FMS has once again knocked it out of the scale park with their fully licensed 1:12 Suzuki Jimny 4WD RTR. The detail of this hard body are incredible with opening doors and hood, full interior with folding seats, realistic chassis, and working LED lights. Not only is it 4wd, but it has a 2-speed transmission.
Because of the details put into this truck, I could see the RC crawler world taking this little guy to the next level with upgrades for more speed and better suspension. It can handle some crawling, but you have to remember the scale of it does limit it more than
our 1/10 scale crawlers that usually have oversized tires and lots of clearance. But when you find scale sized obstacles for it–just like you have to do with 1:24 Micro Crawlers–it does fantastic.
I really do like what FMS is doing with their scale trucks and look forward to what they continue to bring to the market.
