The FMS FCX18 II 1/18 Ford F-100 Brushless RTR Ð Black combines an officially licensed Ford F-100 hard body with the all-new second-generation FCX18 II platform, delivering detailed scale realism and capable off-road performance in a compact Ready-to-Run crawler.

The new FCX18 II Low Centre of Gravity chassis places the motor and transmission lower in the vehicle to improve climbing stability, reduce body roll and provide better control over steep and uneven terrain. The platform combines a solid axle layout, reverse transmission design and four-link suspension with durable metal components throughout the chassis.

Power comes from a new 1312 2600KV brushless motor paired with a dedicated 10A brushless ESC. The sensored? [not specified] brushless system provides smooth power, quick throttle response and efficient performance, giving the F-100 the control required for technical crawling while still offering faster trail driving capability.

Unlike an integrated ESC/receiver arrangement, the FCX18 II uses an independent ESC and receiver. This modular configuration makes individual components easier to replace and provides greater flexibility for future upgrades and customisation.

The two-speed transmission provides two distinctly different driving characteristics. Low gear delivers the torque and precise control required for technical crawling and steep climbs, while high gear provides increased speed for trails and more open terrain.

Another major development is the new magnetic quick-release body system. Eleven high-strength magnets secure the hard body while allowing it to be removed in seconds without tools. Integrated magnetic electrical contacts automatically connect the body-mounted lighting system, eliminating the need to disconnect lighting wires when removing the body for battery changes or maintenance.

The officially licensed Ford F-100 hard body features authentic Ford badging, grille, bumpers, door handles and roll bar. A fully moulded interior adds a detailed steering wheel and textured seats, while the comprehensive lighting system includes headlights, taillights, turn signals and roof-mounted spotlights with multiple controllable lighting functions.

Officially licensed BFGoodrich KO3 tyres complete the scale appearance while providing traction for crawling and trail driving. The FCX18 II also features metal frame rails, suspension links, steering rods, oil-filled shocks, drivetrain gears and servo gears for increased strength and durability.

A 7.4V 900mAh 2S LiPo battery and USB charger are included, providing approximately 40Ð60 minutes of runtime. The package also includes the FS-MG44 transmitter, with an approximate radio range of 80 metres.

Available from Campbelltown Hobbies, the FMS FCX18 II Ford F-100 Brushless RTR combines classic Ford styling, a new brushless power system and a heavily upgraded crawler platform in one highly detailed 1/18 scale package.
