    As a kid from the 70's, that had a Camel Trophy Range Rover poster on his bedroom wall in the 80's. These look fantastic, especially the Rover. That washout at 19:02 looks unbelievably fun to wheel. Great times with the kids too!

    I really like the Range Rover and Discovery a lot. The defender 90 has that squashed stubby look like the fcx24 K5 blazer. I dont think it would be as noticeable if fms didn't completely nail the scale looks on the other 3! I plan to get one pre-ordered today, I have it narrowed down to 2. Great overall breakdown and comparison Adam!

    This is an excellent review. You did a very thorough job. They look great and have a lot of great features. As you mentioned the scale appearance is outstanding. I think your copilot did a great job and demonstrated what r/c cars are for, having fun. I think I would buy one of then Defender versions for the larger tires.

    @blaismerchant8582 been trying to brainstorm, thinking mues straight axle in the front n whatever portal axle in the rear. That would also give it some rear underdrive that could help. Another option i think would just be swapping out the trans for the older style without counter-rotation then proceeding. I think that mix match axles could be cool n different. Regardless im excited to see how people build these up n how they compete.

I was spoiled everything was out on amazon i wanted. Are there parts i can get from the fcx24? (correct me if i am wrong on the car number) or will i need to wait for the specifics? i can do 1" tires and any springs i want, correct? Also, all the shops in Houston i called do not sell any of their products. will this be an amazon only issue? thanks!

    They are great in some big ways, and crappy in some annoying ways. For me, the most annoying is that if i want to use that very cool 2 speed transmission on another rig (i would buy two right now) then i gotta use their axles. Or throw some X15 or Isokinetic or Super8 or a list of other great axles on it... thats a no go with that transmission. Lame. Their axles are not a great design. Sure, they work fine, but they basically tried to reinvent the wheel with those axles, and if you are going to do that then they better be great.. these are not. I'll wait to buy the body, and wait for someone else to design a nice 2 speed.
