people want them. Personally I just run my diffs locked as I mud so much, but the dig function is cool. 👍
I'm not convinced. Lot's more things to go wrong and I bet there's not much after market support available. Buy cheap buy twice. Having said that its nice to see someone pushing the envelope.🤔🤔
I get what you're saying, but people probably said the same when the trx4 came out. With how popular FMS is, it won't be long before loads of parts are available. Only time will tell how durable it is though. For the money though and what you get it's a bargain imo. Just need to sort that slipper clutch so I can rip up the mud in second gear! 🤣😁
@@mattrevsrc3094 True, but I think you get more for your money with this, especially with the transmitter. But yeah, only time will tell on durability. I'll do my best to break it! 🤣😁
Great review, thank you 👍🏻🤗 Must say I’m rather envious as would love to have one and that colour matches my FCX24 version. Like you I’m not normally a fan of all the manual diff options and normally run everything locked and only like dig, but get on FMS for including so many options out of the box 👍🏻 Magnetic lights is a great feature as the wires are always a pain. I think seeing your review my only disappointment is the body not being a hard body, other than that what an awesome machine 👍🏻 Cheers, Mike 🤗
I’ve now seen two UK reviews. My question is how are you getting them as no one in the UK is listing them yet and I’ve tried to order direct from FMS but they don’t ship any 1/10 models overseas 🤷♂️ So guess that by the time they eventually arrive in the UK the introductory models with the free accessories won’t exist anymore 😩
Yeah ita great that it has so many features and makes it great value for money. I was really happy with the performance too, even the stock tyres were decent. 👍 Yeah hardbody would be awesome, but I think this rig is more about performance and competing with the big boys. 👍
@@DoURC I like the clipless design. Just wish it was a cooler vehicle, like an FJ cruiser or a Jeep Wrangler something along those lines. I'm just not a fan of the Blazer. 😁
Traxxas should not be and is not worried. i'm kind of worried why so many people like this Fugly blazer I will admit it's got a lot of features but have you seen it
🤣 Yeah I kinda have, as I made the video! I'm not a chevy fan so think it looks nice enough. I think it's great other brands pushing themselves and trying to compete with the big boys. 👍
Yeah, but just because they did it first doesn't mean others can't do it. Otherwise we could say the same about every RC...ooh, looks like a so and so copy, then we'd never have anything new! 👍
$10 kiwi more than the RGT EX86190 LC76 🤔 my money goes to RGT which comes with a full interior never been a fan of the American shoe box shaped trucks Toyota is a much better truck for this Kiwi😉 my next truck is going to be the Riaario Croboll Mk07 RC Car 1/7 Off-Road Climbing Vehicle With High And Low Speed Front Rear Differential Lock Transmission!!!! that comes in at 1/2 the price of a Axial SCX6 🤑
Has FTX paid Chevrolet thier liscencing fee? My understanding is they have not for the Ken Block foundation while using the Hoonigan logo. I do hope this is just internet crap. However if not, shame on you.
I don't mind the body tbh, but I'm not a massive chevy fan, so the little details that everyone is picking up on doesn't really bother me. I think value for money, features and performance it's brilliant. 👍
@@DoURC Don't get me wrong the actual workings are awesome. They just need a better body. I am not a Chev fan of course so I just wouldn't want it because I don't want a replica of a truck that I don't like.
@MagnifiedGiant That's fair enough. I hope they do some other bodies for it and their FCX18 range. Something different like a Nissan Patrol or Discovery would be cool. 👍
@@DoURC So far I've only seen a few videos of the car. I wanted to order it myself from FMS, but they don't deliver to Germany! 🤬 Then I ordered the car from a German dealer where it appeared to be in stock and after ordering I received a message that the car was currently not available. Looks like the release of the car in Germany isn't until April. 😤 Maybe FMS is just unlucky if I see another car... 🤪 I already have a TRX4 Cheyenne HIgh Trail. 😍
For the money it's crazy isn't it. Obviously only time will tell on durability, but so far so good. The tyres are definitely the best tyres Injora have done to date. Same goes for the tyres on the FCX18 K10, their best so far. 👍
Really really good product.................but......made in china from FMS in china ........but FCX10 is good choice...........for thinking price......
Mixed messages on this tbh, they talk about it as splash proof, but I believe that's because the light module is only ppx4, whereas the all in one esc is ppx7(iirc). The manual states both the esc and light module are waterproof but I guess they're covering themselves saying it's splashproof, unless they've changed it already on the website, I haven't looked. 🤷♂️
This does look a fab piece of kit and a competitive price, even over here! (about 500€ delivered) Strong resemblance to the TRX4, but some of the extra functionality is great! And it is certainly very capable straight out of the box. I just don't like those oversized wheels - I'd have to try and get hold of a set of the latest wheels fitted to the RC4WD Chevy hardbody, which I reckon would look a whole lot nicer. 😄
Yeah, I think anything with these features is going to be similar to the TRX4, but I think it's great for us the consumer other brands making pushing the big boys. Hopefully this is the start of something good from FMS. 👍 I think out the box, it's great value for money and a great performer. 👍
@@DoURC I bought a lot from UK in the apst but now since they left European Union im afraid i have to pay customs or some other tax. I asked FMS they dont send 1/10 cars to Portugal, EuroRC doesnt have the one i found its 489€...
I think the tail light bulbs are in the wrong holes because the backup lights flash when turning and the tail lights come on in reverse it seems. Sumthins` weird!
