FMS FCX18 Chevy K10 review and run

Published 2024-04-09
Huge thanks to FMS for sending this cool truck over to review. The video is a bit on the longer side, if you just want to see the run, skip ahead to about 11 minutes in. I hope you all enjoy the video; I had a great time running it! It is a beautiful truck, and it did pretty well. I will be adding some weight and some grippier tires too and taking it back out. I do like that the wheels and tires for these small ones are much more affordable!
I could not really find a good video of the guts of the truck but here is Ampro Engineering’s “Buyer’s Guide” video for the FCX18 chassis that gives a bit more info for you -    • e428 - FMS FCX18 Chevrolet K10 - The ...

    Looks like another sweet crawler, Addam! Unreal detail, and great performance. What a beauty! 👍🏻😊
  • Hey Addam! Always Nice to get stuff in that you didn't have to pay for! what a treat for you! I really love what FMS has been bringing us lately! So Many cool features on this like that deep realistic looking Bed, and the battery under the hood compartment. I love the hi/lo beam headlights, but why can't they address our dislike for turn signals, or at the very least put them on a separate channel? They just don't seem to listen! Maybe they don't even watch these videos or just blatantly ignore their reviewers who they send these to' feedback. I'm not a Chevy Truck fan myself, but like you can't argue with an old square body. It looks fantastic! I do wish this came with smaller 1' wheels as these that are on it are not scale to an old Chevy Square body of its era and I'm just not a fan of large diameter wheels especially on vintage cars and trucks. Other than that I really like it. Seems large on my screen anyway, for a 1/18 scale rig. Not sure how it measures up next to like sized rigs? it looked very capable and just awesome in the area you have outside for crawlers and trail trucks! Really good and relaxing review and run test Addam. I would buy one at $140-ish but, $180 seems high for a 1/18. I will definitely have to watch for sales. Would love to see a late 70's ford version or an 80's power wagon or ram charger. Why make just bowtie people Happy? :hand-pink-waving::face-blue-smiling: Great job Dude!

    Excellent run and review Addam! I’m glad FMS chose you to review some of their trucks! The K10 looks great and seems to perform quite well! I’m with you; I wish companies would do away with the turn signals!👍😊
  • @EMPTYPOCKETSRC
    Good looking little truck for a Chevy. Always lots of fun with the little trucks.
  • @RCBirds
    Awesome unboxing and running video Addam. I like your drag break test. This car's awesome.
  • @FastFreddyRC
    Love the colour combination! And the drag brake is pretty amazing for something that small as an RTR. Cool find! It’s very capable in your living room setup and I love how slow it can go for crawling. When you were outside I had to laugh. When it got stuck and you’re trying to steer left and right to get it unstuck and the turn signals were going crazy I pictured the guy driving it in a panic to make sure people behind him knew what direction he was going lol
  • @ShenRC
    That's one good looking rig!! they do such a great job on the bodies!! Nice showcase!
  • @rcarty419
    Their little trucks are so sweet when it comes to scale details, except somehow the Fcx10, with back on it looks ok but with bed not so much. But this one and their mini blazer are just Awsome great buy dude!
  • @n22pdf
    Man looks awesome Addam what a great little truck FMS really are killing it at the moment with the scale looks and oil filled shocks, excellent ❤ great review and filming dude.. 😊 pete
  • @Toystheyrenot
    That’s a great looking truck. Looks like it’s pretty capable as a crawler too.👍😊
  • Well done FMS!! What a hot looking truck🔥👌. I don't know anything about comp crawler's or trail trucks but surely with its looks and throw a few scale bits n pieces in the cab and back it would be a stunner. Nice guitar on your intro etc👌. Just a nice size too. The drag brake is really good for me, easy to adjust out in the bush too👍. Thanks for showing your awesome test and run plus your magic unboxing👍😁Addam it was great. Take care mate and be good🙋‍♀️🤠🦘🇦🇺
  • I’ve got the glacier k10 which is basically the same thing but different axles. I love these
  • @IansRC1031
    Such a great little truck I can't get enough of mine enjoy wheels and tires is all I've done to mine it doesn't need many upgrades
  • My first RC ever. Lasted two days. Steering no longer works. It's being returned but I'm going to try another one. I know with model trains their are definitely bad apples and I amagine with RC's there is no exception.
  • @westernsharpie
    Very impressive. Looks great scale wise and performs well. I woulda died to have something like this as a kid. Great video bud
  • Lovely looking model mate, love the working lights to. It's amazing the level of detail that you can get on such a small truck these days. I bet you have plenty of good running terrain for one of these around the yard! Have a great week fella. 😊 👍 👍 👍
  • @UncleBobsRC
    I like the looks of this over the Blazer.... Great video man!!!!
  • Yeah, that is a such great looking pickup Addam! Definetely a want to have for me😀👍thank you for sharing!
