Nick Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Among the few incredible legendary cars. The Chevrolet K5 Blazer is a representative of the famous C/K series, it was with the full-size C/K pickup chassis, strong power, and comprehensive configuration, and it once overwhelmed other competitors in the SUV market in the olden times, and sold well all over the United States. For paying tribute to this once popular American hard-core off-road vehicle, FMS has obtained the support and authorization of Chevrolet Motor Company, and grandly launched this simulation RC car - FCX24 CHEVROLET K5 BLAZER. We designed a pioneeringly two-speed transmission into a micro 1/24 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, reaching maximum mechanical performance in the smallest size. Combining off-road capability with automatic transmission, and with a heavy-duty 4-Likn suspension high-performance climbing chassis, both racing and climbing can be achieved! The bodywork comes in three representative colors of American car culture in the 1970s – red, brown, and black, and relives the old American feelings. Special electroplated stickers are innovatively used to highly restore the appearance design of the car body. This highly collectible and richly playable simulation RC car, now let's enjoy the infinite charm of K5 together! Features: Ready to run model Groundbreaking two-speed transmission High-passability door bridge design Hydraulic shock absorber system High-performance climbing base Four-link transmission system Simulation of the hard plastic car shell Remote control lighting system Portal Axle (metal gear) Metal gears steering servo High-strength integrated nylon frame Rapid Separation of car body Optional modification parts, like the front bumper, rooftop rack etc Specification: Radio Control: 118 x 73 x 145mm, 130g (Battery not Included) Model Vehicle: 253 x 129 x 128mm, 442g(Battery not Included Tire: D:54.8mm , W:19.5mm Wheel Base: 139mm Ground Clearance: 38mm Approach Angle: 57° Departure Angle: 45° Driving Speed: 8km/h Max Remote Control Distance: 30m Operating duration time: 20mins Key functions: Two Speed Transmission/Smart light effect Remote control: G3+ R3A transmitter, receiver with ESC group control board What's in Box: 1 x 1:24 FCX24 CHEVROLET K5 BLAZER TRUCK RTR 1 x 2.4GHz Transmitter 1 x 2-in-1 Receiver / 40A ESC (installed) 1 x 130 Brushed Motor (installed) 1 x 9g Plastic Digital Servo (installed) 1 x 13g Metal Digital Servo (installed) 1 x 7.4V 380 mAh Battery 1 x USB Battery Charger 1 x Hex Wrench Socket 1 x Product Manual View full news article 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I think small crawlers are not very usable and maybe a little flimsy, but dare i say it but i think i will end up with one of these in a couple of months, i see Injora have loads of hop up parts to fit it, lots of brass bits, really nice beadlock wheels and decent tyres, i can see me getting one and a pile of goodies 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with 1:10 scale I sometimes find myself wishing for more challenging terrain but with something like 1:18 or 1:24, you can always find somewhere to drive it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst i agree this model and to be honest all the fms/roc hobby micro crawlers are very good, i honestly dont believe them to be the best out there. ive had, losi micro crawlers, ftx mini 2.0, the ftx mini 3.0 (under a different brand i cant think of), axial scx24, roc hobby Land Cruiser, eazy rc glacier (light blue pick up which is my lads) and finally the Trx4m’s. I still wouldn’t mind a Mogrich though if any ever come up for sale…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 It looks like i will be ordering the Black K5, and i have put together a list of nice brass parts from Injora, now i have to say i did and still do feel the small crawlers are limited but this FCX is large for 1/14th, it looks fun to tinker with and a case of running it on suitable terrain, just could do with selling some more stuff first 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it was closer to 1/24th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grogg Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) I'm afraid to say the second that I saw nylon parts being advertised as a plus, I lost all interest in it. if I won't let nylon near my guitars unless it's very high quality nylon strings, there is no way in hell I'd want anything made of nylon on an RC anything, especially if it's going to be under the slightest amount of stress. Nylon loves to stretch and it would shock people just how much and how easily nylon likes to stretch - try tuning a classical guitar with a cheap set of nylon strings it will never hold it's tune.

ad456m Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 A lot of the nylon parts for rc are far better than metal, RPM arms are a nylon type plastic I believe and I’d run them over aluminium every day of the week. Nylon for guitar strings is almost certainly a different blend to that used for rc parts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
