FairRC 1/10 FCX10 Cardinal Mod RS Ready-to-Run Rock Crawler (Red)

The FairRC 1/10 FCX10 Cardinal Mod RS is a modified RC rock crawler designed for off-road enthusiasts, featuring a cardinal red repaint and upgraded components. Built on the FMS FCX10 chassis, this 1/10 scale RC car offers robust performance for navigating rocky trails and uneven terrain. With Batrazzi tires and aluminum wheels, it combines durability with a striking appearance for hobbyists seeking a customizable scale RC car.

Performance

The FCX10 Cardinal Mod RS uses a brushed motor and 4WD system to deliver steady torque for crawling over rocks, mud, or steep inclines. The four-link suspension and portal axles enhance ground clearance and traction, allowing navigation of challenging obstacles. While capable on rugged terrain, its brushed motor limits top speed compared to brushless models, and heavy impacts may stress smaller components. It performs reliably on outdoor trails or indoor setups.

Build Quality

The crawler’s Lexan body is lightweight yet durable, with a quick-release system for easy chassis access. Batrazzi 1.9” Precipice tires, made with 70% Butyl rubber, provide strong grip, paired with aluminum beadlock D-Hole wheels for added resilience. The metal beam chassis and hydraulic shocks withstand rough use, though the plastic body may scratch on sharp rocks. A 3D-printed front bumper adds scale realism but requires careful handling to avoid damage.

Control

The included 2.4GHz transmitter offers straightforward steering and throttle control, suitable for beginners and experienced drivers. The system supports precise low-speed crawling, though response may feel less immediate at higher throttle settings. The absence of advanced features like throttle limiting or stability control may limit appeal for novices, but the setup allows consistent trail navigation. Adjusting suspension settings can improve handling on uneven surfaces.

Design and Features

The cardinal red body, inspired by off-road aesthetics, features detailed proportions and a scale-like appearance, enhanced by a 3D-printed bumper with simulated lights. The Batrazzi wheels allow hub and ring customization, adding visual flair. While the body lacks functional lights, the quick-release design simplifies maintenance. The crawler’s compact size suits both outdoor trails and indoor courses, but its non-waterproof electronics limit use in wet conditions.
