FMS FCX24 Lemur 1/24 Scale 4WD Brushed Rock Racer Ready-to-Run with 2-Speed Transmission
The FMS FCX24 Lemur is a 1/24 scale electric RC rock racer that blends crawling capability with a lightweight buggy-style design. Built on the FCX24 platform, it is aimed at hobbyists who want a compact crawler with more aggressive styling and improved articulation. Its tubular cage layout and exposed structure give it a competition-inspired look, while still remaining beginner-friendly as a Ready-to-Run model.
Performance
The Lemur is powered by a 130-size brushed motor paired with a 4WD drivetrain and a selectable 2-speed transmission. Low gear delivers strong torque for technical crawling, while high gear allows for faster movement across open terrain. Portal axles increase ground clearance and improve obstacle handling, making it capable on rocks, gravel, and uneven indoor setups.
Design and Features
This model uses a nylon tube-frame chassis with a rock buggy layout rather than a traditional truck body. It includes a detailed interior with driver figures and a roof-mounted LED light bar for added realism. The large off-road tires and wide stance contribute to both stability and grip, while the lightweight design improves maneuverability.
Control
The included 2.4GHz radio system offers proportional throttle and steering, allowing for precise control at low speeds. This is particularly useful for crawling, where small inputs make a difference. The dual-speed gearbox also adds versatility, letting drivers switch between controlled crawling and faster trail driving.
Build Quality
The Lemur features a high-strength nylon frame combined with metal drivetrain components such as portal gears and a metal-gear steering servo. The four-link suspension system provides strong articulation, helping each wheel maintain contact with uneven terrain. This setup is designed for durability while keeping overall weight low.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
As part of the FCX24 lineup, this model is designed with accessibility in mind. It arrives pre-assembled, and routine maintenance such as cleaning and part replacement is straightforward. The platform also supports a wide range of aftermarket upgrades, making it suitable for users who want to modify and improve performance over time.
Special Notes
This is a Ready-to-Run model - includes the vehicle, transmitter, and a 7.4V LiPo battery with USB charger. Charge the battery, install AA batteries in the transmitter (not included), and it is ready for use. The platform supports upgrades such as metal links, drivetrain parts, and weighted wheels for improved crawling performance.
