For those of you who bought an off-roader but can’t bring yourself to scratch it up on anything more rugged than the local parking lot speed bump, or if you’ve never even gotten around to owning one, the FMS 1:10 FCX10 LC80 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 RS is here to save the day. No need to get your shiny new ride dusty—just take this highly detailed RC beast for a spin instead, and you’ll feel like you’re dominating the trails… without any of the mud on your actual vehicle.
Officially authorized by Toyota, this 1/10 scale Land Cruiser is a dream for off-road enthusiasts who prefer to keep their real car showroom clean. It’s got everything you’d expect from the iconic LC80—right down to the mirrors, waders, and a driver figure that looks way more adventurous than you. The interior detail is so good, you might forget you’re not actually in the driver’s seat. Plus, with the magnetic light controls and fenders that keep the mud (on the toy, of course) in check, it’s like the real thing—minus the hefty insurance.
With a 4-link suspension, solid axles, and a mid-front motor for a lower center of gravity, this little monster is built to handle rough terrain with ease, even when things get dicey. And if you need to switch from low gear to high to really open it up, just hit the servo-controlled switch. It’s all the fun of off-roading without the risk of rolling down a hill.
Daily maintenance is easy with its quick-release battery compartment, and everything’s designed for simple upkeep. Plus, that patented knob-type quick-release structure makes you feel like an engineering genius every time you use it.
So, whether you’re tearing through your backyard or navigating a rocky slope (or, let’s be honest, just trying not to drive it under the couch), the FMS 1:10 FCX10 LC80 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 RS has you covered. And the best part? It costs way less than a full-size off-roader, and you won’t have to explain to anyone why you haven’t taken it off the pavement.
