FMS FCX18 II Brushless Ford F-100
FMS has been stealing the spotlight in the small-scale R/C scene with the release of its FCX18 II Ford F-100, and they're following it up with another hot number. Meet the FCX18 II Brushless Ford F-100. This reimagined 1/18-scale crawler and trail truck platform has another enticing option with this brushless-powered release.
Featuring the same LCG chassis design and magnet-mounted body system as the original FCX18 II, this version adds the smooth performance of a 1312-size brushless motor paired with an independent brushless ESC and receiver. While it's become the norm to find 2-in-1 ESC and receiver combos in ready-to-run (RTR) vehicles, the fact that all of this truck's electronics are separate is great for potential repairs and upgrades.
Along with the upgraded electronics and powerplant, FMS has given this F-100 a sharp matte black paint job to set it apart from the rest of the crowd. Of course, if can buy other pre-painted Ford F-100 bodies to swap onto the FCX18 II chassis, which is part of what makes this entire platform so intriguing.
