They didn't tell us they were gonna do this :(

The FMS Max Smasher (Mini RC Monster Truck) and the FMS FCX24 Power Wagon are both awesome Mini RC Trucks. Recently FMS updated the Max Smasher, and it caught me by Surprise! And not in a good way!

hey Tomley I just want to say I love your videos, I always feel like I'm hanging out with one of my mates talking RC

[jameswisecarver]

1223 here in Arkansas USA! Afternoon Tomley!! Great video thanks for the heads up they're both pretty cool, I dont have either but I think I would get the max smasher if I was to choose. Cheers!

[lo]

Im still tempted by the mini usa 1, just for messing about in the house with, plus the cats love things like this 😂

[runklestiltskin_]

When all the reviews are out, you switch to the cheaper electronics. Great!

[jamesbinsted]

I am also disappointed on receiving mine with the new remote. First thing I noticed was the missing dip switches. Great truck thou.

[chico]

Great video as usual. I have to say you are the only one that I hear mentioning this issue. I really like that you show the good and also the bad things. Keep going!!

[DirtyPlumbus]

Well this video is a great example of why you were my first RC Tube subscription. I was planning on buying 2 of these as soon they are released, I'll have to reconsider now. It's not such a great gift for a noob when they need to immediately replace electronics. I'll probably still get one for myself, it's not such a big deal for me since I had to replace the electronics in my scx24 before I could use it anyway. Thanks man. 👍

[texomarc]

Thanks for sharing your playtime at the end! So fun!

[rc-dom-uk]

I really was impressed you could remotely do the drag break . A first in rc? I can’t bring myself to swop out the tractor wheels . Thry look so cool 👍

[Fonzierc]

That is a shame 🙄 and yes definitely love the FMS FCX 24 Very nice rig 👍

[nate]

I bought 2 max smashers from 2 different sellers my blue one came with this new transmitter it is total rubbish it came with the throttle reversed and I could not get it to work the right way i contacted fms got no response, luckily I had electronics from my power wagon to use in it. The white one that came yesterday has the proper power wagon transmitter.
This is a really bad move on FMS

[rab..]

So are they putting the V2 controller and esc into the fcx24 power wagons aswell from now on ? If so that would be a big deal breaker for alot of people ...

[carlviner]

A video of the max smasher with fms, s high speed motor and it goes like a Rocket!! Cool Little Truck!

[efotog]

V2 does have adjustable drag brake; it's in the manual. Also My kid has v2 and had no prob doing nose wheely. Maybe he just got lucky and his was sent w/out brake?

[FarmerFpv]

Those were some nice dance moves with the smasher! lol

[jayfarthing]

So with that Controller/ESC change, can you change the mode on the ESC directly instead? Or has this change effectively killed the Max Smasher as an option for someone who would want to do some mini monster trucking, but also be able to swap wheels over and run it as a crawler?

[BULLION]

Just ordered the Power wagon using the link, thank you ! I got my Trxm yesterday, went back and bought to more for my sons for Christmas and going to make an indoor RC crawl course to endure the winter of UTAH ! So this version will have metal portal gears but plastic trans gears ? How goofy ... and the TX RX fiasco doesnt bother me as I have a 6 channel RXTX and looking making the thing brushless and getting the monster truck tires for both world uses. Do you have a recommend on shocks yet, how about beadlock wheels ?

[QuinnsRC]

Sucks that they downgraded the electronics. They've also increased prices quite a bit lately on parts for the FCX24. Hopefully they don't bungle their way out of a good thing. I've messaged FMS (not that I have clout or a direct line or anything), but the more they hear from consumers, the more likely they are to stay on track with us. It'd be a shame to see the FCX24 platform fall away because of bad business decisions.

[Machine_Brad]

Great channel, subscribed, and just ordered the Power Wagon using your link and discount. Thank you ;). Added quite a few mods for my son based on your recommendations and may be worth continuing the mod scene for this as I can see it's big! Cue Mccue trailing arms ;)
