Long story but ended up with another FMS Discovery.

 

As with my other, repainted it and added rear LED lights. Few minor mods, mostly cosmetic.

 

Also (as usual!:lol:) made a lightbar from keychain torch (hidden under 'box')

Ok guys you’re welcome to call me whatever you want but what’s the difference between the FMS fcx24 and the fcx24m ? From what I can tell the fcx24m has metal chassis rails and straight axles instead of portals is that it ? I’m looking at getting the disco when back in stock is everything else the same can you use the fcx24 parts on them and what not ?

Do you mean the little yellow Land Rovers ??

 

if so, they are smaller than the regular fcx24 (power wagon, blazer, etc.) the electrics could be similar but dont hold me to that…

 

only fella i know who has/had both variations is @Davy Crockett so probably the best to answer that for you.

From what I’ve read there completely different but having a little look at my disco I’m starting to think I’m not going to be able to work on it being such small screws and everything might try and sell on and get a trx4m something a little bit bigger just got a load of brass bits as well 😞

How are you running the rear lights ? have you just spliced into the front lights or made  your own

I got some LEDs from ebay, pared back the rubber tubing to expose the wires and checked which wire was positive.

Stripped the insulation back and soldered the LEDs in.... Job done
