FMS 1/24 Chevrolet Colorado Off-Road Truck RTR RC Crawler
FMS 1/24 Chevrolet Colorado Off-Road Truck RTR RC Crawler
The FMS 1/24 Chevrolet Colorado Off-Road Truck RTR is a highly detailed licensed mini crawler featuring full-time 4WD, oil-filled shocks, metal drivetrain, and functional LED lighting. This RC rock crawler excels at low-speed technical crawling on rocks, dirt, or indoor obstacles, with realistic scale body, opening doors, and adjustable suspension. Its compact size and RTR package make it a choice for hobbyists interested in remote control rock crawlers for trail simulation or display.
Performance
The high-torque brushed motor and full-time 4WD drivetrain provide excellent low-speed control and torque for crawling over obstacles up to 1–2 inches tall. The adjustable oil-filled shocks and multi-link suspension allow tuning for different terrain. Speeds are controlled and low (5–8 mph max), prioritizing precision over speed. Runtime averages 20–30 minutes on the included 7.4V 380mAh LiPo battery, with smooth power delivery for long trail sessions.
Build Quality
Composite chassis with metal portal axles, steel C-channel frame, and sealed ball bearings ensure durability in tight spaces. The polycarbonate Chevrolet Colorado body with detailed accessories (roof rack, spare tire, opening doors) survives rollovers and light crashes. Waterproof electronics protect against dust and splashes. Users report excellent longevity, though plastic wheel hexes may wear on abrasive rocks (metal upgrades available).
Control
The included 2.4GHz transmitter offers full proportional steering and throttle with ~30 m range. Response is smooth with minimal lag—ideal for precise line choice. Steering trim and throttle endpoints are adjustable. Transmitter requires 4×AA batteries (not included).
Design and Features
Officially licensed Chevrolet Colorado body with realistic details (opening doors, interior, roof rack, spare tire). Functional LED headlights/taillights add visibility. Includes everything-to-run: battery, USB charger, and spare parts. The crawler arrives fully factory-assembled and tuned.
Special Notes: This is a Ready-to-Run model, fully assembled with the crawler, 2.4GHz transmitter, 7.4V 380mAh LiPo battery, USB charger, and instructions included. Transmitter requires 4×AA batteries (not included). Suitable for beginners and intermediate users seeking scale crawling performance in a small package.
