Scale & Motion - RC Crawlers, Micro Upgrades, Model Kits & Scale RC Guides

Ask in any FMS community which 1/24 scale crawler people actually prefer running, and the FCX24M comes up more often than any other variant. It is not the original FCX24, and it is not simply an FCX24S with a different body — the FCX24M is a distinct sub-platform with a new chassis, an extended wheelbase, and a body range that covers some of the most recognisable licensed subjects in the micro crawler segment. This guide covers what the FCX24M actually is, how it differs from the FCX24S, and which specific models in the range are worth your attention.

The FCX24M Toyota Tacoma, for instance, uses a verified 1...

The FMS FCX18S LC80 and FCX24S Chevrolet K5 Blazer approach outdoor crawling from two different scales. Both use two-speed transmissions, four-wheel drive and portal-axle crawler hardware, but their wheelbases, motor classes, battery capacities and physical proportions give them different strengths once the terrain moves beyond a smooth indoor course.

The FMS FCX24S Power Wagon S is currently available in three colour variants — Red, Yellow and Blue — and if you have been considering a 1/24 scale micro crawler, right now is a strong moment to move. The Power Wagon is one of the most capable and well-regarded platforms in the FCX24S range, and the three-colour lineup means there is a version to suit most preferences without any compromise on hardware. This guide covers what the FCX24S Power Wagon S actually is, what separates the three variants, and what you need to know before buying. View the FMS 1/24 FCX24S Power Wagon S at FMS Hobby What Is the FCX24S Power Wagon S? The FCX24S Power Wagon S is the current-generation 1/24 scale crawler built around the classic 1949 Dodge Power Wagon body — one of the most iconic American truck designs ever produced and a natural fit for the scale RC crawler aesthetic. It sits on the FCX24S chassis, which is the revised platform FMS introduced to address the limitations of the original FCX...

Buying an RC crawler is the start of the process, not the end. Whether you are running an FMS FCX24, an FCX18, or a FairRC Mod RTR, the parts and accessories ecosystem around these platforms is where the hobby gets genuinely interesting — and where the visual and performance character of your build becomes your own. FairRC has built one of the most complete accessories catalogues for the FCX24 and FCX18 platforms, covering everything from performance tyres and beadlock wheels through to 3D-printed resin body parts, scale accessories and brushless system upgrades. This guide covers the accessories worth knowing about, organised by category and purpose. Every product is available directly from FairRC's parts catalogue . BATRAZZI Tyres — The Single Most Impactful Upgrade BATRAZZI is FairRC's in-house performance tyre and wheel brand, and it is the first upgrade most FCX18 and FCX24 owners make.

They sit at the intersection of historical interest, fine motor craftsmanship and the quiet satisfaction of building something with your own hands — and then displaying it properly. Whether you are starting out with a straightforward 1/72 scale fighter aircraft or you are deep into a complex 1/35 armour build with full interior detail, the range available today is genuinely extraordinary.

The FairRC 1/24 FCX24M Taco White Truck Mod RTR sits exactly where Scale & Motion is strongest: small-scale RC crawlers, visual realism, practical trail performance, and upgrade potential. It is not a huge 1/10 crawler built for heavy outdoor terrain, and it is not a basic toy-style mini truck either. It is a compact, ready-to-run custom-style Tacoma-based micro crawler with enough scale detail to appeal to collectors and enough mechanical substance to make sense as a usable trail model. For readers already following the FairRC ecosystem, this model is a natural continuation of the wider Mod RTR idea. The FairRC Mod RTR Explained article covers why these modified ready-to-run vehicles matter: they allow buyers to skip part of the research, sourcing, and fitting process by choosing a crawler that already has a more developed visual identity from the start.

FMS covers almost every major branch of electric RC airplane flying, from purpose-built beginner trainers and scale civil aircraft to warbirds, gliders, seaplanes, aerobatic models and high-performance EDF jets. The useful way to navigate that range is not simply to look for the fastest or largest aircraft, but to match the airframe, completion level and flying style to your actual experience and flying space.

FairRC 1/18 FCX18S K10 S Stuntman Mod RTR – A Darker Square-Body Micro Crawler with Custom Trail Attitude The FairRC 1/18 FCX18S K10 S Stuntman Mod RTR is a new custom micro crawler built for drivers and collectors who want something more distinctive than a standard ready-to-run trail truck. Based on the proven FCX18 platform, this version takes the classic K10 square-body shape and gives it a darker, more aggressive custom identity with a matte black finish, skull-and-crossbones graphics, a stepside rear bed, and a stunt-truck inspired appearance. It is not simply a visual repaint. The Stuntman Mod combines the compact practicality of the FCX18 chassis with custom styling, 3D-printed resin components, a shorter frame configuration, an opening tailgate, an adjustable spare mount, and a trail-ready crawler layout. For buyers who like RC vehicles that work both on the trail and on the display shelf, this model sits in a very appealing position. Buy the FairRC 1/18 FCX18S K10 S ...

  There is a moment familiar to most RC crawler hobbyists. You buy a capable RTR platform, run it for a few sessions, and find yourself researching what it could become. Better shocks. Brass weights. A brushless conversion. A body shell that better represents the real vehicle. Beadlock wheels that actually look the part on challenging terrain. The list grows quickly, and so does the time required to research, source, and fit each component correctly. FairRC built a business around solving that problem — and in doing so created something the RC industry had not seen before at this price point: the Mod RTR. Not a stock crawler with stickers. Not a kit that requires assembly. A factory-built vehicle that ships with the upgrade work already done — selected, fitted, and tested before it leaves the warehouse. Mod with the Mod — A Clever Approach There is a second angle worth considering — one that experienced collectors with multiple platforms understand instinctively. A FairRC Mod RTR...
