Awesome job dude! Best and most informative video on these guys so far! This is what made me buy 2 @FMS ! Keep being thorough with your vids.

That was an epic video! I hope someone 3D prints a skid that makes the transmission and motor a little higher for clearance and link mounting position. Not looking forward to taking those cvds apart to install an OD, maybe better to get some UD in the rear.. Hmmm maybe a chassis that raises the skid??..

Thanks for watching my dude. I’ll have to try to see what it takes to flip the trans around. Maybe a future video.
Great size comparison. I love Kyoshos. But I think they are considered a truer 1/28 scale. They the best scale models by far and as you suggest, are excellent performers for their size.. These Land Rovers are fun - I’d love to see smaller tires on the Defenders. My only gripe is the lack of rear hangover in the Disco and the wheel wells are cut too high on the Range Rover. That being said, I’d get a Rangie.

Thank you for the review. Overall it's a bittersweet performance by FMS. Sweet bodies... that's about it. I was so so excited about this transmission, but they have to be used with the axles because of the reversed drive shaft direction, and... the axles suck. Someday i will buy one of these bodies when they become available. Totally bummed.

It’s definitely a trade off. The trucks perform fantastic. Just don’t break a cvd, it’s gonna take some time to fix. Easy, but was unexpected.

@@TheShopMiniRCKen, thank you for the fishing line crimp idea, I've already used it on shocks, AND also on mounting a Cedar on a Mini Komodo motor mount. The problem with the Cedar motor mount is that it has the motor in a bad spot, it touches the links.. can't drop down all the way. The Mini Komodo centers it, and raises it up a bit, this allows the whole rig to be dropped down. There are others that do it, but that red Furitek mount looks great! I used 12mm bolts, and a 2mm x 2mm id fishing crimp on the trans spur shaft to hold the spur out to contact the pinion. Now the rig sits at the ideal straight across link ride height without bottoming out the shocks, and still has full spring available. Perfect! You rock! I wouldn't have come up with the idea without your help!

Just received the discovery and d110, bought them after watching your video. They are awsome! One question, do you think a 900mah lipo with 30C 7.4v will work?
@TheShopMiniRC
26 күн бұрын
Any 2s (7.4) battery will work so long as it has the correct connector (or you change the plug ends or get an adapter), and it actually physically fits. The MAH of a battery is just the “gas tank size”. It’s how much run time you can get. You could put a 2000mah battery on the truck and drive around (not well as the battery is HUGE, but it would work) 900 is pretty big but you could make it work. Just know that the bigger the battery, the more weight up high and the worse your truck will perform.

Most of the older FMS/flysky combos have a low voltage cutoff, id assume these do too. Seems off if they removed that feature.
Could you flip the transmission?

I am sure you could do long as there is room for the motor. You will likely have to move some trays around. Maybe a future video.
Spectacular job in digging into them. While other influencers say what great these are and then u buy one and notice that about the axle and u don't get what u expected As far as price... We're conditioned now to think 99 is cheap. Don't kid yourself but they still make a lot of money and it's still overpriced for us and there isn't much competition between brands on prices with diff of like $20 which is nothing

It's FMS Though. They sent me a non working ESC/receiver/radio combo and insisted that I was lying about it and refused to make it right. On Fathers day they offered a Atlas 6x6 1/18 if I bought a 1/10 Atlas 4x4. When the package was one town away they say they refunded the 6x6 and it would not arrive. They refunded 1/2 the cost to buy a 6x6 ($60 and the 6x6 costed $111 at the time. They are thieves and fraudsters and should not be allowed to do business in America.
