Thank you, durok! When I copy/ pasted "fms fxc24 butcher" nothing came up... well, nothing related to rc anyway yikes... lot's of other disturbing things did but not the power wagon lol. But yep... that amazon link you provided took me right to it. Now... let's see what the boss has to say. Hope she has a good day at work today/ fingers crossed!

The video links that I was referring to were the ones posted by Oscillat0r. I'm pretty sure that it's something with my computer or security protection that I've been having issues with lately. But ...ugh I really want to see one of these in action. I may try searching later to see what videos my PC will allow me to see lol.

Video links seem to be working but I made them public so you can search for fms “butcher” on YouTube and they should show up

FYI - here’s a compare to some other power wagons…Panda k1 (1/18th), FMS Atlas 6x6 (1/18th), FMS FCX24 (1/24th)









(…this thing would make an awesome 6x6)

Well, heck - I'm confused by the Atlas being supposedly 1/18th and the FCX24 being as big as it is...

I'm going over to my crawlin' buds house on Saturday and he has 1 (or two?) Axial SCX24s, wondering how it will compare.

I had never planned on buying anything smaller than 1/10th because I just wasn't impressed by their detail level before...

(and I have WAY too many 1/10th trucks in various stages of completion)

lol. well I haven't had time to compare them running side by side (because i spend too much time yappin') but the FMS runs better and smoother than the 1st gen Axial or the CR-24...much better slow control in low gear than either and torque on par with the Axial. The fms feels much heavier as well (good thing imo)

Here are a couple of other 1/24 scale trucks for comparison (where did these all come from?!)









vs Axial SCX24




vs Hobby Plus CR-24

Many thanks for all the pics!

Doesn't look too bad next to the Axial, I think my pal has a Gladiator at least, and maybe a New Bronco... or at least he wants the Bronco as well.

My computer finally allowed me to view the videos. A little weight and smoother throttle response and it looks like it would be a formidable little rock rig. It's much wider than I thought it was.

It definitely is wider compated with the other stock rigs - unlike my 1/10 I’ve no spacers or axle extensions on any of them.

I’ve noticed other review videos popping up, presumably they will be done a bit more carefully than mine ;)

The axle width combined with the portals should make it very capable out on the rocks, for a 1/24 scaler...

I'll be keeping an eye out for the upcoming FMS upgrades, for sure!

2FM RC already changed the wheels to 1”, widened it, lengthened it, used some high clearance links in the back and broke the portals… but it was running real good before that! Go check his video on youtube.

I’m digging this rig after a few mods it’s a solid performer!
Stretched the front 6mm and 8mm in the rear.

I won a $30 off coupon via a FB "Guess the price" promotional for this crawler so I guess I will add one to my collection.
It always helps to lurk certain forums or hobby channels. I entered on the last hour of the contest.

As others have said this Power Wagon is actually 1/18 scale so for me that is a welcome surprise.

Love the lowered and lengthened look, chevy55.

(oh, yeah - and to fab up an exhaust)

You could always order the exhaust stacks from the Atlas 6x6 if you liked
that look... A little surgery on those pipes would yield a decent look I think.

Hi,
there is already a small promotion code for preordering the FMS FCX24 on BG:

BGFXC24 - 11 bucks off.



Looking enviously to you US guys, who can buy it with Prime and 1-day delivery for a top price.
Here in EU we are still waiting, ordering from US is super expensive (also Amazon.com, shipping, VAT/customs).
Announced in EU shops for August.
Hope I will get mine from BG earlier...
Aliexpress does also have it ...
