Key Features
The FMS 1/10 LC80 RC Crawler is engineered with several advanced features for a realistic and robust off-road experience.
Toyota Authorized 1/10 LC80 Scale Model

Magnetic Interface & Light Wake-up System
The vehicle comes with pre-installed factory headlights, front turn signals, side turn signals, rear turn signals, and reversing lights. The car shell utilizes a magnetic interface to draw power from the chassis, allowing the entire lighting system to be activated with a single button press on the remote control.

FCX10 Simulated Climbing Chassis
The FCX10 chassis features a mainstream mid-front power layout and a four-link suspension system. Its larger diameter tires provide ample ground clearance and climbing capability. The integrated mid-front motor and gearbox contribute to a lower center of gravity compared to similar products, reducing the likelihood of rollovers.

2-Speed Switch
A metal splash-proof steering gear located on the side of the battery compartment is responsible for switching between high and low-speed gears, offering versatility for different terrains and driving styles.

Convenient Inspection and Maintenance
The battery compartment is designed for easy access, allowing it to be flipped back or quickly removed. An innovative knob-type quick-release structure integrates the power supply and signal lines of the light set with the magnetic module, simplifying inspection and maintenance.

Initial Checks
Before first use, ensure all connections are secure and the wheels rotate freely. Check for any visible damage to the chassis or body.
Operating Instructions
Remote Control Pairing
Refer to your remote control's specific manual for pairing instructions. Typically, this involves turning on the vehicle and then the remote control, allowing them to automatically link.
Driving Controls
Use the remote control's throttle trigger for forward and reverse movement, and the steering wheel for left and right turns. Practice in an open area to familiarize yourself with the controls.
Speed Shifting
The 2-speed transmission allows you to switch between high and low gears. Locate the speed switch on the side of the battery compartment. Engage the low gear for increased torque and climbing ability, and the high gear for faster speeds on flatter terrain.
Lighting Control
The pre-installed lighting system can be activated via a single button on your remote control. This system powers the headlights, turn signals, and reversing lights through the magnetic interface on the car shell.
