Of the many small-scale R/C releases that I’ve driven this year, the FCX18 Toyota LC80 from FMS is contending for the top spot in my favorites list. The scale looks are more than backed up by the solid performance and power that’s packed into this 1/18-scale trail machine. FMS sent me an FCX18 to take…

FMS might be one of my favorite R/C brands at the moment. Their attention to detail has always been second to none, and now they appear to emphasize performance. Their latest project is a revamp and re-branding of their 1/18-scale crawler lineup with the FCX18 Toyota Land Cruiser 80. The FCX18 LC80 isn’t a new…
FMS is at it again with the release of another 1/18-scale R/C crawler. This time, it looks like they’ve gone back to the drawing board by imagining and redesigning their 1/18-scale platform. The FCX18 Toyota LC80 blends the same stunning visuals you’ve come to expect from FMS with a chassis better suited to crawling performance.…
