FMS 1/18 RC Crawler K10 4WD Brushed RTR RC Car Official Licensed RC Model 4WD Hobby RC Crawler Remote Control Car with LED Lights 3-Ch 2.4GHz Transmitter for Adults

I have run the truck on the back year and for a mini crawler it is awesome, it will crawl on small rocks and roots. the detail is awesome and the fact that the blinkers works on such a small vehicle it is great.I am starting to collect all of them the next will be the Toyota FJ. I will post pictures next time I run it.I know FMS for there airplanes which are excellent and now they are doing the same with the cars.

This is my son's most prized possession yo be quite honest. He takes better care of this truck than he does his own teeth... I know that's not really saying much 🙄 ... but he really loves this truck and it literally goes everywhere with him.

Bought this for my son and the first time we go to use it after following the manual for setup it has no reverse. So I say hey things happen so I reach out to the vendor selling this rc and let them know what's going on. After a few emails from their "tech department" to try make sure I set it up correctly and sending them videos of the problem still persisting. They have now ghosted me and have not responded to emails for over a week. All I wanted was a replacement, but now it looks like it's going to be a fight.

The truck comes with the rechargeable battery. Played with it all morning Christmas. Fun little truck. Durable and well constructed. Headlight and taillight all work. Cool features. I recommend.

(I have updated to a 3 star from 4 star rating) because it is one of the only really nice looking, scale model pickup trucks with a full bed and working tailgate at this scale (or any scale really). It is very capable as a crawler and, again, it looks awesome.However....I have had the truck for about 4 weeks and have yet to make it through a full battery without it breaking.The rest of this review may be used as a sort of users guide for those who are willing to work to keep their truck on the road.The first time it broke was from driving through grass, which it can do fine, but the motor was overtaxed from the effort and burnt out after about 1 minute. I replaced it with "INJORA RC Brushed Motor 050 50T Pro High Torque Motor" from Amazon. Which was basically a direct replacement. Just make sure to measure the distance from the pinion gear to the motor on the old motor before replacing the pinion gear onto the new one. It has a shorter shaft. This motor has worked great so far and been through much more abuse without any issue.The second time it broke was from driving slowly into a steep obstacle that stopped the truck and broke the gearbox. I bought direct replacement gears from Hobby Town. Easy install.The third time it broke was from driving into an obstacle and the gearbox broke again (gear teeth stripped off in both instances). This time I replaced with metal gears from Amazon "Laiaouay Metal Steel Center Gearbox Gears Set for 1/18 Scale FMS Cruiser". These were a direct replacement. (These gears come from multiple different named sellers, so if the Laiaouay are not available, keep looking.) I installed with a small amount of oil on each gear to help lubricate. Even with that, they are much louder than the plastic gears. They are way more durable though. No issues at all, even with "abusive" driving.The fourth time it broke was more minor, with the on-off switch separating from their wires. I had to remove the wire loom and re-solder the switch and made the joint stronger.(Update) It has broken again. Now the receiver and transmitter aren't pairing and I cannot diagnose the issue. Update: I spent $42 to buy a receiver/controller combo and got it fixed again. I now have the Traxxas 1:18 scale crawler and I always gravitate toward this little truck as it’s much more interesting and fun to drive.With the upgraded motor and gearbox, I think this is the best 1:18 scale crawler out there today (Traxxas is about to put that to the test with their soon to be released 1:18 crawler, but I wanted a truck anyway)I recommend this as a usable RC car only to someone willing to pay an additional ~$40 on the upgraded parts I mentioned (Or other similar upgrades). It is a necessity if you plan to crawl and use the truck. Otherwise, drive it gently and sparingly.(Last detail: The seller has acted like they are sending me replacement parts, but they have found an excuse not to so far for over a month. I wouldn't rely on free replacement parts under warranty. I will update accordingly as things progress. Update: the seller furnished me with a new part after 4 weeks.)

Motor gets super hot which a lot of people seem to have same issue. Battery doesn’t last very long. An overall it’s very loud for being so slow. However functional lights and taillights as wel as tailgate are nice. They could have added more detail for price. Such as painting trim or doing black background for grille making it look more realistic. All in all I like it it’s great platform for up grades but not best out of box

This is a great little truck and very detailed for the price range. I haven't used it too much for any real crawling because I suspect the motor and drivetrain are value engineered, but it's definitely fun and a great looking piece of history it does climb the local BMX ramps pretty good but I'm shy of putting it to any real tests until I can upgrade the motor.

I love this truck. It is very detailed and performs extremely well. The motor is powerful enough to drive the truck just about anywhere. I use it as a crawler and in the trail and it does not disappoint. It has lights that can be switched on and off from transmitter. It was a nice addition to my collection.
