I Didn’t Expect Weight Placement to Matter This Much!

Same truck, same line, three configurations. Steering geometry and weight placement tested step-by-step on real climbs. Link to upgrades: Brass steering link: https://www.fairrc.com/products/batra...

FairRC 1/24 FCX24M Tacoma RTR: https://www.fairrc.com/products/fms-1... Is this the most impressive 1/24 scale RC crawler right at now? The FMS FCX24M Toyota Tacoma packs a licensed hard body, 2-speed transmission, solid axles, and serious scale detail — all in a tiny, trail-ready package. In this video, I put the FCX24M Tacoma through its paces and upgrades: 👉 Upgrading the steering links 👉 Upgrading the bumper mount 👉 Relocating the battery This mini Tacoma surprised me more than expected. For its size and price, it punches way above its weight — but it’s not perfect. Watch till the end to see whether it’s actually worth upgrading or if this is another hyped upgrade. 👇 Let me know in the comments Would you run this stock — or start upgrading it right away? 📌 Don’t forget to Like, Comment, and Subscribe if you enjoy RC content and want to see more mods and tests like this! ► Follow me on Instagram!   / ascendrc_   ► Follow me on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
