It's an FMS 1/18th scale even if they call it 1/24.
You gonna keep the cap on it? I think it looks good both ways so I would want two.

You continue to blow my mind.
Congratulations, nice new rig!
I used to own an 85 or 86 military m1009 (k5..) and I keep wanting to build an rc version of that since all these scale k5s came out lol. It never ends does it? Finding new things to build that is lol

For now the Cap stays on. I thought about a 2nd one but this one will probably sit on the shelf most of its life.It's an FMS 1/18th scale even if they call it 1/24.

Co-worker got his yesterday, and brought it in today. Looks very nice. Love the 2 speed trans. Oil in the shocks is a must though.

Mines getting a bunch of upgrades. I'm ripping out the motor and transmission going Furitek brushless, new servo and links. Already put on the new wheels and tires. It looks like the links for the Cayman will fit this perfectly.

The Cayman uses most of the FMS chassis parts, everything should fit pretty well.

I picked up a cayman kit (they’re on sale) I figure I can swap over all the links, shocks and servo and have a backup motor/drivetrain and chassis. Hell the links alone are $60.

Yes! That's precisely the effect you have on me when articulating your thoughts! Very frightening!

Had a little time to finish this up got everything mounted in place and got the lights working (needed an adapter). This rig is fast 
in 2nd gear and the low gear is SLOW. I keep it in high gear most the time not really a crawler. The Cayman links and shocks made a huge difference in the way it drives.
