FMS has released a 1/10 scale Toyota FJ40 and it's big, detailed and looks excellent... but let's make it better. With new tires, wheels, and a few scale accessories, an upgraded FJ40 not only looks better, but crawls better too.

lol, the chassis maybe 1/10 but the body looks about 1/7 or 1/6.

@brendanb.8007 9 месяцев назад

This truck looks so nice. The servo for the steering wheel is really nice to have out of the box if you want to have a driver in your truck. I can't believe it has a full interior and all the doors open for a rtr. This is so detailed. I love it!!

@jochenweisel8612 9 месяцев назад

this is the best FJ40 presentation video I have seen. I love these close up shots where I can see all details. Thx

@yiarkungfu 9 месяцев назад

Yep, big bore shocks and heavy weight shock oil will get rid of the wobbles and help it crawl like a TRX4. Changed the servo to a RAW 500, upgraded the esc to a Hobbywing 1080, added a new receiver with 8 channels instead of 4. New Mytrickrc headlights, tail lights, light bars and flood/rock lights, lastly I swapped out the black plastic wheels for some gorgeous Injora brushed aluminum with a chrome hub cap.

@seththomas2490 9 месяцев назад

Upgrade the shocks to a better big bore 65mm shock. Works like a charm

@RON4RC 9 месяцев назад

Yeah that would be my first upgrade... she's a little bouncy.

@rudykwan9196 5 месяцев назад

Do u think 70mm yeah racing big bore could fit plug n play? Because i couldnt find the 65mm in my country..

@marccyberwiz 9 месяцев назад

You can flip the hood latches making them functional.

@FarmerFpv 9 месяцев назад

It's much better with the leaf spring kit on it. It's smooth with very little bounce with the leaf spring kit. Yall should install it on yours and do another upgrade update video.

@TrokaRC 9 месяцев назад

Need the leaf springs asap to keep it from tipping over.

@yiarkungfu 9 месяцев назад

If you only do one mod, get some 65mm big bore shocks, Amain carries them. It's like having a new truck and turns it into a crawler that can do some real lines.

@abudhabikid 9 месяцев назад

how does this compare with the "6th" scale jimny from them? they seem very similar even though one is "6th" and one is "10th"

@tigerone2353 9 месяцев назад

Nice truck- nice video thanks

@skagerstrom 8 месяцев назад

Only flaw I can see is that you'll drench the radio if you use the nice carry case and have a wet car. FMS going into 1/10 is a massive win otherwise!

@fromthebackofmymind 9 месяцев назад

Shocks and spring kit from desert lizard.

@scaleworksRC 9 месяцев назад

Very nice for the price. Nice old school look, detailed interior, decent quality, and comes with proper tires. It's no Camel Trophy truck though. The one from D1RC is my ultimate. 3x what this costs too.

I really like the boxes that come with most of the FMS trucks. The only bad thing is that as soon as you upgrade them, they don't fit in that box anymore 😢

@JD-tl7ld 9 месяцев назад

If you guys really wanted to do a worthwhile video about these trucks, and their part compatible siblings. You would have shown putting some shock mounts and better shocks on it. These vehicles use shorty little shocks and there isn't a lot out there that's useful without fabbing up some sort of mounting system. These trucks as well as the Mashigan and Atlas really need it. The chief complaints are the Shocks, wheels/tires, and ESC.

@jonmandelbaum5395 25 дней назад

Is the body painted or is it just blue plastic

@AMain_Hobbies 22 дня назад

Shoot, I think it's painted but I may be wrong. We don't have the truck anymore to double check for you. For the Fusion setup, I think it would fit, although space is tight. For the extended wheelbase, I'd imagine so but you might need longer suspension links and front-center driveshafts. For fitting other hard bodies, it would require some custom work, but I imagine it could be done. When there's a will, there's a way! -Brett
