When i try to buy it off the fms website it just tells me “There’s no shipping method available for current address, please ensure the address is correct or use another one.” Even though im on the “canadian” fms site. I’m completely lost, somebody please help. Thanks.
I’m sort of new to smaller scale stuff so I bought the 1.0 sized tires cause it said 1/18 and 1/24 in the listing. At first I thought the tires looked too small but now I think they look more realistic.
Regardless though, they are a huge improvement over the stock tires. They feel sticky to the touch and weigh significantly more, even messing around over couch pillows and blankets I noticed it crawls better and doesn’t tip over as much. Debating if I should buy the 1.3s
First complete teardown just for fun, and to take measurements for upgrades and 3D printing part design.
Hi Guys,
I’d like to upgrade my brushless motor on my GMC Sierra.
It’s seem to lack torque when needed.
I am still running it all original. The ESC beeps at very low rpm when I need high torque and it stops moving. This happens on some steep climbs where I actually do have grip and could climb.
I then have to back up and go again with more gas, hence loosing grip and ending up with all 4’s facing the sky 😅
So I am thinking to upgrade the motor and ESC if needed but want to keep the headlights + led ramp. A plug and play motor change would be ideal for sure.
Would you have any precious advices to share ?
Thanks in advance.
1st real world test after the bodyswap, needs minor tweaks but overall looks great!
The new rig wanted to flex on our hike this morning.
Hi folks !
I have a question : I'm surrounded by a non-flat garden, woods, dirt, some rocks I can find out, small logs, thuja needle carpet, fields near me (when harvested), and it can be rainy as well as dry af in summer.
I'm more looking for something that can go everywhere and be kinda good everywhere.
Do you have any recommendations for a need like this ?
Stock tires lacks of grip everywhere.
Thanks fam !
And here's a bit of my today's walk

Got from marketplace with upgraded wheels and links
As if I needed to start another damn project, but I just don't touch the k10 because it's brushed. So if I change that, I'll use it more👍 just trying to get an idea of what people are doing with their electronics location. Im thinking the esc will go where the stock reciever/esc was so I can access the on/off switch from the hood, and then the reciever will probably go right on the inner rock slider panel. Probably going with another meus 8ch
I’ve seen posts of people “tuning” tire inserts before by filling some of the spaces, but they were mostly adding weight, I wonder what the best material would be for adding some rigidity to the silicone insert while still allowing the tire to conform a little bit🧐 besides foam, this truck does encounter water.
Just wondering whether to buy the LC80 off Fms’ website or FairRC, for the regular version of the LC80. I’m now
seeing the one on FairRC only has 5 reviews and the one on FMS’ site has 174. Let me know if you guys have had any experiences or recommendations to give me on where to buy this truck. Thanks!
I've driven it 3 times and the gears are grinding and an axle snapped already. Compared to my traxxas this thing is shit. I can't believe that a modded fairrc is so weak!
I'm about to pull the trigger on an FCX18S LC80 mystery box by FairRC. This will be my first proper RC car. Im really looking to build on it and make it a fun trail/ overlander. What are some non-negotiable mods/ upgrades you guys can recommend? I know things will inevitably break so I just want to get a head start on parts. Appreciate it ✌️
Anybody know where I can get something like this?
