| FMS 1:12 Land Rover Series II (SWB)
They've done it again. They have turned out another jewel in their scale replica series, a 1958 to 1961 Land Rover Series II SWB (short wheelbase)... https://www.fmshobby.com/products/fm...-series-ii-rtr $199.99 at this time and free shipping since it is over $99.00. A bargain compared to the $299.99+ that the 1:12 Willys MB was at the time of release. My only gripe so far is their continual re-use of the two-piece combat wheels of the Willys MB and the non-directional (and worthless) WWII tread. By 1958 they had better all terrain tires. They re-used the Willys MB tires and wheels on their 1:12 Toyota FJ45 truck too. That's just being lazy. All the usual bells and whistles similar to the 1:12 Willys MB; leaf spring suspension, scale axles, center transfer case with skid-plate, 2-speed transmission, full lighting kit with operating turn signals, operating steering wheel, opening doors/tailgate/hood, two roof options included, comes in your choice of 3 colors. Full ball bearings for a more efficient transmission and drivetrain Scale metal "C" channel frame. What's in the box: 1 x 1:12 Land Rover Series II RTR 1 x 2.4G Transmitter + 2 in1 ESC & Receiver (installed) 1 x 180 Brushed Motor (installed) 3 x 3Y 9g Digital Servo (installed) 1 x 2S Lipo 7.4V 380mAh Battery 1 x USB Battery Charger 1 x Hex Wrench Socket 1 x Product Manual 1 x Bind Connector Need to Complete: 4 x AAA Batteries for Transmitter Specifications: Length: 270mm Width: 135mm Height: 149mm Wheelbase: 169mm Tire F/R : Φ 54.8*19.5mm Minimum Ground Clearance: 31mm Approach Angle: 57° Departure Angle: 42 ° Motor: 180 Brushed motor Battery: 2S Lipo 7.4V 380mAh x1 Remote control distance: 30m Approx. operating duration time: 20mins Remote control: MG41-BS transmitter, R4A1 receiver with ESC group control board Last edited by Undead Jeeper; 08-01-2023 at 11:54 AM. |

Very nice and agreed, those tires/wheels are not period proper! The wheels are way to large diameter and therefore the tires sidewalls are too short! Rest of the truck is a beauty.

Found out that the model is not a true 1/12 (but are they ever, when they borrow parts from previous models?) Measures out to 1/13.3 so a 6 inch figure (which corresponds to an average male height of 6 feet) is a bit too large but not extreme. Maybe that makes a 6 inch figure a 7 foot man in the scale..? |
