The FMS FCX24M Toyota Tacoma is a highly detailed 1/24-scale licensed rock crawler featuring full-time 4WD, portal axles, oil-filled shocks, and realistic LED lighting. This RC rock crawler excels at low-speed technical crawling on rocks, dirt, or indoor obstacles, with scale Toyota Tacoma body, opening doors, and adjustable suspension. Its compact size and complete RTR package make it a popular choice for hobbyists interested in remote control rock crawlers for trail simulation or display.
Performance
The high-torque brushed motor and 4WD drivetrain with portal axles provide excellent low-end torque and high ground clearance 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 Toyota Tacoma 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 on technical terrain. Steering trim and throttle endpoints are adjustable. Transmitter requires 4×AA batteries (not included).
Design and Features
Officially licensed Toyota Tacoma body with realistic details (opening doors, interior, roof rack, spare tire). Functional LED headlights/taillights add visibility during low-light runs. 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.
