New 1/18 Toyota FJ Cruiser by FMS

[donaldsneffe]

Hi,
a further new 1/18 model by FMS/Eachine:

Eachine & FMS for TOYOTA FJ Crusier RTR 1/18

Eachine & FMS for TOYOTA FJ Crusier RTR 1/18 with 2 batteries

Saw that earlier, very nicely detailed body and interior. It will be interesting to see how it scales to my 1/20. ( Mine is just a solid body with non opening good and no interior)
I think for once I won't preorder and will wait haha. Looks to be using the same axles and transmission as the Patriot and Arizona that have those nice CVDs. I wonder if it will get the same metal axle gears as the katana V2?

Have always had a hard time with the model Toyota there ... Just can not figure out if I like it or not.

Just a bonus question, can it really be true that there is no official website for FMS / Rochobby and Eachine ??

I was just thinking the same thing when a friend sent me the screen shot of their new 1/6 Jimney. I can't believe in this day and age, that they do not have their own official website.

They do have a website: https://www.fmsmodel.com/

Hi,
there is already a 17% off coupon from Banggood, for both, 1-battery version and 2-battery version:

Code BGa591c1

This makes it really appealing... compare this price to the new (and very similar) RocHobby Fire Horse Jeep...

Yes, but I do still not know if this is an official website or only a store site.
I did already order there once (Jeep Arizona), worked flawlessly.

But they do not list all models all time, and they do often not list the new models (1/6 Suzuki), while you can already find videos on YT or pics on other sites.

I also do not think this is an official website as it as Donald says is very little updated, so maybe a dealer page but is strange there is no more known about them.

Just because it's not updated doesn't mean it's not official. There's plenty of companies out there that have official websites that aren't up to date. Sometimes they focus more on social media updates, other times it's just not a big concern.

Spoo: Maybe you are right....

And I really like it.
Metal gears in axles, universal steering, awesome lightcontroller, dragbrake on/off by remote...

EazyRC Triton. I assume like the other cheaper EazyRC versions these have plastic gears with cheaper electronics and packaging, possibly no interior like the Arizona. I feel like FMS should have gone with the molded blue instead of molded yellow and left the yellow for EazyRC

After a long time this seem to be the very first metal upgrade (oil?) shocks for those 1/18 Models by FMS, RocHobby, EazyRC, Hobby Plus (but the expensive red Hobby Plus metal upgrade shocks):
