The FairRC FCX24 Timberline Mod 1/24 4WD Ready-to-Run combines a detailed Power Wagon replica with upgraded components for micro-scale off-road adventures. This micro RC crawler features a handcrafted 3D-printed flatbed with real wooden panels, Batrazzi Mud Pro-X tires, and a two-speed transmission, designed for trail performance and scale realism. Available in red, blue, yellow, or black, it suits hobbyists interested in RC rock crawlers and detailed scale models.
Performance
The FCX24 Timberline Mod handles rugged terrain with a 4WD system and portal axles, providing high ground clearance for navigating rocks or uneven surfaces. The two-speed transmission allows switching between high-speed cruising and low-speed crawling, offering versatility on indoor or outdoor trails. Batrazzi Mud Pro-X tires with soft rubber enhance grip, though traction may slip on loose dirt without adjustments. The four-link suspension ensures stability, but the small scale limits performance on extremely steep inclines compared to larger crawlers.
Build Quality
The high-strength nylon frame and metal-gear steering servo contribute to durability, handling moderate impacts during trail use. The handcrafted wooden flatbed, while visually appealing, requires careful handling to avoid damage due to its delicate construction. The polystyrene body withstands light crashes, but prolonged rough use may cause wear on the painted finish or 3D-printed parts like the bumper and toolbox.
Design and Features
The Timberline Mod replicates a mid-20th-century Power Wagon with a pre-painted body, remote-controlled LED lights, and personalized stickers for authenticity. The 3D-printed flatbed with real wood panels and a simulated winch add scale detail, appealing to collectors. Weighted steelie wheels improve stability but add slight weight, potentially affecting agility. The rapid-separation body simplifies maintenance, though the absence of oil-filled shocks may reduce smoothness on rough terrain compared to some competitors.
Control
The Flysky G3 V1 transmitter provides smooth operation with adjustable lights, driving modes, and drag brake settings, suitable for both beginners and experienced drivers. The 30-meter remote distance supports indoor or small outdoor spaces, but the 20-minute battery runtime may require frequent recharging for longer sessions. Steering precision is reliable, though fine-tuning may be needed for technical trails.
Special Notes: This is a Ready-to-Run model, fully assembled with a pre-painted body, integrated battery, and USB charger included. Requires 4x AAA batteries for the transmitter (not included). Suitable for beginners with straightforward controls, but experienced users can adjust settings for enhanced trail performance.
