FairRC— The Complete Buyer's Guide to RC Crawlers, Scale Mods, Batrazzi Upgrades and Accessories
FairRC has become one of the most important names in the scale RC crawler and micro trail truck hobby. What started as a platform for specialist modifications on existing FMS platforms has grown into a comprehensive retailer covering factory RTR crawlers, custom mod vehicles, BATRAZZI performance upgrades, scale accessories, RC aircraft, and a parts catalogue that rivals dedicated specialist suppliers.
This guide covers the full FairRC ecosystem — organised by section, by scale, and by buyer type — so you can find exactly what you need without navigating a catalogue of over a thousand products from scratch.

What FairRC is — and what makes it different
FairRC is not a standard hobby retailer stocking other manufacturers' products at standard retail prices. Their business model is significantly more specific than that.
FairRC operates as both a distributor for FMS and selected partner brands and as a direct producer of modified RTR crawlers — vehicles that are built, upgraded, and sold ready-to-run with carefully selected performance and scale detail enhancements applied before shipping.
This means buying from FairRC often delivers a vehicle that a builder would otherwise have to assemble from a base model and separately sourced upgrade parts. The Mod RTR format is the core product that no other mainstream retailer currently offers in the same way.
FairRC also produces the BATRAZZI brand — their line of performance upgrade components covering brushless conversion systems, aluminium and brass chassis upgrades, oil-filled shocks, beadlock wheels, tyres, and steering hardware — across multiple platforms beyond FMS, including the Axial SCX24 and TRX-4M.
For a broader overview of FairRC's approach, the FairRC RC Crawlers and Scale Parts — What Makes Them Different article covers the background in full.
How to navigate FairRC
FairRC's catalogue is organised into four main sections:
Cars and Trucks — RTR crawlers and trail trucks by scale, covering FMS, Hobby Plus, ROCHOBBY, and EAZYRC.
FairRC Mods — factory-modified RTR vehicles with BATRAZZI upgrades and scale enhancements already fitted.
BATRAZZI Upgrades — standalone performance and scale upgrade components organised by type and platform.
Parts — 3D-printed parts, scale accessories, electronics, body shells, and maintenance items.
1. Cars and trucks — choosing by scale
1/24 scale — FCX24 and FCX24M
The 1/24 scale platform is FairRC's highest-volume category and the format that has driven most of the hobby's growth in the compact segment over the past two years.
The FCX24 and FCX24M platforms use a portal axle chassis, dual-speed transmission, and scale body shells covering the Chevrolet K5 Blazer, Power Waggon, Unimog 421, and the full Land Rover range. The FCX24M is the more recent platform with improved body detail, a more realistic interior, and the broadest aftermarket support from BATRAZZI.
For a detailed breakdown of the FCX24 variants, the Ultimate Buyer's Guide to FCX24 Upgrades and the FMS FCX24 vs Redcat Ascent-18 comparison cover both the platform decision and the post-purchase upgrade path.

1/18 scale — FCX18, FSC18 and Hobby Plus CR18P
The 1/18 scale segment delivers the most visual presence for indoor and light outdoor crawling while remaining small enough for most hobby spaces.
FMS's FCX18 covers the Toyota Land Cruiser 80, Chevrolet K10 Stepside, GMC Sierra S, and HUMMER EV in brushed and brushless variants. The FSC18 covers the Ford Bronco. The Hobby Plus CR18P adds the Arktos 6x6 and Terranaut 8x8 multi-axle platforms — subjects with no direct equivalent from other manufacturers at this scale.
The FairRC 1/18 FCX18S K10 Stepside Mod RTR and FairRC 1/18 FCX18 Toyota LC80 Tri-Color V2 cover two of the most popular subjects at this scale in full detail.

1/10 scale — the full outdoor platform
At 1/10 scale, FMS's FCX10 platform — in Toyota Land Cruiser 80, Chevrolet K5, and Land Rover configurations — is capable of genuine outdoor terrain work on rock, gravel, and uneven surfaces that smaller formats handle with difficulty. The Canyon RS and F100 add further variety.
ROCHOBBY's 1/10 Atlas and Mashigan complement the FMS range with different chassis configurations.
For buyers stepping up from 1/24 or 1/18, the FMS & FairRC Premium Brands for RC article provides useful context on what changes at the 1/10 scale.

1/6 scale — the flagship format
The 1/6 FMS Suzuki Jimny measures approximately 47 cm in length and is a genuine display piece as much as a functional crawler. At this scale the interior detail, body accuracy, and mechanical presence are beyond anything available in smaller formats.
ROCHOBBY's 1/6 1941 MB Scaler covers Second World War Willys Jeep fans at the same scale.

2. FairRC Mods — ready-upgraded RTR vehicles
The FairRC Mods category is what sets FairRC apart from every other retailer in the hobby. These are factory-modified RTR crawlers that ship with a curated selection of BATRAZZI and custom upgrades already fitted — brushless conversion, oil-filled shocks, upgraded beadlock wheels, 3D-printed scale accessories, and custom body graphics, all applied before the vehicle leaves the warehouse.
The value proposition is clear: a FairRC Mod RTR removes the research, sourcing, and build time associated with upgrading a stock platform. The trade-off is a higher purchase price — the cost reflects the upgrade work.
Mods are available for the FCX24M Tacoma, FCX18 LC80, FCX18 K10, FCX24M Land Rover range, FCX24 K5, FCX24 Unimog, CR18P Arktos, CR18P Terranaut, CR18P EVO-V2, and FCX10 LC80.

3. BATRAZZI upgrades — the performance ecosystem
BATRAZZI is FairRC's own upgrade brand and the most technically sophisticated part of their catalogue. The range covers every major component category for FCX24M, FCX24, FCX18, FCX10, TRX-4M, and SCX24 platforms.
Brushless conversion systems
The BATRAZZI CTRL-FRK brushless system converts brushed FCX18 and FCX24 platforms to brushless power with a complete drop-in electronics package. This is the single highest-impact upgrade available for either platform. The BATRAZZI Brushless Systems for FCX18 and FCX24 article covers this upgrade in full technical detail.

Oil-filled aluminium shocks
BATRAZZI's oil-filled aluminium shocks replace the plastic units on stock FMS platforms with precision-machined aluminium-bodied units. The improvement in articulation and damping consistency is immediately apparent on technical terrain.

Wheels and tyres
BATRAZZI's wheel catalogue covers beadlock wheels in aluminium and plastic across multiple sizes — 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2, and 1.9 inch — for FMS and compatible platforms. Tyre options span AT, MT, and road patterns.

Brass upgrade sets
Brass components — weights, axle housings, servo mounts, wheel hexes, chassis links — lower the centre of gravity and improve traction on technical terrain. Platform-specific sets are available for FCX24M Land Rover, FCX24M Tacoma, FCX18 LC80, FCX18 K10, and FCX10 variants.
All-terrain track systems
BATRAZZI's track conversion sets for FCX24 and FCX18 replace the standard wheel and tyre setup with a rubber track system for snow, sand, and extreme loose terrain.

4. Parts and accessories
3D-printed scale accessories
FairRC's 3D-printed parts cover wooden flatbed truck beds for FCX24 Power Wagon and Unimog, camper shells for Tacoma and K5 platforms, tonneau covers, rack systems, and body detail accessories — all designed specifically for the platforms they support.
Browse 3D-printed parts at FairRC
Scale accessories
Fuel cans, tool boxes, spare tyres, recovery gear, and load items organised by vehicle scale — small-scale for 1/24 and 1/18, large-scale for 1/10 and 1/6.

Who FairRC is for
FairRC is the right retailer for three types of buyer.
First — those who want a stock FMS, Hobby Plus, or ROCHOBBY crawler from a retailer who knows these platforms thoroughly.
Second — those who want a Mod RTR vehicle that ships with the most commonly desired upgrades already applied.
Third — those who want BATRAZZI upgrade components for an existing FCX24M, FCX24, FCX18, FCX10, or TRX-4M platform sourced directly from the brand that produces them.

TRX-4M owners — BATRAZZI has you covered too
FairRC does not sell Traxxas vehicles, but TRX-4M owners have a strong reason to visit the catalogue. BATRAZZI produces a dedicated range of upgrade components specifically engineered for the TRX-4M platform — covering aluminium caster blocks, steering blocks, steering links, track mounts, and chassis hardware. If you already run a TRX-4M and want to push its performance and scale detail further, the BATRAZZI TRX-4M range is worth exploring.

FairRC has also confirmed BATRAZZI upgrades for the SCX30 are coming soon — worth checking back if that is your platform.

Final verdict
FairRC has built a catalogue that is genuinely difficult to replicate by combining purchases across multiple retailers. The combination of stock RTR platforms, factory-modified Mod RTR crawlers, and the BATRAZZI in-house upgrade brand creates an ecosystem where everything works together — and where the buyer can choose their preferred level of involvement, from straight out-of-box RTR to fully upgraded scale build.
For 1/24 and 1/18 scale crawler buyers in particular, FairRC is the single most relevant retailer in the current market.
