If you ever wanted to relive the Camel Trophy without sweating through the Amazon or getting eaten alive by mosquitoes the size of pigeons, FMS has your back. The new FMS 1:10 FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy Edition RS is here to let you do just that. Built on the proven FCX10 platform, it brings serious trail chops wrapped in officially licensed Land Rover goodness.
This isn’t some vague “inspired by” body shell either. You get the real deal: a hard-wearing PC body, authentic Camel Trophy detailing, a scale interior, and even a driver figure who looks ready to argue about map directions. There are working LEDs, a solid axle setup, a front bumper built to take abuse, and a patented quick-release body system that makes it effortless to get inside.
The FCX10 platform is where the business happens. A front-center motor layout, four-link suspension, and straight axles front and rear give it stable crawling performance. The low-mounted transmission keeps the center of gravity down, letting it stay planted on uneven ground. Add metal oil-filled shocks, all-metal gears, and ball bearings throughout, and it is very clear this thing is made for actual off-roading, not just posing on a desk.
Accessories are included out of the box, and you can pick your style: Discovery, Defender 110, or Range Rover. Each one nails the Camel Trophy look in its own way.
In the box: the FCX10 Land Rover RS, a 6-channel transmitter, a pre-installed ESC/receiver, a 32T brushed 550 motor, and the manual. You’ll need AA batteries and a 2S or 3S pack with an XT60 plug to run it.
The FMS 1:10 FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy Edition RS retails for US$339.99 for the kit, or throw a couple more of tens to get the RTR kit.
