The FMS FCX24 Power Wagon is the most-recent model to join the 1/24-scale R/C crawler scene. With its unique design that blends a hard-body truck cab with portal axles, tractor-style tires, and a two-speed transmission, this rig may not be for everyone. That said, it certainly looks like an interesting option for fans of small-scale […]
