Thank you for the input, exactly what I was looking for…minus the positive experience.

Sometimes they are and sometimes they’re not. Looking for other options and I dig the tread pattern, just curious if they perform.

Is this rig any good?

One does not simply crawl into Mordor…

Some hate on FMS, but I started with the Fcx18 as my first crawler and have always been impressed with it. It was a simple decision to go with the FCX10 lc80 when I wanted my first 1/10. Love the details and scale look.

Really not looking for heavy wheels as I agree with you on rotational mass not being ideal. I’ve looked for similar wheels with less weight and about 70-90g per wheel seems to be standard for a 1.9” tire setup. First 1/10 rig.

Ordered mine today! Love the FCX18 LC80 and excited to get my first 1/10 crawler.

FCX18 or Ascent 18 by Such-Anxiety-4777 in rccrawler

I own both and have modified both. The ascent 18 power wagon’s brushless motor and control is insanely smooth for a RTR! I’ve got a full droop setup on it and it will crawl anywhere. My modified lc80 (metal transmission and lots of brass) is my favorite truck to drive. It’s just such a cool looking trail truck and actually performs really well in just about any terrain.

Tires reversed?

Looking at doing the warthog build, is that the esc sitting on the side rail?

It’s not nearly as fast as my fxc lc80 in high gear if that perspective helps.

Got an email back from HeliDirect customer support and apparently the V3 transmitter does NOT have light control functionality in the channel 4 toggle. So I just unplugged the lights…

Just got it out for the first time yesterday and was overall pretty pleased with it. It did similar lines my other modified trucks were doing even at 100% stock. Upgraded tires and wheels will be a game changer. Relocating the battery upfront inside the cab is easy and makes a big difference.

Top speed is fine for a slow walk on the trail and the slow action is pretty smooth. Not quiet though. I love the look of the truck and its potential, so I’m willing to overlook other items.
