The FCX18 Chevrolet K10 is an officially licensed crawler in 1:18 scale. The scaler comes with 2-speed transmission, built-in electronics, integrated lighting, remote control and battery ready to drive out of the box.
100% ScaleThe model is officially licensed by General Motors. From the two-tone livery, the radiator grille, the hinged tailgate on the loading area to the controllable lighting and the simulated bevel gear drives - every detail is right with this scaler.
The tailgate can be opened so that various scale components in 1:18 scale, such as motorcycles, kayaks and various camping equipment, can be stored. The spacious compartment hidden under the hood provides a clear view of the electronic components, making routine maintenance easier.
Masters every terrainTo recreate the off-road capability and handling of the original vehicle, FMS has made remarkable progress by deriving the FCX18 chassis from the FCX24 series chassis. The FCX18 chassis features a metal carrier construction as well as metal carriers (4 pieces) and handlebars (2 pieces), which are powerful even under extreme conditions. The centrally mounted drive unit has a low centre of gravity and includes a 2-speed transmission, transfer case and 180 brush motor. The power is transferred to the front and rear axle via the cardan shaft. The axles are equipped with wheel side reducers, commonly referred to as "portal axles", which increase the ground clearance of the differential gear group and improve drivability.
The FCX18 comes standard with a straight axis, but the planetary differential can also be replaced with high viscosity silicone oil to simulate the drive effect of an LSD lock differential. After installing the differential, the ultimate climbing ability is reduced, but a smaller turning radius and more stable handling at high speeds is achieved.
2-speed gearboxThe two-speed transmission can be switched via the 3rd channel of the remote control and is operated via a 9g servo. The torque is very high and suitable for extreme gradients. The high reduction ratio is 24.75, which allows relatively high speeds to be achieved.
Built-in electronicsThe waterproof electronics consist of a powerful brushed motor, two independent servos, a 3-in-1 receiver/controller/light control unit and a 2S (7.4V) 900mAh LiPo battery. The complete electronics are already integrated and connected in the model, so that the Chevrolet K10 can start immediately after unpacking.

FMS was founded in 2007 in Shenzen and offers beautiful scale foam warbird models. All models are Ready to Fly (requiring only a transmitter, receiver, and battery). They are already finished, sometimes with electric landing gear, and high performance servos, brushless motors, and brushless ESCs. They also offer gliders (sailplanes) and Jets.
