FMS Hummer EV FCX18 Scaler 1/18 RTR (Black)

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup is a revolutionary all-electric pickup truck. Its design and performance combine the rugged appearance of the traditional Hummer with the advanced technology of electric vehicles, redefining the concept of electric off-road vehicles. This marks Hummer's return to the automotive industry with new power and technological innovation, bringing the pickup truck segment into a new era, and igniting immense anticipation among pickup enthusiasts world­wide.

Background

In the 1980s, the U.S. military was looking for an all-terrain, versatile wheeled vehicle to replace the traditional Jeep. Therefore, in 1983, AM General began development of a military vehicle capable of operating in harsh environments, which ultimately resulted in the Humvee (High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle), the predecessor of the Hummer.
Due to the Humvee's outstanding performance in the military field, it attracted a lot of attention from the public. In order to satisfy consumer demand for a luxury off-road vehicle, AM General transformed the Humvee into a civilian model in 1992 and officially launched the brand name "Hummer".
After years of development, Hummer has gradually gained widespread attention and popularity in the civilian market. In order to adapt to the trend of environmental protection and sustainable development, the Hummer brand began to develop electric models, and in recent years launched the Hummer EV series.
The Hummer EV is characterized by its exterior design. As always, the Hummer EV retains the traditional Hummer military styling, featuring rugged, hard exterior lines and a sense of power.
However, the Hummer EV has a more streamlined design compared to traditional fuel models, reducing wind resistance and enhancing the overall visual aesthetics. This exterior design combination allows the Hummer EV to showcase its unique brand while meeting the aerodynamic requirements of an electric vehicle.
The Hummer EV has also been upgraded in terms of power performance. While Hummer has always been known for its power, Hummer EV inherits this characteristic while paying more attention to overall energy efficiency and environmental performance. The Hummer EV utilizes advanced electric drive technology, allowing the vehicle to convert energy with greater efficiency. In addition, the Hummer EV is equipped with advanced battery technology that provides a longer range, allowing users to drive with greater confidence.

About the model

Licensed by General Motors, the FMS model reproduces the classic vehicle on the FCX18 series chassis. The FMS 1/18 HUMMER EV, much like its original prototype, features a spacious cabin, showcasing the iconic American style of the original vehicle. The shell body is injection molded with sharp, clear contours and exquisite details, and the signature front grille highlights the unique family features. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with widened mirrors, door handles, windshield wipers, and three orange warning lights on the roof. Through the transparent windows, you can see the exquisite dashboard and cabin interior. The contours of various tiny details bring a higher level of likeness to the model car. Utilizing lighting control modules that replicate the real car's lighting effects, the model features synchronized lighting control for headlights, turn signals, and taillights. Furthermore, it comes equipped with soft, large-sized all-terrain tires and highly realistic specialized wheel hubs, allowing for leisurely strolls or high-speed dashes.

To faithfully recreate the off-road capabilities and handling experience of the original vehicle, FMS has made remarkable progress by deriving the FCX18 chassis from the FCX24 series chassis. The FCX18 chassis adopts a metal beam construction, as well as metal bars (6pcs), metal steering rod and linkage that are capable of maintaining performance in extreme environments. The mid-mounted power assembly has a low center of gravity and integrates a 2-speed transmission, transfer case and a 180 brushed motor. The power is transmitted to the front and rear axles through the universal joint drive shaft. The axles are equipped with wheel side reducers, commonly known as "portal axles", which can increase the ground clearance of the differential tooth pack and improve passability.

The FCX18 is equipped with a straight axle by default, but the planetary gear differential can also be replaced with high-viscosity silicone oil to simulate the driving effect of an LSD (limited-slip differential).
After installing the differential, the ultimate climbing ability will be reduced, but a smaller turning radius and a more stable high-speed driving quality can be obtained.

The two-speed gearbox uses CH3 of the remote control and is operated by a 9G steering gear. The low gear reduction ratio is 99, which is larger than that of similar products currently on the market. The torque output is strong, and easy for extreme climbing. The high gear reduction ratio s 24.75, and the speed is higher than that of all similar products currently on the market. You can experience the fun of high-speed, small jumps, and even wheelies.

A variety of upgraded and modified parts such as metal differential, metal universal joint drive shaft, metal gears, brass wheel counterweights and trailers (three styles) etc. will be launched to match the FCX18 chassis for further improving the performance of the vehicle.

The FCX18 HUMMER EV can truly be described as an exquisite static model that embodies the
capabilities of trailing, racing, and crawling.
