FMS FCX18 Hummer EV RTR
The team at FMS has added another branch to their FCX18 family with the introduction of the FCX18 Hummer EV. While many of the models under the FMS banner are replicas of classic off-road vehicles, the FCX18 Hummer EV is a drastic change given that it's not only a modern model, but also a replica of a 1:1 fully-electric vehicle.
This model shares quite a few features with its FCX18 counterparts such as a metal ladder-frame chassis, oil-filled shocks, and a two-speed transmission. There are, however, a few differences between this model and the FCX18 Toyota LC80 and FCX18 Chevy K10 that came before it.
For starters, the Hummer EV features push-to-release clip body mounting system, allowing you full, unhampered access to the chassis and electronics. This FCX18 model also includes an interior tray with molded driver for added scale detail. While FMS has released interiors as add-on items, this is a nice bonus for fans of true scale detail.
Speaking of scale detail, the FCX18 Hummer EV looks amazing. Having seen more 1:1 Hummer EVs on the road, this is a model that's caught my eye and it looks like FMS has nailed the overall visual look of this 1/18-scale model. It features pre-installed LED headlights and taillights with multiple modes to let you adjust your lighting to fit your driving situation.
Two body colors are available for the FCX18 Hummer EV, white and black. Both color options ride on 66mm-tall tires which are mounted to modern, multi-spoke wheels.
