You can adjust the brake in the settings. After adjusting mine, it has crazy stopping power where it will stand up on the front wheels. Makes jumps and landing so predictable, much like jumping bigger trucks.
Is that in the setup? I did look and I didnt see anything but I am sure you are correct.
@@AMPROEngineering in the manual there is a setting to adjust the esc brake. By default the brake is basically not existent but with the other option it has superb brakes. Page 12 brake function is where I found it. Made that adjustment and wow it has brakes now.
Gonna pin this!@@SchmingyYT
@@AMPROEngineering Awesome. Glad it was of help. After adjusting the brake, this truck is a blast in the house when the weather has been less then enjoyable outside. A 3D printed ramp and away we go. The slower gear is perfect for little ones and still has enough punch to “jump” off the ramp to keep the little one happy.
ThankS for this tip, I'm gonna buy one soon.
This is by far the best 1/24 Basher there is!👌
I have one since about a month and I and my kids really happy. 😁
I have to agree. These are awesome.
Got mine a month ago its a awesome and tough truck worth the price!!
Oh yeah that is why I left all the crashes in! It is a great truck. I still see no use for the 2 speed though.
I recently got a mini e revolves, the brushed one it's great fun. I am sure these are better value for money. Mine was second hand.
I am blown away by it but I do not know a lot about these "basher" style cars.
Reminds me of the losi micro's. I miss that thing...
Yeah I would say it is a similar size.
That’s a pretty neat little unit. It reminds me of the RC18T
Really surprised by it, we both were. I don't think the 2 speed is needed but other than that, damn!
Great review.
thank you!
nice review 👍 interesting car
Thank yoU!
Thanks for your videos. I would love to see someone take this truck and turn it into a more realistic baja bug desert racer. The FMT24 wheelbase is 140mm which is fairly close to the WB for the Playmobil VW beetle toy car which is roughly 146mm. I've seen guys use the Playmobil beetles on their SCX24 builds, but that's not very realistic (due to the straight front axle). With the FMT24 chassis, it would look more like a real Class 5 Unlimited Baja desert racer. The main question I would have is whether this chassis can accept the right wheels for a baja bug build. ??
That is a great idea. I do not have an answer as though the hexes are standard, i do not know what size they would need to be.
Could the lower gear work as a crawler version for the truck?
Yes it could.
Great review, thanks!
Sure thing!
I’ve got 2 now. When I was a kid my radio frequency could mess with my neighbors car. Any issue with these doing that close by? Or are they that well married like you showed?
Oh no, that was a different technology all together. Modern radios dont do that.
Can anyone help me? FMS Colorado or the EazyRC Colorado?? Both GM, ones brushless, one has lights, can anyone help? New to this!
Personally I feel the brushless one is too fast. This one (brushed) was perfect for its size.
Any recommendations for tires? The stock are awful in the dirt.
Hey Eric, yeah they are totally tarmac tires. Sadly I do not know about alternatives for it.
@@AMPROEngineering No worries 👍 👌
Once you break it, its done fms doesnt have the inportant parts on this.. disposable mini truck😢
Have you looked at their site? They sell every inch of it: www.fmshobby.com/collections/fmt24-1-24-chevrolet-colorado-parts
Where can you find a brushless?
I think the FMS site has them.
FMS is supposed to release soon a brushless version, isn´t it? I really want one of these, but i do not know if it´s better to wait for the brushless one...
I heard that but to me, this is fast enough! haha!
Any idea when the brushless will come out?
@@jglo5649 I tought It was going to be soon, as i have even seen a "brushless gearbox for fmt24" announced in some pages. But I asked FMS and they kind of suggested it won't be that soon...
@@RG-pe8nrhave you seen the EazyRc Brushless one? I’m debating which one to get… both GM, the EazyRc has a light bar..
@@jglo5649 Yes, It is okay the EazyRc one, just not the same quality and materials. But It is fine.
Do you happen to know the wheel bearing sizes?
Sorry, I do not.
