FMS FJ45 - One great looking Supermodel!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
FMS recreates one of my favorite trucks, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Pickup. It's definitely one of the finest 12th scale RC truck bodies I've seen in a very long time. Spring-under leaf springs, functional tailgate, removable top and doors, this one has it all if you're looking for a finely crafted model. Is it a great RC though? Watch and find out.

Another belter from Fms . They are making some beautiful models. I love the fj. I’ve just bought the wpl kinda a fj . Maybe I should have waited 😂😞😂

Just saw this on the FMS Instagram page and was going to message you. Then I got an alert that you posted this video. Figures. Watching now.
YES!! Anything Land Cruiser is a plus in my book. Been waiting for an FJ45, wish it were 1/10 but 1/12 will do for now. Thanks FMS!
This looks great. I bet a 4.5" GI JOE figure would fit excellent in there. 🤔
gorgeous!
This is an incredible little rig. This could be a lot of fun in the back yard
We need 1/6!!!
Love this model had a couple of the FJ range, pretty sure you can increase the steering throw from the remote also the indicators can be deleted from the transmitter, yep done a good job on it detail wise.

Sigh, another car to add to my ‘I want one’ list 😂
WPL calls their FJ45 (C34 & 44KM trucks) 1/12. This appears to be closer to 1/14, if I had to guess.I’d be interested in getting one of these but I already have a decked out C44KM in virtually the exact same color. And it crawls like a champ for its size. The FMS is a great looking truck. They did it right. But I’m just not sure I’ll put the money into one right away.
12th scale is really improving. 16th has been a laborious hassle.
thanks for the review! Got one sitting on my desk now, and yes it does look amazing! Would you be keen to show how it could be lifted (slightly, not in a ridiculous way:-), Maybe axleflip? Will steering link and shafts still operate etc.? Is it possible to get better steering out of it? Would be awesome, thanks heaps!

What a great little C44KM! Er, I mean, FMS. I love it! (Steering wheel looks overly large compared to the other cab details... kinda hard to un-see that, really. But otherwise, love it). Nice job, Matt!

I wasn't sure and checked some FJ40 cabin pics, and the wheel might be ever so slightly bigger than it should, but maybe not as much? These older 4x4s had quite a big wheel, as they would (probably) not be designed for power steering, and a bigger radius helped with the effort made to move the wheel =)

@@YoShImUrA53 true, and even the 60 series I learned to drive in didn't have power steering, though it had a smaller wheel than in the 40s. The 40s I've been in do have a bigger wheel - I see at least one most weekdays round these parts - but the one in this model is almost comically large! No big deal, just a big wheel.
So how long before it gets weathered? 😁
Did the sound go off at .57 or was I having a stroke?? Best looking Rc since they did the Chevy.
Hi! A wonderful RC - Model for sure! I’m Not the big expert in RC ,i use my RC’s not for competitions,only for fun.

I cut the turn signal wires on my RocHobby Katana and spliced them into the head lamp and rear lamp wires. Obviously this means they are permanently on when I turn on the lights, but I'd rather have that than the irritating turn signal. Who does that off road anyway !!
Nice and very detailed, BUT - its 1/12 😉
The bed depth and length screams for “stuff”! I saw video on the internet where the turn signals were disabled by turning the controller off and on twice while holding the throttle full reverse and the steering full left….then put down the controller, pick up your scale 🔨 and smash those little suckers right out!😂 They are soo annoying 😬
It's a good looking model detail wise but they really need to go into larger scale to really hit the mark for me! At very least 1/10 for me!
