Why 1:24 Scale Makes Sense

The 1:24 scale sits at a practical sweet spot: compact enough to run indoors without dedicating a large space, while the chassis engineering — portal axles, two-speed transmission, universal driveshafts — matches what you find on larger platforms. For collectors who want a capable crawler that also displays well, 1:24 is the format that makes both possible.

Rock Crawlers — Six Models

Rock crawlers account for six of the nine current FMS 1:24 models, dividing between the FCX24S chassis and the newer FCX24M extended-wheelbase platform.

  • FMS 1:24 FCX24M Toyota Tacoma RTR (29 reviews) — officially licensed Toyota Tacoma on the extended 153mm FCX24M wheelbase. Grey, Red and Blue. New addition to the range.
  • FMS 1:24 FCX24 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 421 RTR (32 reviews) — officially licensed Mercedes-Benz Unimog 421. Europe only.

Monster Truck and Short Course

Three Models Worth Highlighting

FMS 1:24 FCX24S Chevrolet K5 Blazer RTR — licensed K5 Blazer with period-accurate proportions on the revised FCX24S chassis. The orange and white configuration is the most recognisable 1:24 crawler on the market right now.

FMS 1:24 FCX24M Land Rover Camel Trophy Edition RTR — 127 reviews and consistently the top-rated model in the range. Roof rack, scale accessories, extended wheelbase FCX24M chassis. If you want one model that covers both display quality and trail capability, this is it.

FMS 1:24 FCX24 Power Wagon Brushless RTR — factory brushless on the FCX24S chassis. For buyers who want the performance upgrade without sourcing a conversion kit separately.

About FMS

FMS has built a strong reputation in the 1:24 and 1:18 micro crawler segment through consistent engineering quality across their FCX series platforms — portal axles, two-speed transmissions and official manufacturer licensing at price points that make the format accessible. All nine 1:24 models are RTR and ship ready to run without additional electronics or assembly required.

Top 8 SCX24 Upgrades (That Actually Improve Performance)

Image
The Axial SCX24 remains one of the strongest 1/24 crawler platforms for one simple reason: the aftermarket is deep, mature, and genuinely useful when the right parts are chosen. That matters, because not every SCX24 upgrade improves performance. Many parts change the look, add weight in the wrong places, or complicate a build without making it crawl better. The upgrades below are the ones that actually make a real difference in steering, stability, breakover clearance, driveline strength, and low-speed control. All products referenced here are based on the current SCX24-compatible range visible through the INJORA Official Store on AliExpress.
