2 speed and portals? This is what we’ve been waiting for! If only FMS would send me one 😂
😂 😂 😂 Me too while they're at it...
@@alantaylor353 get in line 🤣
hhahaha
@@Hoosierdaddyjones812 me first though 😂😂😂

Everybody talking about this rig and looks to be for a good reason. It's so refreshing to see a brave and different approach to the 24th scale scene. Many people disappointed for the plastic gears, while my modified SCX24 's also have plastic tranny and the Tamiya TT02's comes with plastic diffs and are very reliable...
yeah the plastic diffs should be fine, my TT02's can handle 3s brushless😂
It's the plastic gears in the portal boxes that are failing. The slot on the gears were the drive pin inserts strip out. The plastic used in this spot is to soft. Hopefully FMS comes out with metal gears for the portal axles.
@@fireuprc5693 I ran 6000kv on 3S through the plastic gears on my TT02 😅
Cool looking truck
Reminds me of “Stubby Bob” from Roadkill, now there’s a mod, rear engine wheelie truck
👍🏻😎
When I saw this truck, That's the first thing that I thought of.
I was blown away buy this little thing. I didn't get any upgrades in mine.
I don't know what kind of movie witchcraft you performed there, but I am certain from description:
2speed gearbox, portal axles, lockable differentials
that we are watching a TRX4 in action. Clear as day. 😂
Awesome tiny truck and the power wagon is such a cool looking crawler in any size/scale
This looks a great truck. Visually nice, portal axles, 2 speed gearbox, drives well and a compact transmitter! Ideal for chucking in a rucksack.
I can't be the only person who looks forward to the pointy finger noise. Thanks for that.
Great truck, excited to see it make a splash in the 24th scene.
I do hope they offer metal gears ASAP, will make it more reliable.
Don’t need metal gears when it’s such a small scale
yeah, maybe some metal parts will lower the gravity center too
It’s definitely the king of the 1/24s. And it’s fricken adorable and affordable. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay we have a winner
That modulation is fantastic, nice little truck 👍
FMS is putting out some cool stuff lately!
Mine worked for seconds before stripping portal gear carriers. It worked for an hour or so with all the gear carriers glued until the ESC/receiver broke. This truck I got first day of release has been broken down and I bought and paid for new complete axles (metal gears), an ESC/receiver/radio combo that came broken and useless and will not bind to anything I have including 4 scx24 radios, the radio that came with the truck and the radio that came with the ESC/receiver. My truck is a lemon and FMS gives no response unless I give them money for parts they should be happy to give me at no extra cost. Overall I think the truck is generally durable enough for what it is, which is why the company is not dead to me yet. I spent $150 for the truck and $32 for the axles with metal gears before they announced free upgraded gears, $55.98 on the esc/receiver/radio that is useless but still want a working fcx24 Powerwagon. I also bought from them an extra battery and other optional parts. What I don't want is to give this company another dime for parts they should be standing behind and happy to provide at no extra cost. At the very least they should be rushing me a bought and paid for ESC/receiver that works but I feel they owe me a complete working product.
When you started driving outside i couldn't focus on the car because of the amazing nature you were driving around in. We don't have that here in the Netherlands
I think the shocks can be oil filled using those o-rings.
I haven't bought any "FMS" yet (even if they are superb, but the price is a little too expensive for me), I only have axial in 1/24 but I may be fine letting myself try if optional coin sellers follow.
In any case, this little crawler is really classy.
Thank you for your test and review.
Hi have the red one, just put the steel gears in the portals soon as I seen FMS release them, it out performs my SCX 24 bronco I couldn’t believe it I have a Lotta money in my bronco 90% mofo RC products all of his brass components, And my FCX 24 power wagon I’ll performed it. I think it’s my favorite rig, appreciate your sharing, this is the beauty of this awesome Hobby. I’ll be watching more
Many of the crawler vids you bring out inspire me to mod my current crawlers. I like the idea of a tough truck project. Nice review here mate, you're doing good work. I'm lol at your pointing stick.
What an awesome little truck 🥰 I hope that's on ur list 😁👀 great review pal awesome footage 😊🙋♂️
Awesome looking trucks, Phil! Really nice!!! 😃
Great review and ride as always!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Looks lovely little truck!! It's quite capable too!! Ah, a Casio man! A GA-2100, nice!! Cool video!!
I bought a couple of the little crawlers at the start of lockdown and loved them still get them out in the evening and make up a death defying track with whatever I can lay my hands on and some 3d printed track you can use to make ramps or bridge over a gap so I think I might just order one one of these trucks I really like the two speed gearbox the light function and that body is screaming out for a little airbrushing of some rust and an odd coloured wing , great video again , keep up the good work and stay safe mate ...
I caught the 'rona and was down for a month....I ordered a C24 and made an indoor track out of old styrofoam and some spray foam.....have to paint it up and gather up some twigs and stick and stuff to make it even more challenging.
I had an old tub of drywall compound too, that's good for texturing flat spots. I made a groove on the back side of my hill to resemble a dry stream bed. Shaped it with drywall compound.
Probably hit up the dollar store and buy a bag of tongue depressers to make a rope bridge out of......
@@muskokamike127 that sounds brilliant it’s a shame we can’t post pictures I’m sure lots of people would like to see what you have made mate ...
@@keithbutler6361 Once I get around to painting it I'll post it to imgur or somewhere like that.
I don't like cross referencing to my facebook profile on here due to all the spammers.
@@muskokamike127 when you do get it done let us all know how we can view your pictures, I’m looking forward to seeing them .
There's a pretty big buzz about this truck. Looking forward to trying to get my hands on one. I really like the Idea of 2 speed gearbox. It's a game changer in the 24th scale world for sure. 👍🏼
Why is it a game changer? I have trx4 sport and 2speed trx4, and single speed is all you need
@@valuerc2664 because it's the first 1/24 to have one? With it being able to drive faster it makes it better for trailing
if only it was actually 1/24 instead of 1/18.
@@TheShopMiniRC I kind of wondered if it wasn't a 1/24
What's really cool is that you can buy the portal axles for $16 a peice and also the gearbox for also $16 and you can retro fit them into a scx24! I did on my deadbolt makes it epic! For a cheap price
I bought this FCX24 because of you... and it's so good!!
Nice 1/24 let's hope they do the metal parts for it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
we wish it was actually 1/24. Its more 1/18
Would be cool if you put a side by side comparison of this to the SCX24, just to see the size difference
The orings are for the shocks so you can put oil in them.
This is what the unimog (mogrich) body would have fittet perfectly on, with the portals.
Loving the Casioak got it in black favourite everywhere watch
Top tip for CoG wheel weighting, Get a roll of stick on window lead from a merchant, stick it to the wheels inside the tyres.
Haha the glove pointer and sound effect gets me every time 😄
NICE! Really like the retro look it has with that cab.
It kinda looks like a 1/18 scale with a short wheelbase. Would be nice to see a head to head comparison video with an SCX24. Keep up the great content Tomley.
Slow and steady wins the race 😉
That thing that you said was a Snorkel Tom it’s actually the Exhaust. That’s how those old Power Wagons were built back then they went with the Tractor look and the tractor type of Exhaust that sticks up also you can Buy Tractor wheels too for a Bigger Power Wagons. I believe Dodge is the maker of them!
I enjoyed your review. Thank you very much for sharing. It has some very cool features.
Yellow mellow for sure tomley. Nice truck
Good looking truck,love the blue!
That is a cool little crawler, not sure about the price though. At least it has portal axles and the 2-speed transmission I suppose...
Awesome looking RC and review, have a great weekend brother
Cool 1/24 mini Crawler!
I like the blue. Very cool looking rig.
When i was driving wpl b36 with two speed and plastic proppeller shafts, i put some heat shrink around u-joints and it hold together pretty well.
I like that it's not a worm gear like scx24 and far as upgrades sure aftermarket will make metal gears for it.
I wish one of these companies would make a studebaker/REO bodied crawler truck LIKE TGE ONES USED IN WW2 and Korea
Looks really nice, but pretty top heavy. Not sure I would have gone with portals AND 2-speed. I think portals are great in terms of authenticity and for really slow crawling. In that case I would have wished for a Unimog body. I will probably wait until that is available. And the 2-speed would have been nice with a lower profile truck that you can either crawl slowly or run at higher speeds e.g. in sandy conditions (where the SCX is kind of slow and / or burns the motor). Design wise I still like the Deadbolt best of all 1/24 crawlers, but that is only my personal preference, or maybe my old Losi micro crawler based custom Unimog - that looks even better, but is 1/36 scale!
Im stoked to get mine just ordered last night
Funny you should do a review of them truck I have being delivered at any moment. This video has got me even more excited than I ever thought I would be about a 1/24 scale truck. 👌
I really like it. Super cool and very nice
To me it looks like the wheelbase is too short. They should add some longer rear suspension links and drive shaft to the package!
Love those tires a grate buy Tomley
That's a cool looking little truck I might have to get one of those portals and a two-speed in a 124 yeah
O yeah cool cool cool looking rig 👌
Great truck now I just need to get mine some 24 scale bull ball nuts .
Great vid, as always! Wonderful to see a 1/24th with gear box, as well as portals! Some metal parts upgrade, but overall, great platform to start with!
Since we're on the subject, what's your overall preference on the scale of the rc? Like, do you have a preference, overall, or do you use each for certain things?
I like the 1/16 so far, it seems to be a great in-between that allows for big and smaller areas. I know price point is exponentially higher when you go bigger than 1/16, as my 1/8 scale monster truck costs what a fleet of 1/16 do!!
Thank you for your vids!
😮 love it
Awesome little truck but I will wait and see what spare/upgrade parts will be avaliable first.
truck is nice! Tiny bit bouncy... I like the metallic red one. Also, you make terrific videos! Cheers.
Spettacolare...gran bel video....e modello bellissimo... complimenti... ciao dall'Italia
Wicked montage at the end : )
Thanks Del
@@TomleyRC I do think you're right, though, about the importance of the 2 speed box and the portal axles having been introduced at this scale.
I think it'll raise the bar across the 1:24 scale segment of the industry.
yeesss. finally a 24 with 2-speed😎👍
So torn. They've got so many good models out now.
I like the G-Shock!
it's so nice, i'm glad i didn't bought the bronco yet, i'll go with this for a change !
The burgundy is definitely the most traditional colour. I’d have to say the blue and yellow do look great
Traxxas missed out. They’re missing a huge market here and I was thinking the first 2 speed 24th scale would be a trx 24 but 🤷🏼♂️
I’ve got a blue on the way!
That plug that’s not plugged into anything can be for a little camera or extra set of lights!
Nice video bud, yellow for me I think 👍
Those wheels 🤤
I like the yellow👍
Hello from southeast alaska it's cool truck bro
So small wow hope you have a great day
Oh I see giving us the finger again! Nice this little rig has me amazed it’s to good to ignore. I’m wondering what changing the tires would do.
that truck kinda reminds me of jeepers creepers =) =)
The red one is my favorite
Thanks bro I just ordered 90 dollars in scx24 upgrades and now I’m in the hole for another 165🤞4 day shipping 😂
Mine showed up last night. Hopefully I can take it out for a drive to see how it is out of the box. One thing that was surprising to we was how heavy it was. It is not a light weight.
Wow I like the look of it! and you got THREE! 😂😂😂 I think the low gear needs to be a bit faster.
Love it if it was fitting with brass parts would it make it less top heavy
Not sure if you already know but the O rings are to put oil in the shocks.
Yes, seen that!
The Panda Hobby has portals, but I'm not a fan of how it runs. I uploaded a video of that, the FMS Atlas 6x6 and the Gladiator crawling in my yard at night, I think it's a 10 minute video. I was happiest with the Atlas.
I put brass weights on the Atlas. They were meant for the SCX24. Paid like $10 for them.
See if the o-rings will fit inside the shocks; fill with oil.
People spend $200 to upgrade the scx24 to the stock version of this .. making the SCX24 damn near $400 rig upgraded which puts you well into 1/10 scale .. the FMS stock is what most people need .. indoor courses and your done !
It just needs some weight in the tires and it will be fine. Thank you sir for yet another purchase I have to make.blololol
It's a nice car. I've modified the shell of Unimoc for it.
They must be passing out these trucks like playing cards, they are all over CZcams this week. There is no way in hell that this is 24th scale
Cool 👍😀
Thx tho, was waiting to get my hands on pandahobby tetra which isn't available here for ages. Perfect alternative, cheers
Aw ain't it cute lol . Performs decent for a lil thing. Seeing as you have 3 Phil , you need to custom a couple 👍
looks like it could use some wider softer tires as well.....
Yup and if i can find one of these trans I'll install it in the scx!
I just bought one today after watching this video but how do I bind the transmitter to the car? I haven’t touched rc for almost ten years. Please enlighten
Yellow for me!
Needs brass or aluminum gears in the portals from what I’ve seen so far. That being said I want one!!
Hi tomley, didn't see where the battery mounts. What kind of battery it needs. it easy to change or remove. Yellow is the best color. Thanks for your review. Keep the awesome work tomley
Nice video! Really nice RC!!! Do you think it would be possible to take the motor/transmission out of the FCX24 and put it into another one of FMS Model's RCs, such as the LC80 or K10?
High gear probably just makes the drag brakes weaker, instead of turning it off completely
Is it available as a kit? Building it would be the fun part.
Just checked on fms web site it has oil filled shocks even better
