FMS FCX24 Smasher RTR 1/24 Electric Monster Truck
This is the FMS FCX24 Smasher RTR 1/24 Electric Monster Truck. Designed to tackle the extreme demands that only monster trucks can handle, the Smasher offers aggressive big tire, high ground clearance looks in a 1/24 scale size. The Smasher uses a traditional truck body to give the quintessential monster truck look. Adding to the scale realism is a remote activated LED light system providing you with on demand lighting. Powering this truck is a 130 size brushed motor coupled to a 2-speed transmission. The transmission uses a low speed high torque first gear for improved rock crawling and hill climbing performance while second gear gives you impressive high speed. Transferring that power to the ground is a set of portal axles giving the Smasher incredible ground clearance and reliable performance. Built using the proven and stout FCX24 platform and featuring a highly detailed scale body, the FCX24 Smasher monster truck is a blast to drive for all ages.

Parts quality is nice, and so far it seems very durable. I've heard complaints about previous version's servo stripping out fast, but apparently the older models did not have a servo saver included like this newer version does. So far I've crashed into walls full speed, tumbled down stairs, and the servo is still going.
One upgrade I did do is to add the included o-rings into the shocks and put a single drop of oil inside to basically coat the o-rings and shaft. While not a true sealed oil shock, it works well enough to dampen the bounce from the springs.
